Wireless tech is getting an 'unprecedented' update — and Dallas is getting the VIP treatment
Dallas, TX, is "getting a front-row seat for the future." The city was selected by AT&T, along with a dozen cities, to access 5G, which "will arguably be the biggest upgrade ever in the generations of networks." A number of companies are investing in Dallas as part of this transition, including Crown Castle, "which provides wireless infrastructure, has been installing small-cell sites for the new technology with an investment of close to $45 million, according to Mandy Derr, government relations manager for the company’s central region. The company, which also is investing in sites in many other large cities, is putting in 200-plus small cell sites, Derr said, declining to disclose the carriers part of the project in Dallas."
