Our Clients: Municipalities

---

Municipal leadership changes often, but the risks and opportunities of cellular infrastructure remain constant. At SCM Advisors, we work exclusively with cities and public agencies to safeguard property rights, protect public safety, and preserve municipal authority in the face of rapidly expanding 5G and upcoming 6G deployments.

A critical area of focus is Section 6409. Carriers frequently attempt to classify upgrades as “minor modifications” to bypass local review, fees, and safety checks. Our team of licensed RF engineers and cellular compliance consultants ensures that every upgrade is properly evaluated and, when appropriate, classified as a Major Modification, unlocking new revenue for municipalities while enforcing compliance.

We provide municipalities with:

• Legal and liability protection through carrier indemnification and updated Use Permit requirements.
• FCC compliance audits to ensure RF exposure and equipment installations meet federal safety standards.
• 6409 review and enforcement to stop carriers from sidestepping local authority.
• Revenue capture strategies that maximize fees and rents from wireless infrastructure.
• Training and knowledge transfer to empower municipal staff with the tools to manage wireless projects long-term.
   

With SCM Advisors as your partner, your city gains the technical expertise and legal oversight needed to protect public safety, reduce liability, and secure millions in revenue from wireless carriers, while ensuring compliance for generations of network expansion to come.
