In thirty-four years since the birth of cell phones wireless communications a transformation of virtually every aspect of our civilization from the physical assimilation of cell sites into the landscape to a convergence of multiple technologies and services into our phones. Technology has revolutionized the cell phone into a smartphone. Phones can now be used to send and receive electronic mail, take and transmit color photographs and live video, watch movies and live sports, manage time, browse the internet, engage in remote-control, operate as a flashlight, compass, alarm clock, stopwatch, automated bank teller, calendar and, occasionally a telephone. Millions of applications have been developed to take advantage of the computing and communications power of smartphones throughout the world. Now, our culture is on the precipice of an unprecedented explosion in the demand for wireless system capacity. 5G (5th generation) wireless is expected to dramatically increase the number of commercial mobile base stations in the U.S. and decrease the size of many 5G antenna installations and the need for associated equipment near the antennas, resulting from massive utilization of fiber optic transport systems to remotely connect with network facilities. As a result, rules, and regulations for siting wireless facilities are experiencing a state-of-transition.
