21. HOW DID WE
GET HERE?

22. 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!
HOW DI D WE GET HERE?

desk in 1929

23. 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.

• 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

92. 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

93. 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
• Class 2 circuits can be installed using conventional surface-mounted cable (no
conduit, MC or armored cable)
• Class 2 circuits do not require the authorization of a certified electrical personnel
(permitting and licensing)
• Two methods of circuit protection - Article 725 of the National Electric Code
[not article 800]
Composite fiber/copper cable
CL2P-OF (Class 2 Plenum Cable Optical Fiber)

94. • Current limiting panels distribute centralized power over copper cable to multiple
remote iDAS nodes
• Panels include circuitry to limit the total power per circuit to 100VA or must use
an aggregation unit
• Maximum distance dictated by wire gauge and voltage

95. Non-Class 2 Power Drivers
• AC Powered Remotes
• High power consumption remotes
• Distances exceeded 2500ft
• Jurisdictional restrictions
• Same conceptual layout as Class 2 Solution, except single circuit cable for
conductor & conduit/armored cable installed by electrician
• AC remote fed layouts driven a large UPS in the Headend offers many of the
same benefits of a Class 2 DC solution

96. Headend Power
• Standard runtime is generally 4 to 8 hours
• Vast range in loads, from 1000W to 15kva
• Equipment voltage commonly -48 vDC
– Can create a dual power system requirement with AC for remotes & DC for
Headend

102. 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.
Operations Support is for the Life of the Service

103. Operations Support Planning – Hardware & Management
• Business planning / budgeting
• Purpose / objectives / SLAs to support
• SLA – Uptime / Response time - 3rd party support agreements
• Hardware selection – include neutral host support requirements
• Network (including management network) design in redundancy

142. 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.

143. 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.

144. 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.

145. 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).

146. 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.

Siting Policies, Report & Order
(WC 11-59; WT 13-238, 13-32)
NEDAS NYC Summit

148. • “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”

149. • “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)

150. • 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:

151. 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

152. (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)

153. • 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

154. • 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

Telecommunications Act of 1996 § 704
(47 U.S.C. §332[c][7][A])
Wilson, Elser, Moskwitz, Edelman & Dicker LLP

155. • No unreasonable discrimination
– Must apply the same rules to similar classes of service
• But flexibility for addressing different visual, aesthetic or safety concerns
– Sprint Spectrum, L.P. v. Willoth, 176 F.3d 630, 639 (2d Cir. 1999)
• May not prohibit or have effect of prohibiting
– Not limited to outright ban
– Local government may not deny application for a facility that is the least
intrusive means for closing a significant gap in coverage
• Sprint Spectrum, L.P. v. Willoth, 176 F.3d 630, 643 (2d Cir. 1999)
– “Significant gap” probably means significant gap in carrier’s coverage,
not wireless coverage generally
• De minimus gap need not be covered

Substantive Limitations
Wilson, Elser, Moskwitz, Edelman & Dicker LLP

156. • Writing does not have to be formal decision
– Letter denying application, plus sufficiently clear reasons in
contemporaneous written record is sufficient
• T-Mobile South, LLC v. City of Roswell, Ga., __ U.S. __ (2014)
• Reasonable period of time
– 150 days for new antennas; 90 days for co-locations or modifications
• FCC Declaratory Ruling, 2009 WL 3868811
– Moratoria are ineffective
• FCC Declaratory Ruling, 2014 WL 5374631
– Runs from determination that application is complete
• Municipality has 30 days to decide or application is deemed complete and time to
decide runs from date of submission
• Can be tolled by notifying applicant within 10 days that application is incomplete

158. • Application may be required
– But documentation limited to determining
whether proposed modification qualifies
• What is an existing facility?
– Generally, an approved facility that already
hosts telecommunications equipment
• A utility pole that does not host
telecommunications facilities is not an existing
facility for this purpose
