Lightower Bridges Critical Wireless Coverage Gap in Milton, MA
BOXBOROUGH, MA—November 20, 2007— Lightower LLC, a leading provider of wireless infrastructure, fiber networks, and wireless services, has installed a new multi-carrier distributed antenna system (DAS), bridging a long-standing coverage gap along the heavily trafficked route 28 in Milton, MA.
“Public safety has been an ongoing concern in this area, as the coverage hole lies between state highway 128/I-95 and the Milton Hospital,” said Doug Wiest, CEO of Lightower. “Thanks to the collaborative efforts of town officials in Milton, we installed poles for our distributed antenna system (DAS), delivering a high performance solution for immediate access to wireless carriers in the area while reducing antenna proliferation in the community.”
“The stretch of roadway through Milton has been an ongoing concern for all of us,” said John Michael Shields, Milton Board of Selectmen. “Lightower’s DAS solution provided us with a cost-effective, non-intrusive, and timely solution for our community. Their expertise and willingness to listen to our concerns then deliver a non-tower solution made them an ideal partner in this effort.”
