Crews Upgrade Verizon Equipment

Posted

This August 15th photo shows upgrades being made to Verizon equipment on top of the Goodhue water tower. The job included removing some old equipment and installing new components that will be capable of providing 5G service in the future. Cables were accessed from the bottom while the crew used a lift capable of reaching 180 feet to put the new antennas at the top of the structure.

The 3-man crew is from Sauk Rapids and works for Omni Contracting, Inc, a wireless construction contractor. According to Bloomberg.com, “The Company offers new build construction and tower erection, carrier upgrades, civil work, meter reading systems, drive testing, tower maintenance, and inspection services. Omni Contracting serves telecommunications industry in the State of Minnesota”.
