  1. Slide 1: Evolving Wireless Networks: Demands, Designs and Safety

    Evolving Wireless Networks Demands, Designs and Safety SBA Canada 2013

  2. Slide 2: NEEDS - Evolving Consumer Data Demands

    NEEDS - Evolving Consumer Data Demands So what’s driving wireless site growth?? 1. Smartphone availability and adoption - 50% of Canadian Mobile Phone Users are Aged 18 to 34 (Source - CWTA). 2. New wireless devices – eReaders, iPad’s, Tablets, Rocket Sticks, NetBooks, etc. 3. The Data Tsunami - wir

  3. Slide 3: IMPACT - Evolving Wireless Networks Designs

    IMPACT - Evolving Wireless Networks Designs  New technology is driving new network designs parameters:  High capacity 4G Network Build-outs are required by all incumbents to meet huge forecasted data growth  New spectrum being deployed requires increased number of lower power sites closer to end

  4. Slide 4: RESULT – Different Network Infrastructure Needs

    RESULT – Different Network Infrastructure Needs  With the evolving consumer consumption demands and the resulting enhanced network designs, tower locations of the past (industrial areas) are no longer adequate. Today’s wireless carriers now require: 1. sites to be lower and closer together (2-3 km

  5. Slide 5: The Evolution of Shrinking Cell Site Densities

    The Evolution of Shrinking Cell Site Densities 20 Kms 10 Kms 2-3 Kms 200’-300’ 150’-200’ 100’-180’ 10% Penetration 50% Penetration 75%+ Penetration Mobile coverage Mobile/In-Home coverage Ubiquitous coverage 5 5

  6. Slide 6: Shrinking Cell Site Densities & Impact on RF Exposure

    Shrinking Cell Site Densities & Impact on RF Exposure  World Health Organization Published Report  RF exposures from base stations and wireless technologies in publicly accessible areas (including schools and hospitals) are normally thousands of times below international standards.  RF exposures

  7. Slide 7: Shrinking Cell Site Densities & Impact on RF Exposure

    Shrinking Cell Site Densities & Impact on RF Exposure  Shrinking cell site densities reduce health risks by:  Reducing transmission power requirements for cellular devices due to reduced distance base station antenna.  Reduced transmission power required for cellular base station (to reach a hand

  8. Slide 8: Shrinking Cell Site Densities & Impact on RF Exposure

    Shrinking Cell Site Densities & Impact on RF Exposure  Diagram from Industry Canada's web site depicting the safe/unsafe RF exposure locations associated with a suburban communications tower (next to the antenna at the top of the tower is considered unsafe).

  9. Slide 9: RF Exposure – Potential Health Effects

    RF Exposure – Potential Health Effects  The WHO (World Health Organization) recently defined cell phone USAGE as an IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) Group 2B item.  Items listed in this group are defined as "Possibly carcinogenic to humans" showing there is some evidence that it

  10. Slide 10: RF Exposure – Sources of Electro-Magnetic Frequency

    RF Exposure – Sources of Electro-Magnetic Frequency POWER FREQUENCY (Extremely low frequency [ELF] EMF) RADIOFREQUENCY EMF (wireless technologies) Home/Work Home/Work • Appliances (magnetic induction stovetop, microwave oven, • Cellular phone handsets computers, washer/dryer, TV, radio, etc). • Cord

  11. Slide 11: Life and Safety – e-911 and Wireless services

    Life and Safety – e-911 and Wireless services  According to the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association (CWTA), 25.5 million Canadians subscribe to some form of wireless telephone service.  Half of all phone connections are wireless, and over 75 per cent of Canadian homes have access to a

  12. Slide 12: The SBA ROLE – Enabling Shared Infrastructure

    The SBA ROLE – Enabling Shared Infrastructure  SBA is a wireless infrastructure company – our business is built on tower sharing and co-location, as well as operating in line with all applicable policies and consultation processes.  SBA Canada proactively promotes the SBA portfolio of sites to ALL
