External PIM is Still a Challenge!
Slide 3
DTP overlay confirms when PIM is external.
But where is it? And how long does it take to find the precise location?
Relative distance
Remove steel wool and see distance to site PIM
DTP with steel wool marks antenna
Steel wool as “PIM marker”

RBW = Auto
Pre-amp = ON
Trace A = Average
# of averages = 2 or 3
Trace B = max hold
Sweep Mode = Burst Detect
SpecA Display During a PIM Hunt
Slide 14
• Set upper limit a few dB lower than max level seen by PIM analyzer
• Turn Limit Alarm “ON”
• Set volume to maximum
• When probe is at the PIM source, signal level increases
• Listen for audible alarm to ID exact location
Things we are Finding…
Slide 15
• Loose hose clamp behind / below antenna
• Tightening hose clamp gained 15 dB PIM improvement
Things we are Finding…
Slide 16
• “Hot spots” under roofing material
• “Hot spots” on parapet face
• Covering with “PIM blanket” eliminated the PIM sources
Things we are Finding…
Slide 17
• “Hot spot” on other side of stealth panel
• Covering small area with “PIM blanket” material reduced PIM by 20 dB!

Colocation of wireless sites in the ROW for IoT
• What is the ROW• Why do some of us care?
Small cells/oDAS• What structures are
available? • What else is/can go in the
ROW? IoT: • Advanced metering
infrastructure• Distribution
automation• Smart city applications • Sensors
Agenda
What is the ROW?
•Road that is open to the public and maintained and controlled by government
• Includes land beyond the edge of the road
•Often includes public utility private property
•Ownership of the dirt varies•Property lines not always easy to delineate (state, county, muni, private?)
•State and local law vary
What is the ROW?
Why does this group care?
•Cheap colocation of small cells & oDAS close to cellular customers
•Customary practices
Why does this group care?
Why does this group care?
Why does this group care?
What structures?
•Need to be shared by all users
•Wood, concrete, and metal joint use utility poles
•Street furniture•Ad hoc poles
What structures?
Traditional uses
•Power distribution and transmission
•Monopoly telco•Cable TV•CLECs•Municipal fire alarm and traffic control
•Lighting
IoT uses - AMI
•Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) for electric, gas, water
•Mostly electric •Loves the pole top•Super dense networks
SUPER DENSE!
• 7,000 pole top nodes• 11,000 square miles bathed in 2.4Ghz RF
• Connects 620,000 meters
• How many pole top small cells radiating in Maine today?
IoT uses – distribution automation
•Distribution automation (DA) for electric, gas, water
•Mostly electric •Reclosers, fuse savers, capacitor banks, voltage sensing
IoT uses – smart city applications
•Lighting •Wi-Fi •Public safety •DPW
IoT uses – Sensors
•Cameras •Public safety •Spectrum sensing
Sounds like a lot of ad hoc networks?
•That’s a lot of ad hoc networks in the ROW
•Public vs private networks
•Emergence of lower power/low bandwidth networks
•5G trumps?

Agenda
The Connected World
A GLOBAL PHENOMENON
• 25% CAGR Growth in Data Globally Cisco VNI Includes land beyond the edge of the road
• 2.3ZB Annual global IP traffic will surpass the zettabyte threshold in 2016, and will reach 2.3 ZB by 2020 -Cisco VNI
• 24Billion Connected Devices by 2024 -Cisco VNI
• $1.3T Spent on network services globally in 2016 Deloitte's Telecommunications Outlook
Location Matters in The Connected World
What Matter’s Past, Now and In The Future
•Past• Tethered• Client Server• Building = Space
•Present• Mobile• Cloud• Building = Productivity
•Future• Predictive Mobile• Edge Cloud• Building = Value Creation
Use, Value and Scale Change
CRE & Cloud
#1 Impact on User Experience with Cloud Computing?
Connectivity
#1 Trend in Applications?Move to Cloud
Workers using Cloud applications are 13% more productive than desktop applications.
Software’s impact on business and its shift to the cloud means connectivity is increasingly a critical infrastructure when selecting office, data center, warehouse, manufacturing and DR locations.
Impact to CRE Time on Market +-Lease Rate +-Lease Length +-Occupancy +-
IOT Meets CRE
Sensors + NO Connectivity = NO VALUE
Security????
WiFi?, LTE? Broadband?
Value? Financial Return on Efficiency GainsImproved Safety/Security/InsuranceProperty Differentiation
IOT Goals in CRE- Energy Savings- Security- Operational Efficiency- Tenant Satisfaction
Wireless Meets LEED Certified
• Wi-Fi is only part of the answer
• Wireless is one of the most visible decision points in the lease decision process
• Wireless is one of the most common complaints in tenant experiences
• Regulatory Compliance Matters – Missed Capital Efficiency Opportunity
80 percent of all cellular traffic occurs indoors
When most people are faced with an emergency, they instinctively reach for their mobile device – not a landline – to call 911.
The Business Case for Communications Infrastructure
• Lease Rate
• Occupancy Rate
• Lease Term
• Asset Value
• CAMS
• ROIC
Millennials will make up nearly 75% of the workforce by 202
Global building energy management systems (BEMS) is expected to grow to $5.2 billion by 2020, at a CAGR of 17 percent from 2017
Increasingly complex buildings produce a growing amount of data that can be used to manage systems, increase efficiency, improve safety, and support a higher quality of life for end-users.
This data is often generated via sensors that are integrated into different systems and distributed throughout the building.
Forward-thinking contractors are setting new standards for innovation, creating programs to deploy new workflows, leveraging sensors and data to improve safety during the construction process, and integrating sensors and smart networks within completed buildings.
The Connected World

Carriers• Upstream pressure
& downstream deliverables
• Expedited permitting
• Burdensome process
Jurisdictions• Purposeful process• Volume of requests• Manpower• “Land Grab”• Ensure Accuracy &
Accountability
Be mindful of the evolving nature of siting and permitting, create realistic expectations
Costs
Carriers• Pre-deployment
(Engineering, Permitting, Franchise)
• Deployment (poles, attachment, power)
• Price compression• Competition
Jurisdictions• Statutes• Fair compensation• Silos• Revenue• Reinvestment
Look for synergies, partner, leverage scale
Fiber & WIFI
Carriers• Access to ROW• Capital Intensive• Competition• Consolidation
Jurisdictions• Foundation of
Smart City Infrastructure
• Control Scale• Long Term Capital
Investment• Serve public
Fiber & WIFI presents opportunities for P3’s & common element for Smart City Infrastructure
Trust & Communication
Carriers• Presume ignorance• Fragmentation• Outsourced silos
Jurisdictions• Duty to protect
public interest• Carriers Fail to
deliver• Insulation &
Isolation
Trust, communication and citizenship are paramount for telecommunications ecosystem to flourish
Take aways for bridge building
• Authority: Help the process evolve. Assume the role of educators and innovators.
• Aesthetics: Concealment costs, but the cost of uncontrolled expansion is blight. Compromise has to be a bigger factor than profit.
• Process & Timing: Be mindful of the evolving nature of siting and permitting, create realistic expectations
• Costs: Look for synergies, partner, leverage scale • Fiber & WIFI presents opportunities for P3’s & common
