<br />Memorandum <br /> <br />DaIIIC 12/11/00 <br />Toe Steve Katkov, Real Estate and Zoning Manager, American Portable TeIecom(APT) <br />Cc: Alan Roberts, RF Engineering Manager, APT <br />From: Brandon Johnson, RF Engineer, APT <br />HE: Site Justification for Roseville South- A 1 N517 <br /> <br />\lOiOt ~m.e01W1 <br /> <br />As the Radio Frequency Engineer assigned to design and analyze the proposed tower in Roseville, <br />MN, I have perfonned evaluations considering the follovving factors: tONer height, terrain, foliage, and <br />coverage connectivity with existing sites. All of the previously mentioned factors are important in the <br />design process. Before a partiaJlar location is chosen as the area where we wish to build, we first look <br />for any existing structures (i.a rooftops, existing tcY.ers, ate.) that meet our coverage objectives and <br />that are available fer co-Iocation. In this partiaJlar case, an existing sbucture was identified and <br />designated as our primary candidate for this particular search ring. <br /> <br />The proPosed site, v.11ich(wilrbe locatect-on-thefoofofthe Roseville ProfessioriBl-eenter, willi enable <br />APT to provide optimal \coverage-~in - Roseville-and -provide-irF-building-coverage-to-~ malls, <br />~esses _~~-9gaLQeigb~~nding Highways 36 and 51. Our proposed tc7.Ner will <br />[fix the v.eak in..~ldi~ cov~e~~~~this partiaJlar area and solve the capacity issues VIe are <br />currently experiencing in this area due to high customer usage. <br /> <br />The frequencies used will be restricted to the PCS B Band as follONS: <br /> <br />Receive: <br /> <br />PCS B Block (1950 to 1965 MHz) <br />PCS B Block (1870 to 1885 MHz) <br /> <br />Transmit <br /> <br />This band was allocated to APT by the FCC. These frequencies are well isolated from other <br />frequencies used by public safety communications systems. We currently have over 250 sites on the <br />air, and no incidences of interference with public safety systems has ever occurred. <br /> <br />8118100 <br /> <br />1 <br />
