DRAFT <br /> <br />OC Board of Adjustment – 11/9/15 Page 39 of 156 <br /> <br />Laura Goode: Would small cell or DAS technology work to meet the network objective for the 1 <br />proposed site? 2 <br /> 3 <br />David Haughney: No. I’ll expand on that just a little bit. We use macrocells, small cells, microcells, 4 <br />picocells. Verizon is on the forefront of using those technologies on ….. we’ve actually 5 <br />implemented a very well developed network of small cells and DAS on UNC campus becusae that 6 <br />is the areas where they are appropriate. Where you have a very high concentration of users and 7 <br />you don’t need a really tall structure to an exhaust of the carrier because there’s so many users 8 <br />just right in one area. That’s where small cells and DAS are appropriate. And they work and 9 <br />Verizon deploys those technologies. In a rural area, this is where you’re trying to cover a very 10 <br />large area, let’s call it 4 square miles to connect between the surrrounding sites at least, and more 11 <br />sparse usage without concentrated usage a macrocell is the appropriate feasible and practical 12 <br />solution. 13 <br /> 14 <br />Laura Goode: Is it possible, using the monopole, for Verizon Wireless to meet this network 15 <br />objective for this site but flush mounting the antennas to the structure? 16 <br /> 17 <br />David Haughney: The optimal design for the site is the one that we proposed and it does include 18 <br />more than one antenna per sector and it includes towercomp radio electronics to enhance and 19 <br />improve the coverage. And using flush mount design takes away those advantages from it. It 20 <br />limits you to one antenna per sector, it limits the amount of towercomp radio electronics that you 21 <br />can mount, and then greatly diminishes the overall coverage and capacity benefit of the solution. 22 <br /> 23 <br />Laura Goode: Exhibit 27 of the application is a document labeled “Technolgical Invisibility of Flush 24 <br />Mounted Antennas: Clearwater Lake site” has your signature on it. Is that a true and accurate 25 <br />copy of your statement? 26 <br /> 27 <br />David Haughney: Yes it is. 28 <br /> 29 <br />Laura Goode: And finally, will Verizon Wireless’ proposed equipment for the tower comply with all 30 <br />Federal, State, and Local RF emissions requirements? 31 <br /> 32 <br />David Haughney: Yes, absolutely. 33 <br /> 34 <br />Laura Goode: In Exhibit 17 of the application is a document labeled “Non-Interference Statement 35 <br />for Clearwater Lake” with your signature. Is that a true and accurate copy of your statement? 36 <br /> 37 <br />David Haughney: Yes. 38 <br /> 39 <br />Laura Goode: I don’t have any further questions at this time. 40 <br /> 41 <br />41
