Please review on Page 5 under Design Guidelines. Number 1 talks about Stealth Design. The city requires wireless facilities to be as stealth as possible depending on the technology that is available at the time of the application or renewal. Today's technology allows cell antennas to be placed behind RF transparent panels, which completely hides the antennas from public view. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Can you also reference the spot that stated that the wireless sites must be screened? Thanks Rachel M.

The boxes would hide the antenna but the boxes would be seen and therefore not stealth. There may not be a landlord since the building is empty but you should have the owner of the building signing the (07/18/2007) Ram Drew-RErSprintNexyi^Eclison Place ~'.''.."."" , 3^711 1 1! I 1"."

The other issue we have here is that we need to get our modifications approved with out Landlord on this site. So before we can submit any possible redesigned drawings, we will have to have an agreement with the landlord. Please know that we are working on this site and that these things take time. Will the city penalize Sprint even if we have filed for the renewal? Thanks Rachel M.

I am not sure how soon I will get it, these things usually take a while. All you need is a new design and then you will approve it? Pending the design is acceptable of course.

The majority of STEALTH'S designs employ three major components: • Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) • Structural Steel • StealthSkin™ V Panels FRP • FRP is generally used in conjunction with steel in the design of antenna screening enclosures. • Usually steel columns and kickers are behind the antennas. • FRP connections must be bolted. • FRP angles or wide-flange beams act as horizontal girts at the top and bottom of the panels, creating a mounting surface for the panel. • FRP is less detrimental to the antenna's signal than steel, but should not be placed in the direct path of the RF pattern. FRP Specifications are available upon request. Structural Steel • Galvanized steel is frequently used for structural support of antenna screening enclosures. • Specifically used when the structural members are behind or away from the antenna's signal. • Steel is inexpensive and easily accessible. Office: 800-755-0689 Web: www.stealthsite.com StealthSkin™ V Panels These panels were the first RF transparent panels ever designed and trademarked in the wireless industry. The StealthSkin ™ V panels have been custom designed and tested for each particular frequency range. The RF transparency of a given panel at a particular frequency is also affected by surface treatment (stucco, brick, etc) as well as incidence angle. Panel Benefits STEALTH'S panel construction uses a plastic foam composite geometry that enables the panels to: • Be very strong • Maintain RF signal integrity • Be easily fabricated These panels are available in: • Flat • Corner • Radius • Fire Rated The following table details what panel is best for your application and the standard sizes in which the panels are stocked. Please call for availability.

StealthSkin™ V Corner and Radius Panels When corner and radius panels are needed for concealment, STEALTH'S panels are factory fabricated to the required angle or radius. For a standard corner panel, each horizontal leg of the "corner panel" is half of the overall width of the original sized panel. Standard corner panels are bent to 60 or 90 degrees per the application. In addition, panels can be factory fabricated to any required angle for any type of application. *STEALTH corner panels were used on all four sides of this penthouse extension.
