All the wireless carriers are in full 5G buildout mode. Most of that buildout, at least in the current stages, involve macrocells on towers and other support structures.

But every location is different and requires a tower that fits the available land, and yet supports the current and future equipment required to deliver wireless coverage from that site.

This means that different types of towers are needed in different situations.

Michael Pelletier, Vice President-Sales & Business Development at Arcosa Telecom Structures discusses with John Celentano, Inside Towers Business Editor the various tower designs that are available to address current and future macrocell site needs, and some novel solutions to overcome deployment challenges.

The use of mid-band spectrum in the 1-6 GHz range and specifically in the 3-4 GHz range, has been the focus among mobile network operators for their 5G buildouts. Mid-band spectrum offers an attractive balance of wide area coverage and high-speed connections needed for 5G.

Verizon and AT&T each spent a lot of money acquiring C-band spectrum and are already deploying A-block licenses in the 3.7-3.8 GHz range.

While C-band works well outdoors, like all cellular signals, it encounters propagation problems inside buildings. Since studies show that a high percentage of all cellular calls either originate or terminate inside buildings, that’s a problem.

Todd Fariss, Product Line Director, WilsonPro at Wilson Electronics talks to John Celentano, Inside Towers Business Editor about C-band in-building signal propagation challenges and how signal boosters address them.
