large-scale 4G LTE network.
• We currently have over 108
million retail connections
•We’ve Invested more than $80
billion since formation in 2000 to
increase the coverage and
capacity of our premier
nationwide network and to offer
customers innovative services.

Small Cell Network Design Considerations
Our Process
How do we select your assets as prime locations for our small cells
installations?
• Performance Testing – Identify coverage and capacity needs.
• Analyze network options and determine the best solution (Small Cell,
ODAS, IDAS, Macro).
• Create a scope of work and begin sitting process.
– Walk the area
 Look for high traffic areas (apartments, schools, busy
intersections/retail)
 Keep the “antenna bubble” clear (shadowing creates blockage)
 What you see is what you get (structures hurt).
 Be flexible, but realistic. Move it if it needs it, but along the fiber run.

Our Process
Specific Asset selection
• Visual Inspection
– Location/Access to the pole (Consider things like , permits, current
installations impact, environment).
– Physical Condition
– Current Loading
– Interference Issues
• Locate ownership information and submit candidate for analysis.
– This process can vary from company to company.

 Small cell deployments create opportunities for
cellular carriers and utility companies to work
together in new way that is mutually beneficial
 Small cells are significantly different than macro
cells
 Designed to be placed on light standards, utility
towers, existing vertical infrastructure
Small Cell
Program
 Equipment is smaller and self contained
 Objective is to offload capacity, targeted
deployment

Verizon desires to partner with Utilities for small
cell deployments on distribution and light poles
 Master Lease Agreement
 Asset List
 Streamlined design review

Process: Exhibit C to the MLA contains the
application process to enter into an SLA.
VZW to submit an informal app to Utility via e-mail
that includes lat and long with pictures.
Process with
a Utility
Company
under MLA
Upon initial approval, VZW submits (2) two
Applications to Utility.
PPS includes: map of location, nearest address, lat and
long, specific design, loading calcs, RF study
PPA is not signed until after Utility approves
Utility has 45 days to review. Utility may hire a 3rd
Party to review and VZW is responsible for such
charges; charges must not exceed $1,000.
Utility will include make-ready costs to VZW here
Upon PPA approval by Utility the PPA becomes part
of the MLA and both parties sign the PPA
Utility sends approval e-mail, then VZW routes for
signature. Utility signs last
VZW to obtain city/county permits separately

Design Options: To be approved by Utility during
Application process
Antenna: attached to the vertical structure in the
Communication space
Equipment: On the ground – separate ground agreement
Process with
a Utility
Company
under MLA
Process: Appendix XXX to the MLA contains a
memorandum and application process to enter into an SLA.
VZW submits an Application to Utility. Utility requires VZW
to conduct a field survey within 180 days. Utility will
designate which field survey they want.
Includes make ready work estimate
Should VZW wish, VZW can have a 6-month option to hold it’s
space/location on Utility’ pole while their due diligence is being completed.
Upon Utility approved drawings, VZW and Utility will sign an
SLA (Exhibit C) with approved drawings as the Lease Exhibit.
VZW will sign first; Utility will sign last.

Mobile Broadband Outlook and Usage is only
increasing in our culture. People expect the
same broadband experience they have at home
when they are on the road.
Small Cell
Use – Did
you know?
• 67 % of workers use personal devises in the
workplace*
• College students bring an average of 6.9
devices with them on campus*
• 1 out of 3 college-age and young
professionals say Internet is as important as
air, food, and shelter*
Densification of Wireless Networks aid in
capacity growth and provide relief; end result,
improving the overall customer experience.
• Small Cells help to bring networks closer to
the end user and are used as a tool among
other businesses to satisfy consumer need.
