Protecting property owners and municipalities navigating the rapid deployment of small cell and Distributed Antenna System infrastructure from initial lease review through final negotiation.
Discuss Your Telecommunications ProjectSmall cell towers and Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) are increasingly deployed on streetlights, utility poles, rooftops, and building exteriors to support 4G LTE and 5G network densification. While carriers present standard lease agreements as routine, the terms embedded in those documents can encumber a property for decades.
DTA Consultants provides independent consulting to help property owners, municipalities, and real estate investors understand and negotiate the terms governing these deployments. We do not represent carriers and do not provide legal or engineering services.
We review proposed small cell and DAS agreements, identify below-market compensation, unfavorable term lengths, and problematic access or assignment clauses.
We develop a negotiation strategy tailored to your property type and leverage position, supporting you through the back-and-forth with carrier representatives.
For owners with multiple locations, we assess your full portfolio exposure to small cell deployments and identify optimization opportunities across the estate.
Municipalities face significant pressure from carriers invoking federal shot-clock rules. We help local governments understand their rights and negotiate master license agreements.
Building owners and stadiums hosting carrier-funded DAS systems have unique leverage. We help hosts negotiate revenue-sharing terms, access controls, and exit provisions.
Already have an agreement in place? We audit existing documents to identify modification opportunities, consent rights, and upcoming renewal leverage points.
Contact DTA Consultants for an independent assessment of your small cell or DAS situation.
