5G: Convergence Between the Wireline and Wireless Providers Traditional cell sites cover areas measured in square miles 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
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 The next generation of wireless is behind require densification — a wave of new cell site deployments anywhere demand is high Urban Core Residential
5G: Convergence Between the Wireline and Wireless Providers Business districts and neighborhoods alike will require densification — anywhere demand is high New Cell Sites, in turn, drive demand for fiber, power and places to attach Urban Core Residential
5G: Convergence Between the Wireline and Wireless Providers The entire telecom sector is converging

5G: Convergence Between the Wireline and Wireless Providers What is 5G and what does it mean to my city? Industry Effect Benefits of a 5G Network Communication Interactive virtuality • Higher Speeds Entertainment Ultra-fast wireless 4K video • Lower Latency • Increased Capacity Gaming Multi-player Virtual Reality Education Remote visual training Agriculture Remote machine mgmt. & monitoring Cities with 5G will: Manufacturing Industrial robots • Improve Quality of Life • Run More Efficiently (Smart Cities) Telemedicine Remote diagnosis & operations • Compete for Companies & Jobs Automotive Driverless vehicles • Attract and Retain Citizens Aviation Drone delivery
5G: Convergence Between the Wireline and Wireless Providers Urban vs. Rural – Will less populated areas benefit from 5G? YES, but not without local efforts The Technologies of 5G With 4G LTE, the technology was all or nothing • High-band radio frequencies • (You either have it or you don’t) Massive MIMO (Multi-In Multi-Out) • Edge computing • 5G is a group of technologies which are NOT • Small cells • CO-DEPENDENT upon one another • Beamforming Radio convergence • T-Mobile announced last week it is holding back • • NOMA (non-orthogonal multiple access) a portion of it’s low-band spectrum for 5G SDN/NFV (Software Defined Network / • Network Function Virtualization) High-Speed, High-Capacity Fiber is a must for • Channel coding • full 5G deployment Operation in Unlicensed spectrum •
5G: Convergence Between the Wireline and Wireless Providers 800,000 The Numbers Are Staggering Expected U.S. It took over 3 decades for the wireless industry to deploy 300,000 Small Cell tower and rooftop sites. Deployments The number of small cells deployed is predicted to rapidly increase over 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. +550% increase In 2018 ~86,000 ~13,000 2017 2018 2026

5G: Convergence Between the Wireline and Wireless Providers 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. courtesy of
5G: Convergence Between the Wireline and Wireless Providers Existing Planned Approval Permit Request Deployments Process A small cell permit request kicks off an investigative process to determine viability, acceptability and conflict resolution Encroachment Permits for Equipment • Includes Utility Plan Review (UPR) for Power X • Review with agency stakeholders Ongoing permit to exist in ROW • Utility Plan Review for Fiber Optic Conduit X Review with agency stakeholders • Public Works reviews against City or other fiber needs • X Construction Permitting for eventual work in ROW Final Construction conflicts resolved by inspector •
5G: Convergence Between the Wireline and Wireless Providers Accurate, up-to-date mapping is essential for Pre-processing and ROW Space Management S T S E U Q E R T I M R E P • Maintain city aesthetics R E B I F • 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
