Telecommunication Tower Application 49 <br />Piedmont ectr�c em ers p o <br />of this Application Package. The class of <br />service will be FB2 per the FCC license. <br />6) The antenna systems will be installed in an omni- <br />directional fashion with an effective radiated <br />power of approximately 160 watts. <br />7) No directional antennas will be used on this radio <br />system. All antennas will be omni- directional. <br />8) The proposed PEMC tower in Orange_ County will <br />not exceed the FCC peak power limits. PEMC <br />will meet all local, state and federal requirements <br />regarding construction, height, location and <br />transmit power levels. The FCC has stated that <br />base stations need evaluation for peak equivalent <br />isotropically radiated power (EIRP) in excess of <br />1640 watts or antennas mounted less than 10 <br />meters from the ground. Neither criterion will <br />apply to this Orange County site. <br />9) ALE has engineered the proposed radio system <br />and has utilized the services of Comsearch, Inc. to <br />provide frequency coordination services for the <br />FCC. The approved frequencies are certified to <br />not cause any interference to other adjacent <br />communication devices. <br />10) In response to Orange Counties desire for co- <br />location, ALE conducted a detailed analysis of all <br />nearby towers that might be considered for usage <br />by PEMC. In Tab 7 of this Application Package, <br />propagation maps are included that indicate the <br />radio coverage areas of all the nearby towers <br />would reduce the two -way radio coverage area by <br />30 %. A total of approximately 20 miles coverage <br />is proposed by the new PEMC tower while the <br />best coverage available from the American Tower <br />in the area would be 14 miles. <br />AUE thereby certifies that no other radio tower <br />sites are available in the Orange County area to <br />meet PEMC's requirements. <br />Prepared by: <br />Alexander Utility Engineering, Inc. 6/28/2006 Page 4 of 6 <br />
