During Phase 1 of the program, wireless service providers will be required to submit a Small Cell Phase 1 Permit Application for the placement and operation of small cell infrastructure within the City of Providence.
The City will issue a permit for up to 15 approved attachment locations per provider during Phase 1 of the program, from May 24, 2019 until the implementation of Phase 2.
Following the establishment of standards for further implementation in Phase 2, small cell infrastructure installed during Phase 1 may remain if those placements are consistent with new implementation standards.
