Glendale Facebook Live Event Discussing 5G Technology in Our Community
March 25 at 10 AM.
The event will also be streamed on Channel 11.
The City of Glendale has arranged for a Facebook Live event with our community to discuss the impact of Small Cell and 5G technology, and the use of this infrastructure in our neighborhoods. This virtual event will be an opportunity for residents of Glendale to ask questions to the city’s telecommunications partners on how this technology promotes greater service to our community. City leaders will also be prepared to discuss the processes and ways that the telecom providers and the city deploy technology with mindful determinations to minimize impacts to our community. In recent months, The city is very interested in hearing from our residents concerning this subject and all residents are encouraged to attend this event. Please contact my office if you have any questions or need help accessing the event.
