Approved 3113117 <br />1 Laura Goode: Would small cell or DAS technology work to meet the network objective for the <br />2 proposed site? <br />3 <br />4 David Haughney: No. I'll expand on that just a little bit. We use macrocells, small cells, microcells, <br />5 picocells. Verizon is on the forefront of using those technologies on ..... we've actually <br />6 implemented a very well developed network of small cells and DAS on UNC campus becusae that <br />7 is the areas where they are appropriate. Where you have a very high concentration of users and <br />8 you don't need a really tall structure to an exhaust of the carrier because there's so many users <br />9 just right in one area. That's where small cells and DAS are appropriate. And they work and <br />10 Verizon deploys those technologies. In a rural area, this is where you're trying to cover a very <br />11 large area, let's call it 4 square miles to connect between the surrrounding sites at least, and more <br />12 sparse usage without concentrated usage a macrocell is the appropriate feasible and practical <br />13 solution. <br />14 <br />15 Laura Goode: Is it possible, using the monopole, for Verizon Wireless to meet this network <br />16 objective for this site but flush mounting the antennas to the structure? <br />17 <br />18 David Haughney: The optimal design for the site is the one that we proposed and it does include <br />19 more than one antenna per sector and it includes towercomp radio electronics to enhance and <br />20 improve the coverage. And using flush mount design takes away those advantages from it. It <br />21 limits you to one antenna per sector, it limits the amount of towercomp radio electronics that you <br />22 can mount, and then greatly diminishes the overall coverage and capacity benefit of the solution. <br />23 <br />24 Laura Goode: Exhibit 27 of the application is a document labeled "Technolgical Invisibility of Flush <br />25 Mounted Antennas: Clearwater Lake site" has your signature on it. Is that a true and accurate <br />26 copy of your statement? <br />27 <br />28 David Haughney: Yes it is. <br />1801] <br />30 Laura Goode: And finally, will Verizon Wireless' proposed equipment for the tower comply with all <br />31 Federal, State, and Local RF emissions requirements? <br />32 <br />33 David Haughney: Yes, absolutely. <br />34 <br />35 Laura Goode: In Exhibit 17 of the application is a document labeled "Non- Interference Statement <br />36 for Clearwater Lake" with your signature. Is that a true and accurate copy of your statement? <br />37 <br />38 David Haughney: Yes. <br />39 <br />40 Laura Goode: I don't have any further questions at this time. <br />41 <br />OC Board of Adjustment — 12/12/16 Page 39 of 156 <br />
