Mx. Pryor asked Mr. Gonzalez how West Orange fits into this network that he is designing; he said that there is a tower in Hudson County that transmits to this tower in West Orange and the West Orange tower transmits to a tower in Morris County. Mr. Gonzalez said that this is the network he is designing for Comprehensive Wireless who hired Communication Infrastructure to design the network. Vice Chairman Buechler asked Mr. Gonzales if this is microwave technology; he replied yes. Vice Chairman Buechler asked Mr. Gonzalez what the technical reasons are for using 6” antennas. Mr. Gonzalez said that they need the power of a 6’ antenna so that it can transmit from one point to another point. He said that this size meets the requirements to reach the other point. Mr. Gonzales said that it operates within the bands of the FCC regulations which also determine the size of the antenna. Vice Chairman Buechler asked Mr. Gonzalez to define the gain of an antenna; he said that power is transmited and when it hits the antenna it multiplies and that determines the gain. Mr. Pryor asked Mr. Gonzalez what the formula is for determining the height of the placement of the antennas; he said that the survey team measures the height of the surrounding trees and buildings to make sure there is a clear line of sight for the transmission. Mr. Neuer asked Mr. Pryor why Comprehensive Wireless is not the applicant; he said because Communication Infrastructure builds the network. Mr. Gonzalez said that Comprehensive Wireless contracted them to build the network and asked them to take care of it all. Mr. Neuer said that Communication Infrastructure builds the network and then they are gone and have nothing more to do with West Orange. Mr. Pryor said that Comprehensive Wireless could also turn around and sell their antennas if they wanted. Mr. Neuer said that he has a concern about enforcement; he said the actual tenant is Comprehensive Wireless. He said that he finds it disturbing that the carrier is not the applicant. Mr. Pryor said that Communication Infrastructure has an agreement with the property owner and the owner of the tower to design and build this network. He said that there is no requirement in law that it has to be the carrier making the application. Ms. Beirne stated that she understands the Board’s concern for enforcement. Mr. Neuer said that someone from

that there is no requirement in law that it has to be the carrier making the application. Ms. Beirne stated that she understands the Board’s concern for enforcement. Mr. Neuer said that someone from Comprehensive Wireless should be here. Mr. Pryor said that Mr. Gonzalez. testified that he is authorized to proceed for Comprehensive Wireless. Vice Chairman Buechiler said that before a resolution is adopted Communication Infrastructure will need written consent from the property owner. There were no further questions for Mr. Gonzalez from the Board of the Professionals. Vice Chairman Buechler asked if any members of the public had any questions for Mr. Gonzalez; there were none. Mr. Pryor called his next witness.
