SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT
The wireless carriers have collaborated today to discuss and educate on the common cellular network needs in the South Lake Tahoe area. Any carrier, project, or build plan specific questions can’t be addressed today in light of competitive restrictions, but these questions can be answered in separate follow-up meetings.

WIRELESS NETWORK FUNDAMENTALS
Wireless communication is achieved by using radio waves to transmit data between
various cell sites during calls. If there is insufficient capacity or coverage provided by these cell sites, then the quality of the phone call or data is decreased.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF TECHNOLOGY
To provide quality and reliable wireless service and connect customers to their world everywhere they live, work and play, companies use a variety of technologies to build, upgrade and enhance their network. Macro Cells - are the more “traditional” cells that enable high-speed mobile internet. Along with playing a key role in connecting a large number of devices to the network at the same time, macro cells also have the capability to provide service to large geographic areas. Small Cells - are flexible networking solutions that target specific locations where capacity or coverage is an issue. By bringing the network “closer” to its users, small cells help us bolster network capacity and deliver faster connectivity speeds. This allows us to provide a better LTE experience today while also preparing for the technologies of the future. Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) - help connect customers to wireless services in highly concentrated areas such as large venues like arenas, convention centers or stadiums. By strategically placing antennas around a venue, wireless demand is divided evenly allowing carriers to more efficiently manage the increased usage and provide a better wireless experience.
CAPACITY AND PERFORMANCE VS. COVERAGE
A new cell site could be needed for multiple reasons: Increased demand - To add capacity to a wireless network we often add additional cell sites within a given area. In-Fill - Needed where signal strength no longer meets current customer demands. Coverage - Needed to provide service to an area not previously served. There are generally four ways to increase capacity in the network:
COVERAGE - THE FOOTPRINT, OR SERVICE AREA, OF A SITE IS DETERMINED BY HEIGHT AND BY FREQUENCY BAND
0.5 to 20 miles 75 to 400 feet
Macrocell (4G LTE)
The common form factor for wireless
lower frequencies used result in the larger service area.
30 to 60 feet 500 to 1200 ft 30 to 60 feet 250 to 750 ft
Current Small Cell (4G LTE)
Uses the same frequencies as macrocells, in addition to utilizing unlicensed spectrum. Due to lower height, footprint is smaller. Increases capacity or coverage in target areas.
Future Small Cell (5G)
Very high frequencies enabled by future 5G technology will result in a smaller footprint, but can be used to meet the exponential increased capacity demand. These frequencies are not used for wireless service today.

For new Macro builds, the extra approvals needed in the Tahoe Basin can add to the project timeline. Approvals may be required by TRPA, USFS, and the local jurisdiction. – 90% of the land in the Tahoe basin is publicly owned. 77% of the public lands in the Tahoe basin are managed by the USFS and the remainder is comprised of CA state parks, Washoe tribal, Federal and/or NV state lands.
– TRPA land coverage credits may be required for ground improvements.
The construction moratorium from Oct 15th to Apr 15th adds additional delays. – This can result in pushing out projects that are approved in the 3Q of the current year into the 2Q of the following year (at least a 6 month delay). The scenic corridor around the Tahoe basin can add another layer of approvals and can prevent site development in multiple areas.

There have been improvements in communication and process in the last few years but the slower construction timeline falls way below the needed network growth. – Customer usage continues to grow at a very high rate and the improvements that we have been able to make have not been enough to keep up with the growth.

allocated by the FCC.
– The FCC manages spectrum from 9KHz to 300GHz for multiple uses (broadcast,
military, medical, public safety, satellite, mobile telecommunications, etc.). We need large macro sites, medium macro sites, and SC sites. These all work in unison to provide the needed coverage and capacity.

Terrain – The mountainous terrain and forestland are a challenge for RF.
– The lake causes reflections and interference. Sites need to be strategically
located close to the lake (where the people are) and pointed away from the lake.

User density – Events in South Lake Tahoe draw a large amount of people in very close proximity. Wireless broadband – A large amount of cellular usage from inside the home. – Tourists want to stay connected with work and entertainment.

Why are we expanding the wireless network?
More people than ever before rely on wireless connections to managetheir lives and businesses. Companies are expanding their wireless networks to meet the growing demands of today and tomorrow.
