Wilshire Bl/Sycamore Av Antenna

Antenna

• Steel pole, slightly more than 62 feet above the concrete base
• Less than 12 inches in diameter
• Radio antenna must be in very close proximity (300 feet maximum) to

the underground station’s communications room (at the east end of the Wilshire/La Brea Station)

• This eliminates the loss of signal strength.
• Location provides connectivity to the various emergency response

agencies’ other local and mountain top radio transmitter/receiver sites

• Location allows the Purple Line radio system to have the coverage it

requires for all users:

• Metro Operations and Maintenance
• Public safety (police, fire, Sheriff, and Transit Security) in the

underground stations and tunnels

ansit s t system tem c contex text: t: names will reflect the property’s location, relative to the entire transit system, and not duplicated elsewhere.

• Pr

Proper perty ar area: ea: provide specific information about the property’s location relative to the surrounding area.

• Neighbor

borhood

• od i

identity: acknowledge the communities and neighborhoods serviced by the station and stops.

• Simp

Simplic icity: names will be short, easily recognizable and fit for signage and mapping.
