Our plan is to upgrade Denver's existing wireless infrastructure by deploying a small cell network of approximately 815 low-powered antennas called "nodes" that sit close to the ground and are connected by fiber optic cable which handle large amounts of data at high speeds. Looking ahead, these nodes can pave the way for next-generation networks such as 5G, which promise to turn innovations including autonomous vehicles and citywide data sharing into reality.

Why Denver needs more wireless infrastructure.

With massive new economic development, a booming real estate market, and its new smart city initiative, Denver fits the profile of one of America’s “cities of tomorrow.” The region’s residential population is among the fastest growing in the nation. Industries such as aerospace, bioscience, telecommunications, energy and IT are shaping Denver’s business landscape, making it a magnet for skilled workers. This new economic boom, beautiful mountains and exciting entertainment have helped Denver set a new tourism record in 2016, welcoming 31.5 million total visitors. 

It’s no secret that the demand for mobile connectivity is growing exponentially in Denver, especially when it comes to public safety—today, 80 percent of 911 calls to police, firefighters and other first responders are initiated on mobile phones. Small cell solutions, or “small cells,” are a key component of upgrading the city’s mobile broadband coverage and wireless capacity. Small cells are often used to complement existing wireless infrastructure, such as towers, to add much-needed capacity in highly populated areas.

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 Denver’s character intact.
