Proposal

The applicant is proposing to install nine small wireless facility nodes within the public right-of-way at various locations throughout the city. The poles conceal cellular components and include integrated street lights within stand-alone utility poles, creating a grid of smaller scale antennas distributed throughout the city to supplement existing wireless communications networks.

From the Letter of Intent

Crown Castle seeks to place a small wireless facilities network in Miami Beach consisting of fiber optic cable (underground) and nodes (utility poles containing telecommunications equipment) within the right of way. The network will enhance capacity for a wireless carrier experiencing significant capacity issues in Miami Beach.

  • Installation of underground fiber optic cable
  • Installation of small wireless facility nodes on utility poles
  • Installation of stealth nodes functioning as both street light poles and telecommunications poles
  • Installation of small wireless facilities on existing FPL utility poles where no viable streetlight pole exists
  • Installation of electric meter pedestals within proximity of existing utility poles
