Fusco(a)crown castle. com <br />2.1.3 Southwest — SBA Site <br />This site could provide 800 MHz VIPER coverage in the southwest portion of the <br />County. <br />There were two possible sites that could provide RF coverage in this area, and both <br />were investigated. Only one has available space on the tower that might be used. <br />Both of the sites investigated are owned by SBA. One was found in the Crown Castle <br />Database, and one was listed on the County Telcom List, #41. The latter site, #41 <br />appears to have tower space available <br />800 MHz RF coverage has been predicted from this site, and is shown in Figure 1. <br />Figure 2 is a representation of the previous 800 MHz portable talk -in coverage. <br />The County should consider pursuing use of this tower. <br />August 23, 2013 Page 7 of 37 <br />T <br />�G <br />194 <br />
