THE WIRELESS INDUSTRY IS CRUCIAL

TO THE NEW U.S. ECONOMY

WIRELESS NETWORK TRAFFIC

MOBILE DATA TRAFFIC...

WILL CONTINUE TO SURGE

By 2020:

Mobile data will be

6X 2015’s record levels.

Mobile connections will

increase 30%.

60 trillion MBs of data will

pass over wireless networks.

IoT devices will be more

than twice the number of

people on earth.

4G MADE OUR NETWORKS FASTER AND OUR LIVES EASIER.

5G WILL BE A MASSIVE LEAP.

5G IS THE ANSWERTO OUR GROWING DATA NEEDS

EVEN MORE,

5G WILL MAKE LIFE SAFER

5G could generate

$1.8T for the

economy thanks to

wireless-enabled smart

grids.

Wireless connectivity

will save lives and

$305B per year

in health costs.

5G can help save

lives. A 60 second

improvement in first

responder response

time translates to a

reduction of 8% in

mortality.

Wireless-powered self-

driving cars could save

over 20,000 lives, and

nearly $450B, each

year.

5G WILLREVOLUTIONIZE OUR ECONOMY

5G will directly

contribute $500 billion

to U.S. economy.

5G will increase productivity

across industries: $2.7 trillion

to economy by 2030.

U.S. WIRELESS COMPANIES

ARE ALREADY INVESTING IN 5GU.S. CITIES WITH 5G TRIALS/INNOVATION

CENTERS.

U.S. WIRELESS COMPANIES NEED

A FRAMEWORK FOR THE FUTURE

The Wireless Industry

will invest

billion to build 5G

networks.

THE WIRELESS INDUSTRYNEEDS:

More spectrum to supportconsumer

demand and new applications

More infrastructure to supportdenser

networks and new smallerantennas

Investment and innovation friendly

broadband regulation to incent next-

generation services and networks

WHERE DO WE START?

A FUNDAMENTAL SHIFT TO SMALL CELLSTHE WIRELESS INDUSTRY HAS CONSTRUCTED

MORE THAN 150,000 CELL TOWERS ACROSS THE

COUNTRY.

BUT...The next-generation wireless

will require the wireless

industry to deploy hundreds

of thousands more small cells.

These new cells can be

placed on existing common

structures like street lights

and utility poles.

EXPAND INVESTMENT

IN WIRELESS INFRASTRUCTUREWE NEED STREAMLINED LOCAL APPROVAL PROCESSES TO BRING

THESE UPGRADES TO COMMUNITIES ACROSS AMERICA.

Some U.S. localities are treating small cells

like large towers.

SOLUTION:

Improved access to municipal

facilities and rights of way.

Fair rates and fees for less-intrusive 5G

deployments.

Streamlined siting timelines and

standards to reduce local zoning

barriers.
