The next generation of wireless is behind a wave of new cell site deployments

• Wireless networks must Densify to meet the

demand for more data and lower latency

• Each “Small Cell” will cover a more compact

area than traditional towers

• They will often attach to existing infrastructure

such as utility poles and street lights

Traditional cell sites cover areas measured in square miles 5G: Convergence Between the Wireline and Wireless Providers

The next generation of wireless is behind a wave of new cell site deployments 5G: Convergence Between the Wireline and Wireless Providers

Business districts and neighborhoods alike will require densification — anywhere demand is high Residential Urban Core The next generation of wireless is behind a wave of new cell site deployments 5G: Convergence Between the Wireline and Wireless Providers

New Cell Sites, in turn, drive demand for fiber, power and places to attach Residential Business districts and neighborhoods alike will require densification — anywhere demand is high Urban Core 5G: Convergence Between the Wireline and Wireless Providers

The entire telecom sector is converging

What is 5G and what does it mean to my city? Benefits of a 5G Network

• Higher Speeds
• Lower Latency
• Increased Capacity

Industry Effect Communication Interactive virtuality Entertainment Ultra-fast wireless 4K video Gaming Multi-player Virtual Reality Education Remote visual training Agriculture Remote machine mgmt. & monitoring Manufacturing Industrial robots Telemedicine Remote diagnosis & operations Automotive Driverless vehicles Aviation Drone delivery

Cities with 5G will:

• Improve Quality of Life
• Run More Efficiently (Smart Cities)
• Compete for Companies & Jobs
• Attract and Retain Citizens

Urban vs. Rural – Will less populated areas benefit from 5G? The Technologies of 5G

• High-band radio frequencies
• Massive MIMO (Multi-In Multi-Out)
• Edge computing
• Small cells
• Beamforming
• Radio convergence
• NOMA (non-orthogonal multiple access)
• SDN/NFV (Software Defined Network /

Network Function Virtualization)

• Channel coding
• Operation in Unlicensed spectrum
• With 4G LTE, the technology was all or nothing

(You either have it or you don’t)

• 5G is a group of technologies which are NOT

CO-DEPENDENT upon one another

• T-Mobile announced last week it is holding back

a portion of it’s low-band spectrum for 5G

• High-Speed, High-Capacity Fiber is a must for

full 5G deployment

YES, but not without local efforts 5G: Convergence Between the Wireline and Wireless Providers

+550%

increase In 2018

It took over 3 decades for the wireless industry to deploy 300,000 tower and rooftop sites. The number of small cells deployed is predicted to rapidly increase

• ver the next few years.

Some cities are already straining with requests for small cell permits. If analysts are even close in their estimates of sites needed for the deployment of 5G networks, this wave will overwhelm them.

The Numbers Are Staggering

Cities manage many things in the Right of Way

5G: Convergence Between the Wireline and Wireless Providers

Reality Check: Much of what is in the Right of Way is unknown until someone starts digging 5G: Convergence Between the Wireline and Wireless Providers

Ensuring new infrastructure protects property values Residential Areas Business Districts

Avoid obscuring storefronts Maintain accessibility and egress Property (Parcel) Line Avoid interfering with tree growth Maintain accessibility and egress Avoid impacting curb appeal

Maintaining CURB APPEAL

Protecting property values keeps constituents happy but reduces available locations for new pole installations. Sidewalks and curb cuts also must remain clear for pedestrians and wheelchairs.

Encroachment Permits for Equipment

• Includes Utility Plan Review (UPR) for Power
• Review with agency stakeholders
• Ongoing permit to exist in ROW

Utility Plan Review for Fiber Optic Conduit

• Review with agency stakeholders
• Public Works reviews against City or other fiber needs

Construction Permitting for eventual work in ROW

• Final Construction conflicts resolved by inspector

A small cell permit request kicks off an investigative process to determine viability, acceptability and conflict resolution

Accurate, up-to-date mapping is essential for Pre-processing and ROW Space Management

• Maintain city aesthetics
• Allow coordination with other city projects and schedules
• Plan the deployment of supporting infrastructure, such as

power and fiber connectivity

• Minimize disruption to sidewalks and streets
• Identify Parks, Historic, Special Districts for special treatment
• Identify Co-Location opportunities and locations and plan

for larger 2-3 carrier pole solutions

• Minimize city expense & provide efficient use of city personnel
• Prepare to support Smart City and IoT programs
• Establish a process for wireless carriers to deploy their networks

and efficiently, timely, and cost effectively as possible
