Last month, Calilornian led Kreines, a town planner and expert in wireless communications addressed the Edgartown planning board on the issue of cellular communication towers. His claim that the towers are not needed at all met with a warm response.
What Kreines was talking about was the use of the next wave of “micro cell” technology, where the equipment can be buried in the ground, or hung on a wall or street lamp. It has antennas, computers and batteries and it can be disguised or concealed so people won’t know it’s there.
Would such new equipment work on Martha’s Vineyard? Probably. Would it work in Rappahannock? Maybe, or maybe not. Would it be more expensive? Certainly. Lots of questions, but there is a point to all of this.
Learning everything we can about the cellular communications business, and coming up with reasonable standards, is the best way to provide for whatever is coming. We have to be able to look at the big picture — rather than fighting the puzzle, piece-by-piece.
This way, we can show the cellular folks that we are serious about protecting what is important to us. And that they must comply with these standards if they want to do business here.
