Dear Madam Mayor and Council Members:
Installation of New Fiber Optic Cable has been Initiated and is Complete in several areas throughout the City of Goleta
I believe, Cox Cable, Crown Castle, and AT&T have already secured partnership arrangements to install fiber optic cable throughout the City of Goleta as based upon City data and conversations with related personal and contractors. Attachment 1 presents the Site Schematics of recently installed underground fiber optic cable on the street where I primarily reside (i.e., Evergreen Dr., Goleta).
New Small Cell Wireless Facilities have been Deployed at multiple locations throughout the City which include dominant carriers such as AT&T and Verizon
As previously stated per Reference 2, the City of Goleta’s Department of Public Works most certainly has a current WI-FI inventory of Small Cell Wireless Facility (SCWF) assets maintained, I believe, by Melissa Angeles, Assistant Engineer, Department of Public Works (805) 690 – 5122. Additionally, I believe, approximately 10 or more new SCWF have been installed in 2022 by Crown Castle on street light utility poles throughout the City of Goleta. Furthermore, there exists multiple relatively new SCWFs along Cathedral Oaks and adjacent areas.
Future Actions: It is Highly recommended that the City determine where each Wireless Carrier Suffers from a Gap in its Personal Wireless Service (PCS) in an attempt to minimize the placement of SCWFs and Wireless Telecommunication Facilities (WTFs)
In short, one technique to accomplish this task is to perform a “Drive Test” throughout City streets to determine carrier specific (i.e., AT&T, Verizon) “Cell Signal Strength” employing an Android Smart Phone and an App. such as LTE Discovery for Professional Engineers.
Briefly, the below screenshot is from https://powerfulsignal.com/cell-signal-strength/

Attachment 2 presents typical data and screen shots collected during a drive test that I perform to support an appeal of a SCWF located within the County of Santa Barbara. In short, data from the drive test determined that AT&T had “Very Good” to “Good” Signal Strengths (i.e., RSRP values of - 87 dBm to - 95 dBm) at and near the proposed SCWF site whereby Crown Castle (AT&T’s installation contractor) decided to withdraw their SCWF Development Plan application one day before the appeal hearing.
Thank you for your time,
C. Dave Gaughen
