MLP Looking Into Cell Reception Dead Spots

The is looking to improve cell phone reception in Wellesley.

MLP workers are evaluating the distributed antenna system (DAS), which involves eight small canisters with antennas inside affixed to light posts at select spots in town, according to an MLP press release.

Towns avoid having to place large cell towers with the DAS, the release says, but the MLP wants to know if residents feel the current system provides enough reception.

The MLP has scheduled public meetings on May 31 and June 6 to take place in the Arnold Room of the main library. Both meetings begin at 7:30 p.m.

Residents are asked to e-mail MLP Director Richard Joyce at djoyce@wellesleyma.gov or call at 781-235-7600 x. 3380 with feedback and opinions.
