Future Proofing Requirements • Consideration given to future users of EAS mast sites. • Consultation through WG, SG and DCMS with Operators to identify likely areas. • EAS will incorporate into the build where possible. • Possible tension where design is being led towards monopole / telegraph pole solution. 5
