UScellular Continues Network Capacity Expansion

UScellular continues network expansion in different parts of its 21 state operating territory, in mostly rural areas. Through a novel master streetlight attachment agreement signed with the Town of Rumford (ME), UScellular has completed its deployment of the Ericsson Street Radio 4402, a small cell platform created in collaboration with Ubicquia. This approach leverages existing streetlight infrastructure to enhance 4G and 5G connectivity at a fraction of the cost and time of traditional small cell solutions. With Street Radio 4402 installations that the company says can be completed in a matter of minutes, UScellular has boosted outdoor and indoor coverage in Rumford in a cost-effective manner. On another front, UScellular will build three new cell towers with funding support from Grayson County (VA) to enhance mobile wireless connectivity and public safety. The towers will bring 5G wireless service to underserved areas in the western most part of the county and will be completed by mid-2026.
