Gents,

 

I enclose the report from Vodafone on the investigation they undertook into the Southend NIE mast. I will be on leave for the next week but will pursue the issue with Vodafone when I return and have asked for details of the new Macro option referred to below.

 

Regards

Gerry

Please see below

In summary the mast wouldn’t be fit for purpose with regard to mobile coverage

Bill,

                Please see attached.

As you can see from the predicted coverage plots, the coverage from the offered site doesn’t really add value to the area as it is too low being on the coast. The predictions were taken at 20m to antenna base.

We have also looked at a possible repeater in the area but there wouldn’t be sufficient signal strength for this to work.

The only this I see that would work is a new Macro at or near the target area of Southend.
