A small cell tower enables 5G from atop a street light at a Boise intersection. The black cylinder is one of dozens of designs wireless telecommunication providers have built in order to have their small cell technology more accessible to cities as 5G grows. The Planning and Zoning Commission is considering an ordinance to regulate the use of such devices, recognizing that the technology will one day come to the city, whether residents want it or not. “Doing nothing does not prohibit these,” planer Rand Wichman said. “Doing nothing results in us not having any control over them."
