Building owners, tenants and the people supporting their communications IT requirements demand device connectivity throughout their buildings. Much of the cost of deploying in-building cellular coverage can be defrayed by including plans for cellular connectivity into the process early on in the design stage for new buildings or during planned renovations to an existing building. The Wireless Infrastructure Association’s Innovation & Technology Council produced the report. ![](https://go.wia.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Connect%20X/0002_Planning-for-Mobile-Broadband-Connectivity-at-the-Architectural-Design-Phase.jpg?width=300&height=388&name=0002_Planning-for-Mobile-Broadband-Connectivity-at-the-Architectural-Design-Phase.jpg) [Download](https://go.wia.org/gradient-landing-left-planning) ### Latest News ### Sign Up For Updates [Sign Up](https://wia.org/newsletter-subscription/) #### Wireless Infrastructure Association 2111 Wilson Blvd., Suite 210, Arlington, VA 22201 703.739.0300 703.836.1608 - [Follow us on Twitter](http://twitter.com/wiaorg) - [Like us on Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/pages/Alexandria-VA/PCIA-The-Wireless-Infrastructure-Association/37483328338) - [Join our LinkedIn group](http://www.linkedin.com/groups?about=&gid=1534737&trk=anet_ug_grppro) - Quick Links - [Search WIA.org](https://wia.org/search/) - [Recent Federal Filings](https://wia.org/category/federal-filings/) - [Sign Up For Updates](https://wia.org/newsletter-subscription/) - [WIA Resource Library](https://wia.org/resource-library/) - [Employment Opportunities](https://wia.org/employment-opportunities/) - [SWAP Events](https://wia.site-ym.com/events/event_list.asp) - Newsroom - [WIA Press Releases](https://wia.org/category/news-content/wia-press-releases/) - [WIA Member News](https://wia.org/category/news-content/members-in-the-news/) - [Media and Press Contact](https://wia.org/media-and-press-contact/) - [WIA Blog](https://wia.org/blog/) #### For Members Only - [WIA Member Portal](https://wia.org/membership/wia-members-only-login-page/) - [WIA PAC Prior Approval Form](https://pcia.site-ym.com/?PACApprovalForm) WIA Websites: - [Het Net Forum](http://www.hetnetforum.com/) - [TIRAP](http://www.tirap.org/) - [Connect (X)](https://www.connectivityexpo.com/) - [WWLF](http://www.wwlf.org/) Copyright © WIA - All Rights Reserved.
