So, if you’ve seen the coverage maps that they show on the commercials, that, those are <br />propagation studies. And, there’s one as an Exhibit as well. <br /> <br />NISHIMOTO: Okay, is there a reason why these tele—these monopine 4G LTE <br />telecommunication towers need to be closer to certain residents as opposed to the middle of <br />nowhere, where it won’t be a bother to anyone? <br /> <br />SHAFFER: Sure. Yeah, the real reason that we need to put towers close to the users is so that <br />the signal is good. So, the higher the signal, the more efficient the signal, then the fewer towers <br />we need to build. So, if we were to build towers on the outside of communities and tried to shoot <br />in, it would create a number of technical problems, but it’d also require three to five times as <br />many towers which is not something that we’d like to do from a cost perspective or litter the <br />landscape with more structures than is necessary. <br /> <br />NISHIMOTO: And, I know Danette has gone over some of the design criteria. Is there <br />anything else you’d like to add with regard to radiofrequency and coverage? <br /> <br />SHAFFER: No, other than, yeah, the search ring that we developed for this area was based on <br />the existing drive data and the computer simulations showing that this would be the best location. <br />And, it’s a, you know, it’s a, it’s a range on a map that gets sent to Danette, and she goes out and <br />looks for any properties in the area. <br /> <br />NISHIMOTO: Okay, and of the alternative sites that you’ve explored, or Danette has explored, <br />why were they unsuitable as far, in terms of coverage? <br /> <br />SHAFFER: So, I think, I think a total of six different things have come across my desk, and I <br />had approved several of them as Danette mentioned. The one fell through—she mentioned the <br />reason that several of them feel through. They were three that came across my desk which were <br />unsuitable for technical reasons. So, the first one would be the Ainaloa Community Association <br />on Ainaloa Boulevard, and that is on like the eastern part of the neighborhood where our <br />coverage is actually still pretty good. So, if we were to build a cell site there, we’d still need to <br />build a second cell site in the western portion of the neighborhood, so that’s why we rejected that <br />location. <br /> <br />There were two more locations brought to our attention on—was it Sugar— <br /> <br />MARTIN: Sugarcane— <br /> <br />SHAFFER: Sugarcane Lane, and that’s a bit too far west in the neighborhood and would also <br />require a second tower, so this location on Silversword Drive is in the middle of the <br />neighborhood, so it’s ideal because it’s kind of situated on a ridgeline. So, basically, we can <br />build one tower as opposed to having to build two or three. <br /> <br />24 <br />EXHIBIT F <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
