Situated on the banks of the Rio Grande and steeped in a rich heritage infused with many Mexican and native tribal influences, El Paso is one of the shining lights of the Southwest. Home to nearly 700,000 people, the city is thoroughly modern and sophisticated, yet retains its centuries-old grandeur. Its thriving economy is bolstered by industries as diverse as food, apparel, construction, electronics, healthcare—and of course, tourism. El Paso retains an irresistible pull for visitors seeking outdoor adventure, historical journeys and cultural enrichment. 

Wireless connectivity has become a common thread between El Paso and the world, yet with public demand for mobile data growing exponentially, it’s clear that the city’s current wireless infrastructure is simply not equipped to handle increasingly massive volume. An upgrade is essential for many reasons, especially public safety—today, 80 percent of emergency calls to police, firefighters and first responders originate from mobile devices. Small cell solutions, or “small cells,” are a key component of fast, reliable wireless service, and can complement existing wireless infrastructure to add much-needed coverage and capacity.
