FCC Commissioner Carr to Visit Arizona for 5G Events with Mayor and State Lawmaker

On Sept 14, Federal Communications Commissioner Brendan Carr will visit AZ to hear from local leaders about the smart infrastructure policies they are putting in place to pave the way for next-gen connectivity and opportunity in communities across The Grand Canyon State. In Gilbert (AZ) Carr will meet with Mayor Jenn Daniels who has helped her community be one of the first in Arizona to streamline the deployment of small cells, which are the building blocks of 5G. Mayor Daniels’ reforms pick up on the ideas championed by AZ state Rep Jeff Weninger (R- AZ 17) in AZs small cell legislation.  Commissioner Carr and Mayor Daniels will host a press conference to discuss her approach to 5G as well as Carr’s proposed 5G Order, set to be voted on this month by the FCC, that will cut costs and streamline approval periods for small cells nationwide.
