The panel was led by Tim Downs, Executive Producer of Content for the WIA, and included John Caner, CEO of the Downtown Berkley Association, and Mark Hull, General Manager of Network Solutions at tech2, a leading Australian telecom services company.
Innovative Solutions to Small Cell Siting Challenges
As cities consider small cell siting options, innovative multi-use approaches become increasingly important. The Telebelly, Bigbelly’s multipurpose platform for hosting small cells, took center stage as a solution to address the various challenges faced in public spaces.
The Telebelly enables the efficient and non-intrusive deployment of wireless and cellular communication services by leveraging critical public space real estate in the delivery of core waste management services. Municipalities looking to deploy sustainable solutions, solve operational problems, and deliver meaningful value for citizens, visitors and businesses will see that multi-purpose infrastructure use can meet the needs of connectivity and government.

Success Story: Milwaukee Hosts Small cells with Bigbelly
Highlighted in the panel discussion is Bigbelly’s successful small cell deployment in the City of Milwaukee, in partnership with two major wireless carriers.

In other words: their complex technology needed to hide in plain sight.
