THE QUESTION IS NOW: WHAT’S GOING TO BE ON A UTILITY POLE?
FCC Order issued August 3, 2018:
“ Today, we continue our efforts to promote broadband deployment by speeding up the process and reducing the costs of attaching new facilities to utility poles. Now, more than ever, access to this vital infrastructure must be swift, predictable, safe, and affordable, so that broadband providers can continue to enter new markets and deploy facilities that support high-speed broadband. Pole access also is essential to the race for 5G because mobile and fixed wireless providers are increasingly deploying innovative small cells on poles and because these wireless services depend on wireline backhaul. Indeed, an estimated 100,000 to 150,000 small cells will be constructed by the end of 2018, and these numbers are projected to reach 455,000 by 2020 and 800,000 by 2026.”
• Urban area that uses different types of electronic data collection sensors to supply information which is used to manage assets and resources efficiently.
• This includes data collected from citizens, devices, and assets that is processed and analyzed to monitor and manage traffic and transportation systems, power plants, water supply networks, waste management, law enforcement, information systems, schools, libraries, hospitals, and other community services.
• The smart city concept integrates information and communication technology, and various physical devices connected to the network to optimize the efficiency of city operations and services and connect to citizens. Smart city technology allows city officials to interact directly with both community and city infrastructure and to monitor what is happening in the city and how the city is evolving.
SMART CITIES….. DRIVING A CONNECTED WORLD
• Advanced technique to monitor energy consumption on the consumer side. Distinct as it can accurately show how much energy is being consumed as well as its cost in near real-time
• Meters are considered ‘smart’ because of various integrated technologies to allow for calculations, display, storage and communication with a central server.
• Data recordings are made every hour (or more frequently) and the data is sent to the utility company for constant monitoring.
• This two-way communication between the meter and the central system run by the service provider is done via cellular telecommunication technologies and makes remote reporting and problem solving easier
ADVANCED METERING INFRASTRUCTURE (AMI) AKA SMART METER
Cisco CGR to be deployed on Wood pole or Streetlight pole has the following antennas:
1. Remote 900 MHz Antenna to communicate with the meters
2. Integrated 4G/LTE Antennas to communicate with cellular network.
3. Wi-Fi antenna (can be disabled)
Cisco CGR - Antennas
CGR - RF Antennas: 900MHz remote mounted omni antenna:• Provides RF link to battery powered end points meters
• FCC Report on RF Exposure indicates that maximum measure exposure (power density) is 0.341 mW/cm2* during transmission (100% duty cycle).
• This can be compared to the FCC’s limit of 0.61 mW/cm2 (~ 56% of the limit). Note: Used General Population/Uncontrolled FCC limit. Occupational/Controlled limits would be 5x this value.
• Note that This radio will have transmit duty cycle well below 10% (< 1%) which dramatically reduces the RF Exposure from this device.
CGR - RF Antennas - 4G/LTE Integrated Cellular Antennas: • Provides RF link to cellular network
• RF Exposure Report indicates that maximum measure exposure (power density) is 0.101 mW/cm2* during transmission (100% duty cycle).
• This can be compared to the FCC’s limit of 1.0 mW/cm2 (less than ~10% of the limit). Note: Used General Population/Uncontrolled FCC limit. Occupational/Controlled limits would
be 5x this value.
• Note that This radio will have transmit duty cycle well below 10% (< 1%) which dramatically reduces the RF Exposure from this device.

• High Data Speeds • 10-100X faster
• Responsiveness of Network• 4G requires 200ms (average)• 5G will be less than 1ms
• Massive capacity
• Multipurpose network • Embedding sensors in to the road versus Autonomous Vehicles
• In order to keep up with demand, providers must densify existing networks and deploy 5G
• Small Cells
.
5G is essential for next generation mobile experiences
31
What is a Small Cell?
• Small cells are wireless antennas, typically no more than six cubic feet in volume that can be placed on existing structures such as a streetlight, rooftop, utility pole, etc.
• Associated equipment, typically with a cumulative volume of less than 28 cubic feet, is also placed at the site to provide commercial power, equipment that process wireless signals and a connection to the small cell.
• Optical fiber connects to either nodes and carries data to and from communication hubs operated by wireless carriers

Access
• Access to the rights-of-way (ROW) can be impeded by high regulatory hurdles.
Costs
• Some localities are charging astronomical ROW fees and also hiring safety consultants who charge on a contingency fee basis, thus, incentivizing them to inflate findings.
Process
• In some localities, approval of a single small cell can take 18-24 months (can be longer than approval of a large macro tower).
• Applications considered on a per application basis –rather than consolidated –also slows down the process.
33
The Problem
•To realize this future, it is key that state and local policymakers help to remove barriers to efficient deployment of small cell wireless infrastructure. The following policy principles will expedite small cell deployment across the country:
•Access: Providers must have reasonable access to the public rights-of-way (ROW) so they can responsibly deploy small cells near consumers in urban areas, which helps to meet customer demands for faster data speeds, stronger in-building signals and an overall improved customer experience.
•Reasonable Costs and Fees: Today, ROW access and municipal pole attachment rights often come with exorbitant prices that curb investment in wireless infrastructure. Municipal pole attachment rates frequently exceed 100 times what the FCC has determined to be reasonable. Application fees, attachment fees and ROW access fees must be based on cities’ direct management costs, without discriminating against any technology.
•Streamlined Siting Processes: Cities should not treat small cells like tall cell towers. They must adopt streamlined approval processes with expedited timelines and objective standards. Applications should be “deemed approved” if no action is taken within the specified time. Providers should also be allowed to consolidate small cell requests, to minimize administrative impacts while improving efficiency.
