What is a Smartpole? |
| |
|
A Smartpole is stealth wireless infrastructure using lightpoles or treepoles blended with the surrounding environment. |
|
|
Why should our public facility have a wireless tower? |
| |
|
Smartpoles from Milestone Communications are a source of revenue for local schools and government organizations, earning up to $50,000 per year for each tower. Milestone Communications manages the entire process. Your organization assists with site placement, and then collects a monthly revenue share, which is sustainable and grows over time. |
|
|
What is the overall visual impact? |
| |
|
Using the best practices of land planning, Smartpoles are placed so that they blend in with the landscape and do not have a negative impact on your public facility. The stealth wireless tower can replace existing athletic field lightpoles, or be installed as stealth treepole that blends into the tree line. Equipment is stored in shelters designed to fade into the background. |
|
|
What other advantages does a Smartpole offer? |
| |
|
In addition to the shared revenue, it can provide high-speed Internet access for your public facility. It also helps the surrounding community by providing a needed transmission relay to enable phones and other wireless devices to function better. A pilot program is now available to help provide free Internet for qualified students within the poles designated radius. To learn more about SmartCanopy click here. |

|
Does the public facility pay anything for these services? |
| |
|
Nothing. Milestone Communications manages the entire process from zoning, permitting, building, leasing, and professionally managing the tower at no cost. The organization receives a one-time payment of $25,000 at start of construction, followed by a monthly check once the stealth pole is leased. |

|
How does this program help with conservation? |
| |
|
Utility companies are rolling out programs to reduce consumption using wireless infrastructure. Smart meters are being installed in homes and businesses to reduce consumption at times when there is decreased usage. This requires more demand for wireless infrastructure.

|
Why is this a good idea now? |
| |
|
We are currently in a wireless revolution. The expansion of 3G and 4G wireless devices has created a dramatic increase in demand for service. Consumers want it in their homes, businesses need it wherever they are working, and carriers need to provide the service. We have never seen wireless growth like this before. |
