Meet the Governor's 5G Council

We needed a strong dedicated team to carry the 5G fast-track bill to the finish line. 

But the work didn't end there. These mission-focused leaders are paving the way to a brighter Connecticut that's more empowered, more resourceful, more connected.

 

* The 5G Council was created through the passage of House Bill No. 7152 in an effort to deploy a streamlined process for the build-out of a statewide 5G wireless network.
* The Council has been tasked with adopting guidelines for wireless carriers seeking to build on state owned property, concerning the safe placement of personal wireless service facilities and small wireless facilities, the protection of open space land when reviewing for use of state real properties and extensions of time for a determination by the council.
* Additionally, the Council seeks to publish a comprehensive policy guidance and application, which will provide direction for all cities and towns receiving wireless network development requests.
