Look beyond Orlando’s world-renowned theme parks and vacation destinations, and you’ll see a thriving metropolis of nearly 2.4 million people. Its dynamic and diversified economy has expanded enormously to include industry sectors such as IT, aviation, aerospace, film and TV production, biotechnology and manufacturing. From a lifestyle perspective, Orlando is equally diverse. Downtown, you’ll find the epicenter of the city’s incredibly colorful cultural and arts community, while parks, farmlands, canopies of oak trees and lakefront vistas make Orlando endlessly scenic and inviting to residents and visitors alike. 

Orlando’s wireless infrastructure must keep pace with the exponentially growing demand for mobile data among people, communities, and businesses. In fact, it’s currently being pushed to its limit. The implications for public safety are a particular concern, because 80 percent of emergency calls to police, firefighters and other first responders are initiated on mobile devices. Small cell solutions, or “small cells,” can boost the performance of cell towers and other wireless infrastructure, adding coverage and capacity across the entire Orlando area.

Discover more about small cells and the benefits they'll bring to your community.

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 Orlando’s character intact.
