That's why we’re upgrading equipment across our existing small cell network—making sure Lynn has the infrastructure it needs to handle increasing data demand—providing faster, more reliable connectivity for everyone.
Why Lynn needs more wireless infrastructure.
Just 10 miles north of Boston, Lynn is a gem on the north shore. It seamlessly merges historical significance with modern vibrancy. Renowned for its rich heritage, like providing boots for George Washington's army and pioneering the nation’s first jet engine, Lynn's past is as innovative as its present. The city prides itself on its scenic beauty—from the serene Lynn Woods Reservation to its picturesque coastal beaches of Nahant, King's Beach and the Lynn Shore Reservation—offering locals and visitors a tranquil escape.
As the city continues to grow, enhancing its wireless infrastructure is crucial for bolstering its growth, especially in the sectors of healthcare and education. It’s also a critical component of Lynn’s growing economy, making it a priority to help ensure both residents and visitors have access to reliable connectivity.
With 80% of 911 calls in many areas being placed from a mobile device, a reliable network is also critical in providing access to police officers, firefighters and first responders. Small cell solutions, or “small cells,” are a key component to upgrading and enhancing Lynn’s existing wireless infrastructure by adding much-needed capacity—and paving the way for next generation networks.

Where we're updating small cells.
Small cells often are installed in the right of way, often on infrastructure like street signs, utility poles and streetlights. You may have walked by them without noticing. Working in partnership with city staff, we plan to enable improved wireless provider service while keeping Lynn's character intact.

Our commitment to FCC regulations on health and safety.
Small cells communicate wirelessly with radio waves. The consensus of nearly seven decades of research by many of the top scientific and health communities, including the FDA, is that emissions at the levels allowed by FCC regulations are safe for communities. This chart shows how emission levels from small cells compare to other common radio frequencies (RF)—all many times below what the FCC considers safe.
