Sioux Falls "will be one of the first in cities South Dakota – and possibly among the first in the nation – to roll out 5G technology." Verizon Wireless has been given the go-ahead from city council to install "small cell technology" on poles and parks around the city. Sioux Falls Mayor Paul TenHaken said that, "Bringing 5G technology to Sioux Falls is going to be very transformative for economic development and workforce. For bringing new technology, a lot of things rely on that sort of connectivity."
