City of Villa Park votes 5-0, joining 20+ California cities to help standardize and expedite small cell deployment

VILLA PARK, Calif. -- XG Communities LLC, a premier provider of wireless, asset marketing and engineering services for cities and municipalities across the United States, announces their agreement to market and manage wireless coverage solutions for the City of Villa Park, California.

Under the multi-year agreement, XG Communities will begin marketing the City's street light poles and other assets for small cell colocation. This effort will enhance the ability for Villa Park to deploy wireless connectivity throughout the city.

The City of Portland is anxious to bring additional cellular coverage to their citizens – RFP awarded to XG Communities

PORTLAND, Ore. -- XG Communities, a premier provider of wireless marketing plans and engineering services for cities and municipalities across the United States, has been awarded an exclusive wireless marketing agreement with the City of Portland.

After an extensive process, the City of Portland has partnered with XG Communities to enhance coverage and capacity in alignment with the City's goal of greater connectivity.

In collaboration with carriers, XG Communities will organize and streamline the application and deployment processes in order to serve the city and carriers.

"We are thrilled to partner with the City of Portland on this important initiative. Now more than ever, wireless infrastructure will be the underpinning of economic development and citizen satisfaction," said Monnie McGaffigan, President of XG Communities. "Connectivity is the backbone of a productive economy and a connected community. We are honored to assist Portland in this endeavor."

About The City of Portland:

Neighborhood-oriented since its founding, Portland grew outward to become the vibrant and charming major city it is today. The birthplace for car sharing, Portland is already a favorite amongst millennials; the city is not only surrounded by lush Oregon landscapes and a cycling community, but it is a hub for startups, collaboration and green practices, with coffee and farm to table cuisine surrounded by the largest collection of microbreweries in the country.

First small cells come to life in Sacramento

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- XG Communities LLC and the City of Sacramento announced that multiple carriers have received permit approvals to build small cells in downtown Sacramento. Mobilitie began construction immediately and already has sites on air. Sacramento's model invites carriers and connectivity providers to enhance wireless coverage and capacity for the citizens of Sacramento by leveraging city-owned assets.

Sacramento has updated its policies and processes to allow for small cells to quickly obtain city approval. Sacramento's goal to be the nation's first 5G city is close to realization.

Carriers built test sites in 2017 and intend to construct hundreds of small cells over the coming months. The sites are aesthetically pleasing and are in line with the city's technology priorities.

"We're disrupting how small cells are deployed - making the process faster, streamlined, and predictable," said XG Communities founder and CEO John Clarey. "We think our model working with cities is the future and we've proven that it works here in California."

The street light poles are available on XG Communities' Site SeleX Platform (www.siteselex.com).

Located in Riverside County, the City of Beaumont has served as an attractive location for residents from Los Angeles and neighboring counties. The population has grown more than twenty percent since 2000, requiring a significant investment from the City into its infrastructure. The move to offer potential small cell sites on city assets is a part of its efforts to update its infrastructure and connectivity, as well as raising new revenue for the city.

The City of Beaumont signed an exclusive agreement with XG Communities in October 2017 to help the city organize and market the siting rights on city assets. Over the past 3 months, XG Communities has been developing a master plan and preparing the City's inventory of assets on the Site Selex platform for marketing to wireless providers.

Monnie McGaffigan, President of XG Communities, said "It's exciting to see the leadership that our cities are providing nationally in getting us ready for 5G. Beaumont, in particular, has been a true partner in finding creative solutions to offer locations on its assets while still meeting city priorities."

XG Communities Threatens the Current Outdated Small Cell Deployment Model

IRVINE, Calif. -- XG Communities LLC, a premier provider of accelerated, organized and predictable wireless deployment for cities and municipalities across the United States, announced initial success in solving the small cell inventory and speed-to-deployment problems facing connectivity providers. Contrary to macro tower ownership models, XG Communities serves as the facilitator in the process for both cities and carriers, reducing variability and increasing the speed.

XG Communities has developed the first of its kind digital portal to enable carriers to reserve city-owned assets for small cell deployment, in only a few steps.

XG Communities' approach removes the lengthy back and forth process for legal negotiations and provides predictability for cities. So far, XG Communities has launched 6 cities on the Site SeleX Platform, including four cities in California (Sacramento, Fresno, Clovis and San Luis Obispo) and St. Louis, Missouri.

A CEO of a major tower company recently highlighted the challenge of deploying small cells - citing a backlog of 25,000 small cell orders with an average deployment time of 18 to 24 months. Given this timeline, connectivity providers will not be able to meet density required for the deployment of 5G and other emerging technologies. XG Communities' goal is to decrease the deployment timeline 6 months process. XG Communities is unique in its approach with cities, which involves close collaboration with cities to strengthen the city's expertise and revise processes to align with the new technical requirements of small cell deployment. The common goal between carriers and cities is to meet the tremendous small cell demand over the next five years and increase our nation's connectivity.

John Clarey, the CEO and Founder of XG Communities, said "The only way to break this logjam is the use of a facilitator steeped in expertise that sits between cities and carriers to make the process predictable and repeatable."

He added that the market is uniquely ripe for disruption and there is a clear path forward to ensure that XG Communities cities are ready for 5G and other emerging technologies, such as CBRS or 3.5GHz.
