Capacity is the need for more wireless resources. Cell sites have a limited amount of resources to handle voice calls, data connections, and data volume. When these limits are reached,
user experience quickly degrades. This could mean customers may no longer be able to make/receive calls nor be able to browse the internet. It could also mean that webpages will be
very slow to download.
Coverage is the need to expand wireless service into an area that either has no service or bad service. The request for service often comes from customers or emergency personnel. Expansion
of service could mean improving the signal levels in a large apartment complex or new residential community. It could also mean providing new service along a newly built highway.
Introduction:
There are two main drivers that prompt the need for a new cell site. One is coverage and the other is capacity.

RF Justification: Neal Road Relocation
The existing site is providing reliable AWS LTE in-building and vehicular coverage that stretches from Durham Dayton HWY on Hwy 99 up 4 miles north west. This site covers the nearby
population and provides coverage to the travelers on Highway 99.
The existing Neal Road site, lease will be cancelled in the near future and we will lose the coverage for that area.
Due to the rural character of the area, there are no suitable tall structures in the vicinity on which to re-locate. Therefore, there are no feasible alternatives for this facility.
Proposed Neal Road (Relo) site will provide reliable AWS LTE in-building coverage, as well as reliable in-vehicle coverage in the area, and will also maintain positive customer experience
along the highway.
A graphic depiction of the AWS LTE coverage is shown on the coverage maps. Coverage maps provide a graphical depiction of the anticipated level of signal, and therefore the coverage
provided by a site at a given location. The areas in green reflect good coverage that meets or exceeds thresholds to provide consistent and reliable network coverage in homes and in
vehicles. The areas in yellow and gray depict decreasing levels of coverage, respectively, with yellow areas generally representing reliable in-vehicle coverage only, and gray areas
depicting poor service areas with outdoor coverage unsuitable for in-vehicle use. Gray and unshaded areas do not receive reliable service.
