that I've looked at, in the center, you end up having this—it's more marginal, and those are
<br />handover areas where you're handing over between two different sites, and you also have like
<br />poor SNR and things like that so. I'm sure what was theI just want to make sure I answered
<br />your question.
<br />RAFFIPIY: Well, what I was trying to get at is I wanted to know, the covered areas, what is
<br />DE LA GARZA: Oh, okay
<br />RAFFIPIY: you know, the cell, you know, the cellI wanted to see the cell and see where
<br />they overlap or, you know, if you move it around and, so the green shaded area is the covered
<br />area.
<br />DE LA GARZA: So, the green shaded area is a pretty strong signal strength.
<br />RAFFIPIY: Okay.
<br />DE LA GARZA: So, anywhere you have like a stronger signal strength that's stronger than the
<br />other sites around it, you'll have good SNR, good performance. The middle area is lower RSRP,
<br />and when you have like what we call cell edge, which is kind of like when you get to the edge of
<br />the coverage area, you'll probably still have some coverage. It won't be as good as it is in the
<br />green area, but yeah.
<br />RAFFIPIY: If there is another carrier to come on to, you know, to apply for a co -location you
<br />know coexist with Verizon, any other company talk to you folks? A carrier talked to you folks
<br />yet or expressed interest in?
<br />MARTIN: Verizon has a co -location department, and accepts those applications. As part of the
<br />condition of approval, the County of Hawaii requires for co -location, and we always design our
<br />towers to at least hold two other carriers' equipment. If a third one wants to come on, you know,
<br />we can always switch out the tower for, or reinforce the tower in order to accommodate them.
<br />RAFFIPIY: Okay, thank you, and with that, will the layout—will the layout, Verizon tower's
<br />layout, will it, will that accommodate the layout for, you know, anybody else, or?
<br />DE LA GARZA: Yeah, if they're using similar bands which they should be. Yeah, I mean,
<br />that's up to them—
<br />MARTIN: —They would have to come back to you. We don't—our equipment, we don't share
<br />ground space, so if another carrier wanted to come on, they would have to go to the landlord and
<br />negotiate their own ground space, but we would accommodate them on the tower.
<br />RAFFIPIY: Okay, so even if any carrier wants to come in, they can—they can install their
<br />equipment using your, all the same towers that you have and they can also provide the same
<br />coverage if they want to?
