The small cell will serve residents and businesses in this portion of the community. Small cells are low-power, low-profile wireless communications facilities that improve signal quality and capacity within AT&T’s existing wireless network. The proposed small cell facility will help AT&T provide and improve critical wireless services in this area. AT&T estimates that since introduction of the iPhone in 2007, mobile data usage has increased 470,000% on its network. AT&T forecasts its customers’ growing demand for mobile data services to continue. Customer needs require AT&T to design and maintain its network to provide and improve wireless signal quality and to increase data rates sufficient to stream video. Areas that do not meet this minimal standard, or where wireless service is otherwise compromised, represent service issues that must be addressed. Specifically, this proposed small cell facility will help improve AT&T’s wireless services by offloading network traffic carried by existing macro facilities in the area. In addition, faster data rates allow customers to get on and off the network quickly, which produces more efficient use of AT&T’s limited spectrum. By placing the small cell facility in areas where AT&T’s existing wireless telecommunications facilities are constrained and where AT&T experiences especially high network traffic, AT&T can address the existing and forecasted demand and support 5G speeds in the near future. Improving signal quality and Increasing data speed is critical to providing the mobile experience customers demand and to manage the unprecedented increase in mobile data usage on AT&T’s network. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) tracks the rates at which American households are shifting from landlines to wireless telecommunications. According to the CDC’s latest Wireless Substitution Report, more than 70 percent of Americans rely exclusively or primarily on wireless communications in their homes.1 In addition, the FCC estimates that 70 percent of all 911 calls are made from wireless devices.2 And with AT&T’s selection by FirstNet as the wireless service provider to build and manage the nationwide first responder wireless network, each new or modified facility will help strengthen first responder communications. AT&T selected the proposed facility as the best available means to address its service objectives in this portion of Riverside County. The overall site location and design will comply with applicable code provisions, General Plan, and other published siting guidelines. The proposed small cell facility will be located in the public right-of-way where AT&T has a right to place its equipment pursuant to California Public Utilities Code 7901. The project will involve the placement of a small antenna and associated small cell equipment on a replacement utility pole. The facility will not obstruct pedestrian or vehicular traffic. It will not adversely affect the surrounding properties and will have a minimal physical and aesthetic footprint in this area. 1 See Wireless Substitution: Early Release of Estimates From the National Health Interview Survey, January-June 2018, available at http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhis/earlyrelease/wireless201812.pdf. 2 See 911 Wireless Services, available at https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/911-wireless-services.
