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
