Why Washington County needs more wireless infrastructure.
While maintaining its corporate and agricultural foundation, Washington County has seen a significant population increase and an expanding tourism economy. As Washington County grows, so too do its wireless needs. Small cell solutions bring much-needed capacity, enabling faster downloads, clearer videos and higher functionality of all connected devices.
Wireless infrastructure is critical to address the educational needs of residents, data-sharing needs of businesses and connectivity needs of everyone. Points of interest, such as the Southpointe business park, Meadows Casino and Racetrack and destination outlet shopping centers experience high wireless connectivity demands and require more capacity. And at a time when, in many areas, 80 percent of 911 calls are made from a mobile device, connectivity is also a matter of public safety. Small cell solutions work in conjunction with fiber and towers to improve wireless coverage and increase network capacity.

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