AT&T Small Cell Node Site ID: CRAN_RLOS_NWPTB_07 Alternative Sites Analysis March 30, 2021 City Streetlight No. 2629 located in the right of way on Jamboree Road. PA2021-071 2 Map of Small Cell Node CRAN_RLOS_NWPTB_007 and Alternative Sites On this aerial map, AT&T’s proposed Small Cell Node NWPTB_007 is designated by a yellow marker and the alternative sites are identified by red markers. PA2021-071 3 Proposed Small Cell Node CRAN_RLOS_NWPTB_007 •AT&T is committed to providing and improving wireless telecommunications services and faster data rates throughout the City of Newport Beach. •Rather than construct traditional macro facilities, AT&T’s solution is to deploy very small facilities, called “small cells,” that can be installed on utility infrastructure in the public right‐of‐way. •A small cell is a low‐powered cell site,which, when grouped with other small cells,can provide coverage in areas where traditional macro wireless facilities are discouraged. •Small cells are effective tools to provide and improve critical wireless services with a minimal impact. By placing small cells in areas where AT&T’s existing facilities are constrained and where AT&T experiences high network traffic, AT&T can address existing and forecasted demands. •Small Cell Node CRAN_RLOS_NWPTB_007 will improve signal quality and capacity within AT&T’s wireless network in this portion of Newport Beach. PA2021-071 4 •AT&T proposes to place a Small Cell Node on a replacement streetlight pole in the public right‐ of‐way. (Lat/Long 33.627294, ‐117.877272). The proposed node is located on the east side of Jamboree Rd. •AT&T proposed node is a stealth facility under City Code §20.49.030(N) and is designed to be as visually inconspicuous as possible. •The streetlight is located in the public right of way just below a residential neighborhood and is the least intrusive of all the locations considered in this analysis because it is on a main road and is heavily shielded by trees just above the slope behind it. • AT&T has determined that this location is viable in that necessary utilities are available and this location is feasible from a radio frequency perspective. The location is free of obstructions and has good line of site to meet coverage objectives.AT&T will need to replace the existing streetlight to accommodate a Small Cell. Small Cell Node CRAN_RLOS_NWPTB_007 -Proposed Location City Streetlight No. 2629 located on the east side of Jamboree Rd. •Photo Simulation of Proposed Small Cell LED LIGHT FIXTURE, TO MATCH EXISTING---~ PA2021-071 5 Small Cell Node CRAN_RLOS_NWPTB_007 -Proposed Location City Streetlight No. 2629 located on the east side of Jamboree Rd. approximately 910’ north of San Joaquin Hills Rd. •Additional Photographs of Proposed Small Cell location PA2021-071 6 •Alternative Site #1, is a city owned concrete streetlight. It is approximately 1060’ north of San Joaquin Hills Rd. and 178’ south of the proposed node. •The pole is similar in size and style to our proposed location. •This design is also a stealth facility under City Code §20.49.030(N) and can be designed to be as visually inconspicuous as possible. •This streetlight was also considered but was not chosen because this alternative site is located near a storm drain that may interfere with the foundation at the time of construction. Small Cell Node CRAN_RLOS_NWPTB_007 –Alternative Site #1 City streetlight pole located in the median of Newport Center Drive approximately 1060’ north of San Joaquin Hills Rd. PA2021-071 7 •Alternative Site #2 is also a a city owned concrete streetlight. It is located approximately 700’ north of San Joaquin Hills Rd. and 180’ south of our proposed node. •This design used here would also be a stealth facility under City Code §20.49.030(N) and can be designed to be as visually inconspicuous as possible. •A small cell at this alternative location is would also work but we chose the location one pole north because it had better shielding from the residents above and is closer to the servicing sector. Small Cell Node CRAN_RLOS_NWPTB_007 –Alternative Site #2 City streetlight pole located 180’ south of our proposed location on the east side of Jamboree and approximately 700’ north of San Joaquin Hills Rd. PA2021-071 8 •Alternative Site #3, is a city owned streetlight located in the public right‐of‐way on the west side of Macarthur Ave. approximately 165’ south of San Miguel Drive. •This design is a stealth facility under City Code §20.49.030(N) and can be designed to be as visually inconspicuous as possible. •A small cell at this alternative location is feasible but was least preferred for the following three reasons. •First, the pole is located near a storm drain. •Second, this alternate location is very close to the turnout from San Joaquin Hills Rd. and would prove to be a more extensive traffic control plan and more impact on traffic coming north from San Joaquin Hills Rd. intersection. •Third, this alternate location is furthest from the servicing sector and would fail to meet the coverage objectives. Small Cell Node CRAN_RLOS_NWPTB_007 –Alternative Site #3 City streetlight pole located on the east side of Jamboree Rd. approximately 350’ of our proposed location and 545’ north of San Joaquin Hills Dr. PA2021-071 9 Proposed Small Cell Node CRAN_RLOS_NWPTB_07 Conclusion •The proposed small cell node CRAN_RLOS_NWPTB_007 is an integral part of an overall small cell solution to help close AT&T’s significant service coverage gap in this portion of Newport Beach. •The proposed small cell will provide wireless telecommunications service and faster data rates to the area businesses, residents & visitors. •The proposed small cell is the best available and least intrusive means to help AT&T provide and improve critical wireless services in the surrounding areas, adding low‐power, low‐profile equipment to utility infrastructure in the public right‐of‐way. •The use of a replacement streetlight allows a stealth design for the proposed equipment and antenna. •The proposed installation will enhance wireless communication with the least visual impact to this residential community.
