AT&T is requesting Port Arthur city officials begin permitting small cell nodes in the city as an upgrade to boost the city’s wireless network capacity during the coronavirus crisis.
The small cells cover a radius of 250 to 1,000 feet and can be readily deployed to specific locations.
Jon McClellan, director of external and legislative affairs for AT&T Texas, said AT&T is asking the city to permit a small cell permit first, rather than pass a city ordinance through a lengthy process. Under state law, McClellan said, the city is required to approve small cell permits in a timely manner.
“There are no direct costs to the city of Port Arthur for the installation of the small cell node, and the city will generate revenue on permitting fees and yearly lease of the right of way computer science vs computer engineering salary,” McClellan said. “Once the installation is approved, we will develop a timeline for the project with the understanding that timelines for completion vary and are largely dependent upon permitting, weather and other similar variables.”
Installation consists of placing small radio equipment and antennas on structures to help transmit data to and from a wireless device. Small radio equipment and antennas are placed on structures such as poles, streetlights and buildings and help to transmit data between wireless devices.
