Explore how the integration of small cell technology is improving network coverage, boosting data speeds, and enabling new applications in the community of Rumford, Maine and beyond.

In 2023, the Town of Rumford, Maine, entered into a Master Streetlight Attachment Agreement with Ubicquia. This agreement allows UScellular to transform streetlights into small cell sites in under 15 minutes without disrupting their primary function.

“Smart cities are built on connectivity, and by granting streetlight attachment rights, we enable UScellular to strengthen network coverage for our citizens without cluttering the cityscape,” said Economic Development Director George O’Keefe of the Town of Rumford. “We also generate revenue from existing infrastructure. It is a win-win.”

“This project represents a significant milestone as we continuously strive to identify the most efficient ways to enhance wireless connectivity in the communities we serve,” said Mike Irizarry, UScellular EVP and CTO. “Doubling network capacity in such a short timeframe and in a cost-effective manner demonstrates the transformative potential of this technology.”
