Hollywood, California
Hollywood,
a famous district in the city of Los Angeles, is home to over 300,000 people.
It covers from Vermont Avenue on the east to just beyond Laurel Canyon Boulevard
on the west; the north to south boundary runs from about Mulholland Drive
in the Hollywood Hills of the Santa Monica Mountains and Griffith Park to
Melrose Avenue and from about Mulholland in the hills to Fountain Avenue.
The fame of Hollywood came from its identity with the movies and movie stars. The word "Hollywood", when spoken in any country on Earth, evokes worlds, even galaxies of illusions, came to be colloquially used to refer to the motion picture industry itself.

that are not always met by the Los Angeles government. The hills, valleys
and canyons that run up and down and across this district can cause cell
phone coverage to be poor.

- Residents object to adding cell towers for safety and aesthetic reasons.
NextG Solution
That
next phone call can be vitally important to a busy executive discussing
a business or movie deal while on the move through the Hollywood canyons.
One carrier's customers were demanding better coverage while other carriers
had already built expanded networks in the area. Because this operator needed
to level the playing field, they contracted with NextG Networks to install
a cost-effective, RF-over-Fiber transport network to improve wireless coverage
and capacity throughout the Hollywood Hills.
NextG Networks is a carrier's carrier that designs, permits, builds, owns, operates and manages a telecommunications network in Hollywood. Instead of erecting multiple additional cellular towers, service providers can use NextG's small, unobtrusive antennas placed on existing utility poles, street lights and other discrete locations in the public right-of-way.
Remote antennas from NextG are connected via fiber to base station equipment, thus providing a distributed network with failover protection. Fiber-fed distributed antenna networks improve cellular wireless coverage and can add the capability to implement public safety services.
It's a solution that conserves dollars, improves coverage and preserves the beauty of the community.
