FAQ

Do California small-cell deployments need a PE stamp?

Yes. Pole loading analyses, structural mounting, and many electrical scopes for small-cell and DAS deployments in California must be sealed by a PE licensed in California.

Who regulates pole attachments in California?

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) regulates pole attachments on investor-owned utility poles, with FCC backstop rules. Joint pole authorities and local IOUs (PG&E, SCE, SDG&E) administer make-ready.

What is OSP design?

Outside Plant (OSP) design covers fiber routing, splice planning, conduit, vaults, aerial vs. underground decisions, and as-built documentation for telecom networks.
