Leverage SBA Communications Towers to Benefit Wireless in Your Community

With more than 20,000 cell sites in our domestic portfolio, SBA can assist your municipality to accelerate collocation (the placing of wireless transmitting and receiving antennas on existing structures) on our owned towers.

GROWING DEMAND FOR WIRELESS

As the demand for wireless communications and devices continues to grow, municipalities recognize that their economic growth depends on a robust wireless infrastructure. Today, local government agencies are seeking cost-effective ways to provide coverage for the businesses, government services and individual homeowners in their communities who rely on wireless to improve their organizations and daily lives. Wireless devices are also an indispensable part of public safety and a key component of the E911 system that links emergency callers with the appropriate public resources.

With over 25 years of industry experience, SBA Communications offers municipalities options to maximize infrastructure assets currently hosting wireless antennas, thereby controlling costs and the growth of unnecessary new tower development in your community.

AN EXPERIENCED PARTNER WITH MULTI-TENANT TOWERS IN EVERY STATE

With decades of experience assisting municipalities and government agencies, SBA Communications is a first choice provider of wireless infrastructure solutions. We lease space on our multi-tenant towers and other communications facilities, such as rooftops, to a variety of wireless service providers under long-term lease contracts in all of the 50 states in the United States and across Canada, and Central and South America.

Our customer base includes all the leading national and regional wireless communications carriers, as well as local wireless customers. Our full-service approach to our customers’ wireless infrastructure needs is matched with an expansive portfolio of owned and managed sites that are highly desirable for all forms of communications including broadcast. Our sites provide excellent wireless coverage solutions to all municipalities: metro, suburban and rural.

COLLOCATION ON SBA TOWERS MEANS FASTER NETWORK BUILD OUT, FEWER TOWERS IN YOUR COMMUNITY

With SBA as your experienced collocation partner, your community can strengthen your municipal wireless infrastructure and save capital. Collocation with SBA helps to lessen site visibility and lower costs by preventing unnecessary site construction. The SBA cell site portfolio offers a wide variety of attractive collocation opportunities that enable service providers to quickly and efficiently improve the quality and reach of their coverage in your community.

Most importantly, as an independent tower owner and operator, SBA ensures equal access to all our towers sites, including large wireless providers, a host of smaller providers and various government agencies and first responders.

In addition to minimizing the need for new towers, collocation opportunities afford communities other benefits:

UPGRADING EXISTING TOWERS TO MEET INFRASTRUCTURE DEMANDS

With a growing portfolio of owned towers, an experienced SBA operations team provides for the maintenance, upkeep and repair of our towers and ground facilities. When necessary, the majority of our towers can be structurally upgraded or extended to meet the needs of new users and additional wireless traffic on the network. During this process, our area operations directors work closely with our outside engineering firm and internal leasing personnel if structural upgrades are needed to accommodate new equipment on an SBA tower.

YOUR TRUSTED PARTNER

Through a partnership with SBA, municipalities can benefit from a reduced number of towers in their community and have greater control over new site applications by ensuring potential new applicants are directed to existing SBA towers. Throughout the municipal consultation process, municipalities are sensitive to concerns from the public about tower proliferation, and collocation with SBA helps mitigate many of these concerns. By working closely with municipalities, SBA can bring forward tower solutions that meet the needs of both the community and cellular carriers.

All SBA new tower builds are designed and constructed to accommodate multiple carriers.

Coverage gaps are filled more quickly because collocation strategies are quicker to implement than new construction.

Collocation speeds wireless development, while creating the lowest possible impact on the environment, wildlife and community aesthetics.
