Expanding Wireless Capacity

Network densification is essential for wireless operators to expand capacity and meet the increasing demand for data. Wireless operators are now adding C-band, mmWave, and other capacity to existing wireless coverage to support both fixed wireless access and mobile users. This is being accomplished by modifying existing 4G small cells and introducing new, high-powered 5G solutions such as “mid cells,” “lite sites,” and “mini macros.”

As the largest private pole owner in the U.S., Tilson Infrastructure is at the forefront of these deployments, leveraging its expertise in Right-of-Way access to streamline expansion efforts. Since 2019, we have collaborated with wireless operators to provide robust telecommunications infrastructure, aligning with RF coverage and capacity goals. With extensive experience working with municipalities across 49 states, we are uniquely positioned to deploy tailored RF solutions—at the right height and in the optimal location—to maximize network efficiency.

Recent deployments demonstrate that 1-3 high-powered small cells can rival traditional macro towers in effectiveness while offering lower costs and reduced visual impact. As macro tower siting becomes increasingly challenging, Tilson Infrastructure employs innovative cabinet and vaulting solutions within the right-of-way. Existing stealth and integrated poles are also modified to uphold aesthetic and engineering standards while maintaining cost efficiency.

Tilson Infrastructure partners with fiber wholesalers, carriers, cable companies, and fiber-to-the-home providers to identify cost-effective fronthaul solutions at the curb. The vertical infrastructure can be packaged with existing fiber to provide a turnkey solution. This means wireless operators don’t have to spend funds on new fiber buildouts, thus reducing overall budgets for sites on air.

Tilson Infrastructure prioritizes community-friendly, cost-effective network densification. Our small cell solutions ensure reliable connectivity for both everyday communication and emergency services. Each site is monitored 24/7, 365 days a year, by our Network Operations Center, ensuring consistent and dependable service when it’s needed most.

As the wireless industry matures, future growth will be concentrated in areas that are often costly to serve. Recognizing that no two wireless operators’ needs are the same, Tilson Infrastructure offers flexible leasing models tailored to unique circumstances. With a focus on the fastest-growing sectors of the economy, we empower wireless operators to expand strategically while optimizing costs.
