  2. Agenda Wireless Facts & Trends Regulations & Processes Public Sensitivities & Myths Examples of Development Questions & Close

  3. Wireless Facts & Trends • 1985 – 6000 Subscribers • 2005 – 12,500,000 Subscribers • 2015 – 22,000,000 Subscribers • More than 50% of 911 calls are made from a cell phone – more like 75% • Significant Economic Impact: 37 billion invested in Communication Infrastructure between 1985 and 2013 and 5.7 billion annually in auction fees • Data Transmission increasing ±5% per month • Alberta Flood impact on network operations Sources: CWTA, March 2015, B. Church, and local knowledge. Additional Info: Alberta First Responder Radio Communications System (AFRRCS) http://www.solgps.alberta.ca/afrrcs/Pages/default.aspx

  4. Wireless Facts & Trends A single laptop can generate as much traffic as 488 basic-feature phones. A smartphone creates as much traffic as 35 basic- featured phones.

  5. Wireless Facts & Trends Number of calls in a cell is limited. At capacity, it reduces the coverage footprint in order to provide service to the closest users

  6. Wireless Facts & Trends • Amber Alert • Monitoring vital signs (paramedics, seniors, etc.) • Locator/GPS • Oil/Gas Well monitoring • Smart Farming • Smart Home Monitoring • GPS/locator – Emergency Services • Drone Technology

  7. Regulations & Processes Industry Canada – CPC-2-0-03 Letter of Concurrence/Non-Concurrence Impasse – Industry Canada Land Use Authority – Role Zoning/Setbacks Development Permit vs Letter of Concurrence Health & Safety/NavCanada/Transport Canada

  8. Regulations & Processes • Search Area (technical analysis) • Colocation • Initial Field Scouting (search area) • Site Selection (Site Candidate Info. Package) • Municipal Pre-Consultation Involvement by Colour • Qualifications Carriers • Lease Acquisition Land Use Authority • Public Consultation Industry Canada • Letter of Concurrence Public • Industry Canada Review Challenges?
