Passive Infrastructure

Posting Date: December 3, 2021

Abstract:
The business of telecommunications falls under federal jurisdiction but many of the practical considerations relating to the physical installation of telecommunications infrastructure come under the authority of local governments.

Connectivity deployment relies on access to existing civil infrastructure such as roadways, utility poles, streetlights, underground conduits, and potentially any physical structure where cables and wireless antennas can be attached.

The telecommunications industry commonly refers to these supporting structures as “passive infrastructure.”
