Background
Since 2019, Valmont Telecom, through its ConcealFab® product line, has partnered with several major wireless carriers, along with the Los Angeles Bureau of Street Lighting (LABSL), to support small cell deployment across Los Angeles.
To help carriers deploy faster in a complex municipal environment, Valmont developed a standardized dual-use pole solution that aligned carrier performance requirements with city design standards. Leveraging ConcealFab®’s expertise in concealment, RF integration and small cell infrastructure, Valmont helped establish a scalable deployment approach that streamlined approvals and
accelerated rollout timelines throughout the region.
Today, Valmont remains one of a limited number of approved suppliers for small cell telecom poles within Los Angeles and continues to support ongoing network upgrades and new builds.
From Challenge to Results

Partnering closely with carriers and the Los Angeles Bureau of Street Lighting, Valmont helped develop a standardized, city-approved model that streamlined approvals and let carriers deploy at scale. The pages that follow trace the work from the initial challenge through the solution and execution to the results it delivered.
