What is a small cell?

When you drive on a highway, you likely pass cell towers—they've become part of the everyday landscape. What you may not notice are small cells.

Traditional towers cover large areas, but in busy places like downtowns, neighborhoods, and near venues, the signal can get strained or blocked by buildings. That's where small cells come in.

Small cells are compact, discrete antennas often mounted on streetlights or utility poles. Most people don't even notice them. By placing small cells throughout communities, we help fill coverage gaps and add capacity where people live, work, and gather.

Why small cells matter

Reliability: More targeted coverage in hard-to-reach areas minimizes dead spots and makes service more reliable.

Innovation: Increased speeds and capacity ensure that people and businesses get the most from their wireless devices and can access the latest technologies.

Safety: Stronger coverage and capacity keeps first responders connected to critical information and increases the availability of 911 services.

How we work in your community

As wireless demand grows, we're expanding small cell networks across every major US market. With our structured process, we carefully plan and construct each installation to balance the needs of communities, municipalities, and wireless carriers, enabling the vital connectivity that not only meets current network needs but is ready for future technologies and growth.

FAQs

As people use wireless devices for more data-intensive tasks like streaming video, social media, gaming and more, network congestion is becoming an issue throughout the country. It’s like cars trying to crowd onto a busy interstate. Adding new small cells is the equivalent of adding new lanes—it’s how we add capacity, and it gives all that extra data a place to go.
