This photo from Verizon Wireless shows small cells installed on a pole in Indianapolis. The Hall County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to approve an ordinance that would regulate small cell technology as more areas of the county gain access to broadband or 5G technology.
A proposed county ordinance would serve as guidance for tech companies as they deploy new technology in the area, mirroring a statewide effort to bring broadband access to more rural areas.The proposed rules, up for a vote from the Hall County Board of Commissioners on July 25, would regulate the sizes and fees for poles and the technology such as antennas that may be moving in.
