BOOK 99 RAu 837 <br />Wireless <br />Above Ground <br />.t <br />Underground <br />At the conclusion of the slidefilm presentation, Commissioner <br />Bird asked if the various users of towers transmit the same type of <br />radio waves whereby additional height provides additional coverage <br />and where it would be advantageous for somebody to be on the top <br />and less advantageous for somebody to be in the middle or the <br />bottom of the mount. His question included whether they transmit <br />on different types of frequency wave lengths where they could be <br />lower on the tower and still accomplish their purpose versus the <br />users on the top. <br />Mr. Kreines explained that they all could be lower than they <br />are because the examples shown are in other parts of the country <br />and it is the same technology. This is really a function of RF <br />design which one would be led to believe are all locked in with <br />cells and cannot be changed. Mr. Kreines stated that he was trying <br />to make the point that they can be changed so that the cells can <br />get smaller and interlocking can occur. <br />Commissioner Macht clarified that generally the higher the <br />tower, the broader the range depending on the line of sight and <br />interference of frequencies. <br />Commissioner Bird asked about co -location, and Mr. Kreines <br />stated that every single -use tower that allows co -location wants to <br />stay at the lowest point and have the additional carrier added to <br />the top. <br />Mr. Kreines emphasized that the purview of the County is land <br />use, environment, and infrastructure. <br />28 <br />NOVEMBER 13, 1996 <br />� � r <br />
