Project Summary
v EXTENET PROPOSES TO INSTALL A SMALL-CELL WIRELESS FACILITIES ON A CITY-OWNED POLE IN FRONT OF 1544 W. KENNETH RD.
v WITH A TYPICAL RANGE OF 30 FEET TO SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET, SMALL CELLS ARE COMPACT, LOW- POWER BASE STATIONS THAT OPERATE IN A WIDE RANGE OF FREQUENCIES. WHILE LEGACY MACRO
NETWORKS OFTEN COVER A RADIUS OF SEVERAL MILES, SMALL CELLS CAN BETTER SERVE SPECIFIC
HIGH-TRAFFIC AREAS WHERE THERE IS A NEED TO ALLEVIATE NETWORK CONGESTION RELATED TO VOICE, DATA AND VIDEO.
