AS WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY EXPANDS …

5G will replace the current wireless-communications matrix. It’s important to be prepared before the 5G wave reaches your community, because it’s a matter of when and not if.

Are you aware that a pre-5G wireless tower footprint can handle up to 6,500 wireless devices simultaneously? That’s impressive.

A 5G wireless footprint of similar size can handle up to 1,000,000 wireless devices simultaneously.

That’s not a misprint—but there is a catch. The range of any individual 5G wireless facility is approximately 1,000 feet, so robust and reliable coverage in your jurisdiction will require one at virtually every major intersection.

Fortunately, 5G wireless facilities can be affixed to existing structures, including poles, buildings, and billboards. And one 5G wireless permit application can accommodate up to twenty-five 5G wireless facilities.

One study estimates that there will be 2.8 billion connected 5G devices worldwide by 2025, with up to 50 times the speed and performance of 4G. The same study also adjusted its projection of 5G users by the end of 2020 from 13 million to 190 million. That’s how fast 5G is growing.

So—who is responsible for managing the impact to your community of increased 5G wireless coverage, which is already rolling out across the United States?

The answer: the employees of local jurisdictions. The people who manage, regulate, or otherwise influence planning and zoning for cities, towns, villages, counties, state land departments, and even forest services that have a common interest to help communities benefit by closing wireless-coverage gaps, which will add growth capacity.
