Coverage Justification <br />AT&T is proposing a new site EG46, near the intersection of Amazon Drive and Fox Hollow Rd. in the city of Eugene, Oregon. <br />This is an AT&T service area that has weak signal coverage as shown in Exhibits A and also in Exhibit B even after the <br />addition of another proposed new site EG46 near Blanton Ridge. As can be seen, there is a large 4G LTE 700 MHz coverage <br />gap in all areas not shaded in green. While the target coverage area has voice grade service today, it does not have adequate <br />4G LTE service within the 700 MHz frequency band. As AT&T's technology improves and expands from 2G and 3G to 4G LTE, <br />the company is committed to meeting all wireless communication needs of its customers by delivering faster data speeds and <br />more reliable and expansive voice and data connections, whether its customers are in buildings, in vehicles, or outdoors. <br />AT&T's addition of new technology will also reduce the number of dropped calls and otherwise address its customers' reported <br />service issues in the area. <br />The gap was determined as a result of analyzing a combination of customer complaints, service requests, and from RF <br />engineering design analysis. The planned service coverage improvement is mostly along Amazon Drive between Hilyard Street <br />and Snell Street, and the surrounding residential areas on the to East sides of Amazon Drive and also to the West going up the <br />hill along portion of Fox Hollow Rd.. <br />Exhibit C shows the projected coverage from the proposed candidate with an antenna tip height of 70 feet. This is the height <br />where an AT&T wireless device can be reliably used to make and receive telephone calls and use data service in the presence <br />of varying signals. The proposed antenna tip height is the minimum necessary to fill the LTE 700 MHz coverage gap relative to <br />nearby complementary wireless facilities. <br />Exhibits D, E, and F show the coverage from alternate site candidates on existing light standards near the proposed site. Two <br />antenna heights are required since antennas are flush mounted to pole and a second mounting height is needed to complete <br />the array. As illustrated in these exhibits, the alternate candidates are not adequate to fill the LTE 700 MHz coverage gap or <br />are otherwise not feasible. <br />
