Small Cell Wireless Equipment

During the 2017 legislative session, a provision to allow small cell wireless equipment to be placed on city-owned infrastructure and in the right of way was passed. 

Small cell wireless equipment is identified as low-powered cellular radio access that operates within a short range.

This provision set several timelines, guidelines and deadlines on cities. Cities are required to update ordinances and specify an application process for obtaining small cell wireless permits that meets deadlines as set by State Statute.
