A frequent complaint locally, mainly during the summer months, is that while signal strength is strong, network capacity leads to significant lag time which affects streaming applications, teleconferencing software and other applications that require large amounts of data transfer. Different wireless providers utilize different technologies to deliver 5G signals over particular areas \u2013 Verizon has bet on its &#8220;small cell&#8221; nodes, which are placed on top of existing utility poles when possible.<\/p>\n<p>Lavallette recently passed an updated ordinance on the deployment of 5G network nodes, however federal regulations offer municipal governments little regulatory powers since the technology is considered federally-regulated infrastructure. Lavallette&#8217;s new ordinance established a right-of-way permitting program which limits where the nodes can be placed, though federal regulations require exceptions to be granted if there is no alternative. Nodes cannot be placed within 200 feet of each other, though officials said they originally wanted to create a 500-foot buffer between them.<\/p>\n<p>The ordinance prohibits ground-level cabinets \u2013 boxes that provide supporting equipment and power to the nodes \u2013 in the RA, RB and RC residential zones and on any &#8220;public grounds.&#8221; It also requires a review by the borough engineer.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13910\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/lavallette-seaside\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/lavallette_cell_tower_node_1233-scaled.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"A small 5G wireless facility on top of an existing timber pole, Lavallette, N.J., May 2023.
