A report by the Pasadena Department of Public Works highlighted the 5G small cell technology that is "sweeping through Pasadena." The report said that, "Forty-three sites have been installed City-wide already, with 50 more applications now under process." Experts say "the revolution could see as many as 60 5G cell sites per square city mile accompanied by eight miles of underground fiber optics per square city mile" for each carrier. While the Public Works Department "is set to recommend amendments to the Pasadena Municipal Code, particularly Chapter 12.22," which regulates the setting up of wireless sites in the public right-of-way, an agenda report by the Public Works Department said the proposed amendments "should make the City compliant with federal and state regulations," including the September 30 order from the Federal Communications Commission "restricting local government authority over the deployment of small cell facilities within the public right-of-way."
