( � • <br />�� <br />Thomas Paschke <br />From: Terrence Heiser <br />Sent: Tuesday, November 10, 2009 1:58 PM <br />To: Bill Malinen; Pat Trudgeon; Thomas Paschke; Bryan Lloyd; Chris Miller; Lonnie Brokke <br />Subject: Radio (Wireless) Coverage in Roseville <br />Attachments: RosevilleAreaTowers_Coverage.pdf <br />As we continue our discussion on cellular (wireless communication) towers you might find the <br />attached map quite interesting. <br />Although there isn't a master database that catalogs all the communication towers in the <br />metro area it wasn't difficult for me to find them. Using aerial images together with <br />knowledge of the metro from almost 40 years of living and working in this area I was able to <br />compile a map that shows the wireless coverage in Roseville. <br />In the metro we have only 5 major service providers; Sprint, Nextel, Verizon, T-Mobile, and <br />AT&T. Sprint and Nextel are a single company but use tow different technologies so therefore <br />have dual installs on most towers. Keep in mind that not all providers are located on every <br />tower so the map is not indicative of the complete RF coverage for Roseville. Additionally <br />the service area from a tower has been generalized to a radius of 1 mile. Some towers provide <br />better coverage depending on height and the provider equipment. But short of an RF inapping of <br />the signal level, service providers will typically use the 1 mile radius for towers and less <br />for roof top installations on 3 story buildings. <br />So lool<ing at the map you will find red circles (Roseville owned communication towers), black <br />circles (towers owned by others), small blue circles (representing known roof top <br />deployments), and a yellow circle (representing Acorn Park service area). <br />Absent the yellow circle you can definitely see a dead zone extending along Dale Street north <br />to County Road C then northwest across Lake Owasso and into the vicinity of Victoria/County <br />Road D. I have received comments/complaints from residents in this neighborhood that have <br />trouble with their mobile phones. <br />I did notice from the map that the area south of Acorn Park should be covered by two towers <br />located in Little Canada along Highway 36 near Rice Street. However if you visit these towers <br />you will find shorter 100' free standing towers and given the ground elevation into Roseville <br />(it's all uphill) and the heavily wooded neighborhoods it could be understood why Acorn Park <br />residents commented on poor coverage as well. <br />I would suspect that a tower in Little Canada adjacent to Rice Street at Owasso Boulevard <br />provides most of the coverage for the northeastern part of Roseville. This tower is 180' tall <br />and hosts a number of providers. Taking into account this tower with its proximity to Acorn <br />Park it is evident the value of another 150' tower in the Acorn Park area. <br />In the discovery process I found quite a number of single provider towers at 100' in height. <br />This is why there are so many towers along the I35W corridor. I guess in the industrial areas <br />almost anyone can put up a tower in their parking lot and rent it out. <br />Terre <br />Confidentiality Statement: The documents accompanying this transmission contain confidential <br />information that is legally privileged.
