We Help Make Complex Infrastructure Projects Reality

Leveraging RAMP™ to Accelerate Speed To Market and Boost Competitive Advantage.

SITUATION


When large scale, complex telecom infrastructure projects include the Chicago market, it is likely Talman Consultants will be involved. We worked with Crown Castle to bring 5G wireless service to Chicago by helping to add thousands of small cells to existing infrastructure.

CHALLENGE


Some of the fastest moving infrastructure management projects continue to be 5G mobile networks and small cells. As consumers demand higher speeds and better reliability, the ability to connect to multiple devices remains an industry challenge. Crown Castle aimed to quickly scale networks nationwide through wireless and fiber connectivity and find innovative ways to deploy infrastructure.
