b"After last week's podcast on Lincoln and its small cell policy, we wanted to offer a longer discussion about small cell wireless technology and the policy around it. Crown Castle is a firm focused on enabling wireless solutions and Acquisitions Manager in Corporate Development Strategy Duffy Newman joins us for episode 239 of the Community Broadband Bits podcast.We explore what small cells are and how important they are to the future of improved wireless access. These devices are usually connected by fiber and allow an existing wireless service to improve bandwidth and reliability. Duffy offers the example of Philadelphia during the Pope's visit as a particularly good example of small cells in action.\\xa0We also talk about local governments and the role they can play in enabling this technology and why it is important to have each node connected by fiber.\\xa0Read the transcript of the show here.We want your feedback and suggestions for the show-please\\xa0e-mail us\\xa0or leave a comment below.This show is 27 minutes long and can be played on this page or\\xa0via iTunes\\xa0or via the tool of your choice\\xa0using this feed.You can\\xa0download this mp3 file directly from here.
