5G wireless is coming — and the battle has already begun over where to allow the antennas in Maryland
The Baltimore Sun reported on local government battles with telecom companies over the placement of small cell technology throughout cities. The article mentions that Crown Castle, which has installed small cell facilities on behalf of wireless carriers in Baltimore, says they want to partner with local governments to solve the dispute over small cell placement. Additionally, the article mentions that Crown Castle "has worked with city administrators, including historic preservation officials in some neighborhoods, to design unobtrusive structures, generally on replacement light poles."
