Mr. Collins began his testimony by stating that he prepared a report and the dishes will be installed according to FCC standards. Giga Beam is proposing to install two (2) 6” point to point transmission dishes mounted on an existing tower. He also stated that all antenna operators are subject to be in FCC compliance with signal exposure. Mr. Collins stated that Giga Beam calculated using a six (6) gigahertz band and then explained the formula they use for this. He also stated that 95% of the energy transmitted does not reach the ground. Chairman Neuer asked to have a copy of Mr. Collins report marked as Exhibit Al and told Mr. Pryor to send it them via email. Mr. Collins continued his testimony by explaining the reason for the 6° dishes is because that’s the minimum size they can use in microwave congested areas to get the signal out. He went on to explain that these systems need this kind of antenna to transmit to Newark to Summit to Chicago. Ms. Weiss asked where in Summit was the dish located and Mr. Collins stated that it’s not constructed yet. He said that if they do not get permission to construct it in Summit then it will be in Randolph where it was already approved. Ms. Weiss stated that the photo they have makes the dish look small but in reality it’s huge. Mr. Collins stated that on page 11 of his report he has pictures of 10’ dishes. Chairman Neuer asked if they went to Marcella could they see a 10° dish and Mr. Collins replied yes; the large dishes that are there now are 10° dishes. Ms. Weiss stated that she only asked so they could go out and see it before the next meeting. Mr, Sussman asked if it had to be a point to point precise beam and Mr. Collins replied yes that it has to be accurately pointed. Ms. Weiss asked if they were denied, where would they go and Mr. Pryor said they would find another spot. Ms. Borg stated that there are other towers, specifically in East Orange. Chairman Neuer stated that it would be helpful if they knew if there were other spots. Mr. Pryor stated that it was researched and Marcella is the best location. Mr. Bullock asked the identities of the parties at the different addresses in the application. Mr. Pryor stated that, at the 10/27/11 meeting, they will explain the entire background of Giga Beam. There were no more questions for Mr. Collins. Chairman Neuer stated, for the record, Giga Beam did not give

tated that, at the 10/27/11 meeting, they will explain the entire background of Giga Beam. There were no more questions for Mr. Collins. Chairman Neuer stated, for the record, Giga Beam did not give permission for an extension. Mr. Pryor asked to have it carried over to the next meeting on 10/27/11 thereby granting the extension of the statutory time for decision. Chairman Neuer stated, for the record, that this application will be carried over to the 10/27/11 meeting and no further notice will issue. 13
