New Towers and Small Cells Added
De Pere, WI (August 18, 2023) – Wireless usage continues to climb driving the need for expanded wireless networks. Cellcom, a local carrier, has again significantly invested in its network in De Pere and Ledgeview to deliver strong wireless service to area residents and visitors. Two new cell sites were activated, along with two small cells to help address the increase in wireless use and further enhance the overall wireless experience.
“As demand for cell service continues to increase, particularly data, these new cell sites and small cells move users off high-traffic sites, which helps improve everyone’s experience delivering faster speeds, more connections at one time and additional coverage.,” said Rick Brooks, CTO and VP of Engineering for Cellcom. “This extra capacity is particularly beneficial during high-traffic events. The improvements result in a better wireless experience even during these busy times in the community and on our network.”
The activated new sites are located near Highway 43 and Pine Grove Rd. and on Heritage Rd. near Highway 32. Small cells are miniature, low-powered cell sites that can be placed in populated areas to further improve the wireless experience. Cellcom recently activated two small cells at busy areas along Heritage Rd.
“Small cells blend into their surroundings and help in busy commerce areas, near schools or by venues where large events are held,” said Brooks. “Despite their small size, they can take as long to plan and implement as a full-size cell site. Our teams are already planning ahead for enhancements in future years.”
