propagation studies is needed. For any proposed site located less than 2 miles from a <br />community's boundary, the boundary must be shown on the map. <br />Note: Only signal strengths of -95 dBm for In-Vehicle service and -85 dBm for In-Building <br />service will be considered in the context of the need for the facility and the need for the <br />requested height, unless the facility is intended to serve an urban market. This is based on <br />the accepted losses inherent with each situation and the ability of the hand unit to function <br />normally at -106 dBm. For example, 1) phone/terminal works at -106 dBm, there is -5 dBm <br />for fade and -6 dBm for in-vehicle usage and thus a propagation signal strength of -95 dBm <br />is adequate for in-vehicle coverage. 2) Phone/terminal works at -106 dBm, there is -5 dBm <br />for fade and -16 dBm for in-building usage and thus a propagation signal strength of -85 <br />dBm is adequate for coverage <br />Note: The Applicant must state whether the proposed facility design is for in-vehicle <br />coverage (-95 dBm) or in-building coverage (-85 dBm). If applicant believes they need <br />different signal strength levels, it must be justified in detail. <br />Note: Propagation studies must contain a scale of miles or distance in the legend and all <br />propagation maps must be done at the same scale. <br />Note: Propagation studies must be accompanied by all modeling information used to <br />produce them ("Data Sheet for Prop Study" form), including, but not limited to the ERP <br />(Effective Radiated Power) from the site/facility that is the subject of the application and all <br />adjacent sites/facilities and the cut sheets from all equipment showing the operating <br />characteristics, such as, for purposes of example: <br />The power of the radios stated in watts <br />■ The gains and losses from each component of all equipment <br />( ~--r <br />Co-Location Options: If not proposing to use highest priority sites in order as established by <br />p <br />) <br />the Ordinance or Law, the applicant is required to prove that there are no facilities on which <br />v <br />i <br />J <br />to co-locate that will meet the applicant's needs. This shall include a complete inventory of <br />f~ <br />all potential co-location sites/facilities in the application. The inventory shall identify each <br />tti <br />potential facility and include an explanation in sufficient detail so as to enable an <br />understanding of specifically why any given potential co-location facility or combination of <br />k~ <br />facilities will not enable the applicant to meet its needs. <br />7. <br />Tower Safety: If the application is for modification or colocation on an existing guyed tower <br />over 3 years old, a monopole or self-supporting tower over 5 years old, a signed copy of the <br />latest inspection report must be provided for review. The inspection report must have been <br />completed within the ANSI recommended time period of 3 years for guyed towers and 5 <br />years for monopoles or self-supporting towers and must include the inspection of the items <br />as outlined in the ANSI/TIA/EIA-222F-96, Annex E, Tower Maintenance and Inspection <br />Procedures. <br />8. NIER/RF Emissions -Requirements for wireless facilities providing Cellular, PCS, SMR, <br />and paging services. (All radio and television broadcast facilities must provide full data and <br />studies for compliance to the FCC with their license applications). <br />Iv~ tJ Categorically excluded - wireless facilities can be ruled excluded from the <br />requirement for routine environmental processing for RF exposure, 47 C.F.R. <br />section 1.1307 (b)(1) of the Commission. <br />Last Revision: 1/12/04 Page 2 of 3 <br />
