Why Los Angeles needs more wireless infrastructure.
The City of Los Angeles is home to a dynamic and growing business culture. Its vibrant and thriving commercial sector is comprised of industries from professional and business services, and direct international trade and entertainment to wholesale trade and logistics. Additionally, Los Angeles County is top-ranked nationwide in manufacturing. Local industries include apparel, computer and electronic components, transportation equipment, fabricated metal and food. Fueled by trade with the Pacific Rim, Los Angeles and Long Beach are the busiest container ports in the nation. And, as home to the film, television and recording industries, as well as important cultural facilities, the city serves as a principal global cultural center.
Thriving industry and culture in Los Angeles demand fast, reliable wireless connectivity. Beyond keeping people connected and helping ensure that business flourishes, wireless is critical to public safety—80 percent of all 911 emergency calls to police, firefighters and other first responders are made on mobile devices. Small cells are key to upgrading and enhancing the city’s wireless coverage and capacity.

Where we're installing small cells.
Since small cells often are inconspicuously installed on right of way infrastructure like street signs, utility poles and streetlights, they blend into their surroundings and preserve the aesthetics of their environment. Working in partnership with city staff, we plan to enable improved wireless carrier service while keeping Los Angeles’ character intact.
