CTIA, the wireless industry association, today presented Gilbert, AZ Mayor Jenn Daniels with its 5G Wireless Champion Award, honoring her focus on infrastructure modernization that will bring new investment to the Gilbert community.
The 5G Wireless Champion Award recognizes Mayor Daniels’ leadership in making Gilbert the first community in Arizona to streamline the ability of wireless companies to deploy small cells – next-generation 5G wireless infrastructure – in accordance with Arizona House Bill 2365.
The reforms accelerate the ability of wireless providers to install small cells by standardizing fees, clarifying the use of public rights-of-way for deployments, and setting timelines for the review of applications. As a result, wireless providers can more quickly add capacity to wireless networks to meet growing demand for mobile broadband, while laying the groundwork for 5G networks.
