Wireless Network

Major cell phone companies (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint) are working to improve service for their customers in Anaheim. As part of these improvements, they are replacing some of the streetlight poles to allow installing their wireless equipment inside an enclosure at the top. These installations are referred to as Small Cell Sites. To streamline the process, APU has adopted a standard license agreement and wireless-ready streetlight poles shown under the following links:
