The Montgomery County Council on Tuesday approved a change aimed at increasing 5G access by allowing the installation of small cell antennas countywide.
Seven council members voted for the zoning text change Tom Hucker, Gabe Albornoz, Hans Riemer, Nancy Navarro, Evan Glass, Andrew Friedson and Craig Rice.
Council Members Will Jawando and Sidney Katz were opposed.
The zoning text amendment approved Tuesday will allow 5G small cell antennas and equipment in residential areas countywide, with limits on where they may be.
