Over 170 Years Ago Morse introduced the electric Telegraph.

32 years later, in 1876 Bell invented the telephone.

128 years ago, the first coin-operated telephone was installed – and now they’re becoming extinct.

Less than 100 Years with Desk Phones!

Fantasy books and science fiction visionaries set the scene for today’s mobile world.

1931 a book that describes “a science fiction nightmare city with mobile phones and moving walkways”

1945, in a Wireless World article, Arthur C. Clarke first proposed Satellite communications.

Powering Indoor Distributed Antenna Systems

Headend

Coax Cabling

Fiber Cabling

• Power requirement for IDAS network split into two segments: Headend & remote access unit (RAU)

• Main interface unit

• Optical converter unit

• System controller

• Battery recharge time

• Future growth

• Remote access units

• Remote hub units

Headend

RAU

Page 92: NEDAS NYC 2015-March 31, 2015 all presentations final

Basics of DAS Power

• Local – AC UPS or DC Plant with Batteries at each remote hub

• Remote – All equipment is fed from a centralized power system in the Headend

Key Considerations

• Length of Back-up time required

• Availability of AC power at each remote

• Cable Distance from Head End to farthest remote

• Space availability for power equipment and batteries

• Individual remote loads and voltage

• Maintenance

• Class 2 Architecture

Page 93: NEDAS NYC 2015-March 31, 2015 all presentations final

NEC CLASS 2 Fundamentals

• NEC Class 2 Circuits – 20V to 60V & < 100VA

• Class 2 circuits are considered safe from a fire initiation standpoint and provide

acceptable protection from electrical shock

Operations Support is for the life of the service, it should be a key consideration during the design phase, with a focus on key SLA requirements from the contract.

SLAs are usually written for each carrier on a Neutral Host system, be prepared to manage each as unique:

• Uptime (outage time, should not include impairments)• Response time to alarms• Response time to calls / email / portal communication• Mean Time To Restore (usually based on severity)• Time to Dispatch / On-site• Exception / Force Majeure

Design a cost effective solution to meet those requirements.

ACCELERATION F BROADBAND DEPLOYMENT (FEBRUARY 9, 2015)

• Provided definition of “Antenna”.

• Clarifies that Collocation exclusions apply to all non-tower structures, not just buildings.

• Clarifies that interior deployments are subject to the same exclusions (and inclusions) as exterior deployments.

• NEPA exclusion for new & replacement facilities in Aboveground Utility ROW if no substantial increase. No NHPA exclusion here.

• Eliminates the requirement for SHPO review of Collocations on Utility poles based solely on age, provided that size limits are met (3/6/17)

• Allows for modification of some existing facilities on non-tower structures over 45 years old.

Page 143: NEDAS NYC 2015-March 31, 2015 all presentations final

ACCELERATION OF BROADBAND DEPLOYMENT – NEW AND REPLACEMENT STRUCTURES IN UTILITY ROW

• The FCC adopted new NEPA categorical exclusion for new and replacement small structures within active above-ground utility corridors, provided there is no substantial increase in size (10% or 20 vertical feet) over existing structures and that ground disturbance is limited to the proximity of the new or replacement structure within the easement.

• Important - This is a NEPA exclusion, not an NHPA exclusion. SHPO Review Required in Same Manner as Prior Utility Exclusion, so that Exclusion does not hold in a historic district, for instance. Tribal consultation is required for all new, non-replacement Tower Structures.

Page 144: NEDAS NYC 2015-March 31, 2015 all presentations final

ACCELERATION OF BROADBAND DEPLOYMENT – UTILITY COLLOCATIONS

• FCC adopted exclusion for collocation on existing Utility poles/structures where there is no new ground disturbance and the antennas and equipment do not exceed a specified volume (3 cf. each antenna/enclosure, not to exceed 6 cf. in the aggregate and a total 17 cf. for all equipment enclosures across all wireless implementations at a specific location or node). Not applicable to:

• Collocations on light poles, traffic lights, or any non-Utility structures.

• Not applicable within 250 feet of a historic district

• Not applicable on utility structures that are listed in or eligible for the National Register, or where there is a documented complaint relative to historic properties.

Page 145: NEDAS NYC 2015-March 31, 2015 all presentations final

ACCELERATION OF BROADBAND DEPLOYMENT – ON EXISTING NON-TOWER STRUCTURES OVER 45 YEARS OLD

• FCC adopted an exclusion for collocation/modification of a facility located on a Non-Tower Structure where there are pre-existing antennas and no new ground disturbance.

• Exclusion provides size and height restrictions (antennas no more than 3 feet wider or taller).

• New visible antennas must be within 10 feet, as measured from centerlines for visible antennas.

• Views of new and replacement antennas must encompass existing antennas.

• No new equipment cabinets may be visible from adjacent streets and public spaces. (see next slide).

Page 146: NEDAS NYC 2015-March 31, 2015 all presentations final

ACCELERATION OF BROADBAND DEPLOYMENT – ON EXISTING NON-TOWER STRUCTURES OVER 45 YEARS OLD

• Pre-existing antennas must not have been deployed using this exclusion.

• New/replacement antennas must comply with existing zoning and historic preservation requirements for existing antennas (i.e., concealment, painting to match existing surfaces, etc.).

• Exclusion not applicable within 250 feet of a historic district, on Non-Tower Structures that are listed in or eligible for the National Register, or where there is a documented complaint relative to adverse effects to historic properties.

• “a State or local government may not deny, and shall approve, any eligible facilities request for a modification of an existing wireless tower or base station that does not substantially change the physical dimensions of such tower or base station.”

Section 6409 entitled “Facility Modifications”

Page 149: NEDAS NYC 2015-March 31, 2015 all presentations final

• “eligible facilities request” is defined as any request for modification of an existing wireless tower or base station that involves

(a) collocation of new transmission equipment;

(b) removal of transmission equipment; or

(c) replacement of transmission equipment.

Section 6409 Provisions (cont’d)

Page 150: NEDAS NYC 2015-March 31, 2015 all presentations final

• Eliminate ambiguities in interpretation and facilitate the zoning and permitting process for collocations and other modifications to existing towers and base stations

• Avoid delay of addressing these issues in the courts

Section 6409 Purposes of Regulation:

Page 151: NEDAS NYC 2015-March 31, 2015 all presentations final

A modification would be a substantial change if it meets any of the following criteria:

(1) For towers outside public right-of-way, an increase in height of the tower by more than 10%, or by the height of one additional antenna array with separation from the nearest existing antenna not to exceed twenty feet, whichever is greater; for towers within public right-of-way and for all base stations, an increase in the height of the tower or base station by more than 10% or ten feet, whichever is greater;

(2) For towers outside public right-of-way, it protrudes from the edge of the tower more than twenty feet, or more than the width of the tower structure at the level of the appurtenance, whichever is greater; and for those towers within the right-of-way and for all base stations, it protrudes from the edge of the structure more than six feet;

Section 6409: Substantial Change

Page 152: NEDAS NYC 2015-March 31, 2015 all presentations final

(3) An installation of more than the standard number of new equipment cabinets for the technology involved, but not to exceed four cabinets;

(4) Any excavation or deployment outside the current site of the tower or base station;

(5) An installation that would defeat the existing concealment elements of the tower or base station; or

(6) An installation not complying with conditions associated with prior approval of construction or modification of the tower or base station, unless non-compliance is due to an increase in height, increase in width, addition of cabinets, or new excavation that does not exceed the corresponding “substantial change” thresholds identified above.

Section 6409: Substantial Change (cont’d)

Page 153: NEDAS NYC 2015-March 31, 2015 all presentations final

• State/local government may only require applicants to provide documentation reasonably related to determining whether the request is an eligible facilities request.

• State/local government has 60 days for review, timeframe can be tolled by:

Mutual agreement; or

If reviewing body informs applicant within 30 days that application is incomplete

Section 6409: Application Review

Page 154: NEDAS NYC 2015-March 31, 2015 all presentations final

• Recognizes local authority over “placement, construction and

modification” of telecommunications facilities

• But local governments may not

– “unreasonably discriminate against providers of functionally equivalent

services”

– “prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting the provision of personal

wireless services”

– regulate on the basis of the environmental effects of radio frequency

emissions

• And local governments must

– act “within a reasonable period of time after the request is duly filed”

– if denying an application, do so in a written decision supported by

substantial evidence in a written record

• You can and should– Have a local law that establishes procedures and

standards consistent with the limitations established by federal law

– Treat the application much like a site plan application (other than timing)

– Hire consultants, particularly if there is a real issue of “significant gap” or “least intrusive means”

• Do not– Delay

– Discuss radiofrequency emissions in a decision, unless applicant has not met federal standards
