SAC Wireless, celebrating 25 years as one of the “nation’s leading wireless network infrastructure providers,” today unveiled a new division within the company, the Edge Delivery Group (EDG). The expanding team reflects the type of advanced network infrastructure and specialized service professionals it will take to fully deliver on the promise of 5G, Smart Cities, IoT (Internet of Things) and other emerging digital technologies, according to the company.

“The shift from 4G to 5G technology requires a massive buildout of small cell infrastructure,” said Joe Sanzo, Chief Strategy Officer at SAC, “SAC EDG provides best-in-class network edge site acquisition, deployment and integration services to achieve the full potential of 5G and set the stage for 6G and beyond.” SAC EDG consulting services and field crews work with the major wireless carriers, regional providers, and enterprise verticals interested in private network solutions.

SAC EDG leverages SAC’s capabilities for end-to-end macro and micro network solutions including land acquisition services (real estate, zoning, permitting, regulatory compliance, etc.); site development, architectural and engineering design; supply chain, inventory and logistics management; construction services, equipment installation, commissioning and integration; plus operations and maintenance.

Over a quarter century, SAC mastered the myriad of compliance and regulatory hurdles that change by region, city and neighborhood, steadily compiling the nation’s largest telecommunications jurisdictional requirements database in the SAC EngineRoom™, according to Sanzo. SAC EDG leverages the EngineRoom to enable swift, efficient and thorough right-of-way and compliance resolution from coast-to-coast.

SAC EDG recently upgraded a sports stadium to 5G. When it’s safe to fill the stands to capacity once more, fans will have a fully immersive experience. This type of network takes on tens of thousands of users at once, from the moment they enter the turnstiles until they depart. The custom-built private LTE (PLTE) allows network engineers to slice and differentiate user groups, so that priority data (including emergency calls) is never compromised, and less essential data (like streaming video) is sped up or slowed as needed.

It is possible to keep all users securely connected, to prevent one compromised access point from affecting everyone that’s logged in. Besides cheering for their favorite teams and performers, fans can live stream from the event, watch replays in HD, access player stats and bios, and interact with fellow fans on social media. Custom solutions like these are available for just about every type of indoor and outdoor facility; team sports, motorsports, concert venues and beyond.
