National Mall Telecommunications Infrastructure Plan

National Mall and Memorial Parks » National Mall Telecommunications Infrastructure Plan

The National Park Service (NPS) is preparing a telecommunications plan for the National Mall and surrounding NPS park areas in Washington, DC, to evaluate telecommunications infrastructure improvements that will enhance mobile network coverage and capacity while minimizing impacts on the cultural landscape and historic viewsheds.

The Concept Plan outlines feasible locations for the minimum build-out of telecommunication infrastructure across the National Mall and surrounding park areas. The Concept Plan is based on the current limitations of such infrastructure in the Project Study Area and a number of existing constraints. The Concept Plan is not intended to design the infrastructure, but rather to guide where future technologies should be integrated into the Project Study Area.
