Site Selection<br />

The proposed siteTMobile LA338 12D Cedar Grove Perk is considered an infill site<br />

that will improve coverage to the dense residential neighborhood surrounding Jamboree<br />

Rd and <strong>Tustin</strong> Ranch Rd in the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong><strong>Tustin</strong> This area has been identified as one with<br />

very low perforn ance in which existing sites cannot provide good signal strength due to<br />

the terrain elevation changes hills physical obstructions and dense vegetation<br />

A new cell site will improve indoor coverage in an area that is presently served at best<br />

with very weak signal strength levels that result in a high number <strong>of</strong> dropped calls<br />

excessive interference and at times the inability to connect a call<br />

TMobile Engineering guidelines<br />

described below<br />

used to deternne the best candidate for this area are<br />

1 Site Visit Visual assessment <strong>of</strong> the area to search for viable candidates based on<br />

location structure height topography lease area etc<br />

2 Propagation AnalysisTMobile uses a<br />

prediction tool known as Asset to predict the<br />

expected coverage <strong>of</strong> the new cell site and how it will perform with the existing<br />

the area<br />

sites in<br />

3 Drive Test Data TMobile uses real time data collected from the field to determine<br />

the need for an additional site<br />

Design Limitations<br />

Generally cell site coverage is affected by differentfactors described below<br />

Cell Site location in reference <strong>of</strong> coverage objective<br />

Cell Site antenna location and height available A very short site provides a very<br />

limited coverage pattern That s the case for existing TMobile site LA02317A<br />

Salvation Army<br />

Terrain elevations A very tall site causes interference over other existing cell sites<br />

Dense trees<br />

foliage or vegetation<br />

Physical obstructions buildings vertical elements etc<br />

Height Justification<br />

The proposed new facility<br />

at Cedar Grove Park has been analyzed using the<br />

computerized prediction tool known as Asset and has been found to have a<br />

good<br />

performance when interacting with existing TMobile sites at the proposed height <strong>of</strong> 60<br />

feet Top <strong>of</strong> the Antenna<br />

Wireless facilities should be tall enough to clear surrounding buildings and tree cover A<br />

line <strong>of</strong> sight to the coverage objective is always a top priority when designing a new cell<br />

site Antennas always point to the horizon and due to fact that low power transmitters are<br />

used on this type <strong>of</strong> facilities any obstruction would disrupt coverage pattern and result
