Jon Baars, Director-Sales & Marketing at Asentria discusses with John Celentano, Inside Towers Business Editor, the business of site monitoring and how capturing and displaying large volumes of information helps to manage networks efficiently and cost-effectively.

Tower Talks with Inside Towers - #130 - Navigating the Municipal Zoning and Permitting Process
play

05/30/22 • 25 min

Wireless carriers are in high gear with their 5G deployments at towers, small cells, and distributed antenna systems. Physical construction of these sites only comes after carriers are granted zoning licenses and permits from the local jurisdictions that must review and approve carrier applications for site location and design. That process must follow FCC rules for the timing of these approvals but the municipalities, and their citizens, want a greater say in what sites are proposed and where they will be located.

John Celentano, Inside Towers Business Editor discusses telecommunications land use requirements and some of the challenges in meeting them with Greg Rapisarda, Partner at Saul Ewing Arnstein & Lehr and Chair of the law firm’s Telecommunications practice, and a board member of the Maryland-DC Wireless Association.

Often when we hear mention of distributed antenna systems or small cells, the main components that come to mind are radios and antennas.

In fact, a DAS is a complex system of active and passive RF components that work together in a highly engineered manner.

A faulty component design or improper installation of any part of the RF path can result in either poor performance or worst case, failure.

Jeff Hall, General Manager at Wireless Supply talks with John Celentano, Inside Towers Business Editor about the types and importance of passive RF components used in indoor and outdoor, commercial and public safety DAS applications.
