Since MSA was founded nearly 20 years ago, occasionally requests come in from private sector and not-for-profit organizations and groups concerning telecommunications issues. We’ve helped establish a computer center at a public housing complex, assisted several public access entities with obtaining additional funding to expand operations, and worked with condominium associations to upgrade their communications systems and wiring to enable high-speed Internet access. As the old saying goes, “It’s all good.”
Lately, wireless projects involving private sector and not-for-profit organizations have been a source of activity for MSA. It’s not surprising. Those rapidly-growing numbers of tablet and smartphone users have created a monster need for bandwidth. Wireless companies are furiously changing out cell sites and are trying to add new ones in order to get the bandwidth to users with a high quality of service.
MSA may be able to help.
Several organizations have asked MSA to help them market sites that can hold antenna arrays and base station equipment. These sites include an unoccupied monopole tower, water tanks more than 100 feet high, and even a tall church steeple.
Our web site will feature these potential cell sites and we will be promoting them on social media, such as Linked In. We’ll go straight to the carriers and their representatives as well. MSA believes that bandwidth is the fuel that will power the telecom boom of the 21st century, and that cell sites are critical in making sure that bandwidth can get to where communications demands need to be met.
We’re here to pitch in, and whether your organization is public, private, or not-for-profit, we’ll find a way to work with you in helping to publicize your potential cell sites.
