We’ve guessed that communities with fiber would be 5G-ready earlier than others, and this newest research shows that to be the case. Over one-third of surveyed communities reported small cell activity — installation is taking place in 44% of communities and under consideration in another 26% — and fiber deployment is highly correlated with this activity. The results are stark: where there is no existing fiber, only 33% of communities reported small cell activity, versus 60% in cities with fiber to the residence.
