Cell service in American Fork Canyon will be a reality by 2020
Crown Castle is partnering with the Utah Department of Transportation, the U.S. Forest Service and the National Parks Service to extend fiber optics from the base of American Fork Canyon in Utah to Tibble Fork. The fiber optic network would provide capabilities for technology like traffic cameras and cellphone service. While the 5G technology Crown Castle will provide will allow the company to partner with cellphone carriers to provide cell coverage, the coverage will primarily be along the roadway.
