RE: Proposed US WEST Wireless' ROW antenna site OMA061 at SW corner of 133rd Ct.
and Q St., Omaha
Dear Board Members:
Qwest Wireless is scheduled to deploy a PCS-CDMA wireless communications system in
• Nebraska(Omaha-Lincoln-Fremont) and Iowa(Council Bluffs,North West Pottawattamie County)
in the fourth quarter of 2000. As part of the initial phase of the build-out process we have proposed
to locate a cell-sit on the South West corner of 133rd Ct. and Q St.
At a total structure height of 50' this site will cover heavily foliaged residential and
commercial areas in Millard. It will also carry heavy traffic along 132nd—L—Q and Hwy. 275.
There is a ridge on West along 144th St. and the terrain slopes up steeply to W, SW. Please refer to
accompanying coverage and schematic plots for additional information.
This letter is to communicate the engineering and logical reasoning employed in proposing
that we situate our cell-site at this particular location.
Before choosing an appropriate location for any cell-site we carry out extensive computer
simulation studies of expected propagation profiles from our proposed sites in the surrounding/
adjoining areas to identify `poor' coverage spots. We then select friendly locations via numerous
site-visits with our real estate personnel who help us arrange for actual `drive-tests' to calibrate
our mathematical/simulation models with live data. During a drive-test, an antenna connected
to a portable transmitter is hoisted from a temporary tower at one of these friendly locations at an
approximate required height and data from the transmission is collected from a test-vehicle that is
driven according to a pre-determined drive-test route. Finally, coverage and capacity
requirements are evaluated based on results from the field and from mathematical models in
• simulation that have been calibrated with this drive-test data.
08/10/00 1 of 2 1:35 PM
L is now
Qwestir-
• If a candidate meets our coverage and capacity requirements and does not cause interfere
with other sites in the system then we approve the location and proceed to lease and zone the site in
consultation with our real estate group. In a CDMA network if signal from any site `spill out' of its
intended coverage area and `encroach' on area of coverage of adjoining or any other site in the
system then it interferes destructively with the other sites' operation. Primarily the noise floor in the
network increases such that the quality of our system deteriorates drastically to the point that none
of the sites engaged in this phenomenon can support acceptable capacity or are able to handle calls
with adequate quality.
Analysis of mathematical simulation and investigation of drive-test data for OMA061 at
133`d Ct. and Q St. proved the feasibility of constructing an antenna site to meet the proposed
coverage and capacity requirements of this search-area.
We would like to mention that there were no other viable existing structures in the 50'+
range within our search area to provide for capacity and coverage in the vicinity. Furthermore, the
existing AirTouch tower located to the West of our proposed ROW is right in the Millard Airfield
flight path and therefore we would have to co-locate below the existing antennas which will not
meet our coverage requirements adequately.
In light of the information provided in this letter and the accompanying coverage plots and
schematics we request the board to give careful consideration to our application for a ROW at this
location in Omaha, to enable Qwest Wireless to provide seamless coverage in the heart of Millard
• in South West Omaha. Without this site we will have inadequate coverage in the vicinity.
Please feel free to call me on my mobile phone at (402)415-8268 should additional items be
necessary or should you need further clarifications. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
1 &-e~)-7-eeze-4,( ( ,--

RE: Qwest Wireless, LLC
Site OMA-061
133rd Court & "Q" Street
To Whom It May Concern:
Qwest Wireless, LLC (QVV) is proposing to construct Wireless Facilities on Public Right-Of-Way
(ROW), west of 132' and south of Q Street in Omaha, Nebraska. This is part of our initiative
with the City of Omaha to construct Wireless Facilities in a manner that is less obtrusive on the
environment and more aesthetically pleasing to the public.
With regard to the City of Omaha's Wireless Service Facilities Application Checklist, we
submit the following explanations:
Application:
X 1. Complete application form, properly signed.
X 2. A site plan, drawn to scale, showing the following:
a. See drawings for detail.
b. Boundary lines are referenced to Property Lines for the ROW.
c. Contour lines are shown but drainage will not be affected as we will
not be excavating or grading at the site.
d. No site improvements such as parking, access or storage.
e. No existing structures on the ROW except for those utility and
streetlight structures noted.
f. No landscape plan (see drawings).
X 3. Operating Statement:
a. Proposed use - PCS Wireless Communication Facility utilizing a
direct-bury silhouette pole.
b. Silhouette pole with total height of 50 feet. See drawings for detail.
c. Governmental access easement to be provided as soon as available.
d. Silhouette pole is able to support collocation. Collocation must pass
interference and structural analysis.
e. Leases to be negotiated as needed.
•
PC \P

4. Site Analysis:
a. New service, no existing coverage. See attached coverage map
representing the impact of the absence of this proposed site.
(see map 4a)
b. See coverage plot provided representing the predicted coverage this
proposed site will provide. (see map 4b)
c. See attached map marking proposed site (P) and alternate site (A).
(see map 4c)
d. There are no rooftops in the search ring that meet the coverage
objective. The existing tower in the area will not provide us with the
necessary height we require.
e. Due to the Millard Airfield flight path, we would have to co-locate below
the existing antennaes on an existing tower. This would not provide
us with the necessary height we require to provide optimum service to
this area. There are no buildings in the search ring with sufficient
height to meet our coverage objectives.
f. The tower located to the west of our site is right in the Millard Airfield
flight path. This requires us to co-locate below the existing antennaes.
As shown in our coverage maps, this would not provide us with the
coverage needed for this area.
g. Attached is map showing proposed site and optimum coverage for this
area. Attached with map is RF Engineer's explanation of why this site
• is necessary to the Qwest wireless network in Omaha. (see map 4g)
h. This silhouette pole has been designed to support at least one more
set of similar antennaes or other collocation need.
i. No significant disturbance of the existing grassy area or vegetation.
Silhouette pole is direct-bury and a very small pad will be utilized for
the electronics cabinet (see zoning drawing details). Trenching will be
required for electric and telephone services. Topography will remain
the same. See attached rendering illustrating the impact of the
proposed site on the area. (see rendering 41)
j. This is a new site for coverage, therefore no historical call data exists.
k. See attached summary

Supplemental Information:
1. No Annual Report to submit, no facilities presently exist.
2. All sites are not submitted to the FCC. Only those sites which need to be filed
with the FAA will be submitted to the FCC.
Thank you for your consideration. We look forward to responding to any questions or concerns
you have with our project.
