County Council members on Tuesday made more changes to a proposal that would help pave the way for 5G service to expand in Montgomery County.
The zoning text amendment sets limits on where and how 5G small cell antennas and equipment can be placed in residential areas countywide.
The smaller equipment used for 5G networks can be placed closer together. That creates a more robust, faster network, versus 4G towers, which often stretch hundreds of feet into the air and are more spaced out.
The small cell antennas for 5G can also be placed on existing utility poles or similar structures. Overall, 5G provides greater speeds and data transfer than 4G technology.

County Executive Marc Elrich wants the County Council to pause its deliberations on a zoning text amendment that would establish guidelines for 5G small cell antennas, in order to allow a task force to further study the issue.
Elrich’s office sent a memo to council members Tuesday about the proposal, outlining multiple concerns including how the public hearing process would occur for residents who object to the small cell antennas in their neighborhoods.
5G networks require smaller equipment overall and can be placed closer together to create a more robust, faster network, versus 4G towers, which often stretch hundreds of feet into the air and are more spaced out.
