When choosing an appropriate location for a cell site, we try to <br /> meet both the coverage and capacity objectives we want to achieve in that particular service <br /> area. For cell sites located in highly residential and commercial areas, our objective as a PCS <br /> provider is to provide good in-building service and wireless data service to as many businesses <br /> and homes as possible. During this process, the RF design engineer must balance signal level <br /> requirements of the area with capacity limitations of the system while incorporating his <br /> knowledge of the terrain and the density of surrounding clutters. <br /> In order to meet the requirements of continuous coverage and fill in our footprint in the north of <br /> the Minneapolis—St. Paul greater metropolitan area, particularly along Hwy 169 and we are <br /> proposing a 150' site at the 21475 Hwy 169, Elk River. <br /> During our search for a location for the proposed cell site, we also evaluated other locations in <br /> the area, but unfortunately they did not work out. <br /> - The Burlington Northern Tower to the south west of the proposed location was looked in as <br /> a possible location but the Tower was interfering with the existing sites in the Elk River area. <br /> Please feel free to contact me directly at 651 642 6357 if you have any questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> 1 <br /> RF Design Engineer <br /> Manish R Vaishnav <br /> • <br /> EXHIBIT B <br />
