CityScape Consultants,
Inc., provides independent expert advice and strategies to
city and county governments seeking shared solutions to the
placement of wireless telecommunications infrastructure and
compliance with the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996.
Due to the rapid expansion
of cellular and PCS networks throughout the nation, cities
and counties are hard-pressed to meet the demands of their
public's ever-growing needs for telecommunications services.
CityScape is uniquely positioned to work with your community
to develop solutions to serve the best interests of all
interested parties: communications providers, government
entities, and the voting public.
CityScape combines land-use
planning theories, radio frequency engineering design and
deployment techniques, legal expertise and years of applied
broadcast telecommunications engineering and city planning
experiences to provide you answers and solutions to all your
telecommunications issues. Whether your need is related to
coverage gaps in your 911 Public Safety Radio System,
interference with your 911 calls; or concerning the
deployment of private wireless providers like AT&T, SPRINT,
Nextel; we are here ready and able to assist your community.
CityScape has worked with
numerous communications companies to satisfy their
specialized coverage requirements within local government
guidelines. With decades of solid experience in the private
sector, CityScape understands how these systems operate and,
more importantly, what solutions will (and will not) answer
specific requirements.
Once contracted, CityScape
will consult with the appropriate government agencies to
develop a fair and even coverage plan for public safety,
cellular telephone, personal communications services (PCS) and
other anticipated tenants.
CityScape will coordinate
with all interested PCS/Cell Phone/Paging providers to
develop common sites. And can supply a plan for your
community that will satisfy the needs of the providers while
limiting the number of transmission facilities better known
as towers ecessary.
At the same time, CityScape
will endeavor to maximize potential revenue for the
local government by locating sites on government property
wherever feasible and managing the system for maximum
profitability.
CityScape's legal staff,
thoroughly experienced in communications law, will assist
government attorneys in the development and approval of
ordinances to comply with federal regulations.
In addition, CityScape can assist in the development of property rights of way and
easements under the local governments authority for
utilization as communication facilities, including
representation of the city to the FCC regarding technical
support, and assist in the development of contractual
agreements with Cellular and PCS providers and other
potential tenants. CityScape will assist in the negotiation
of rights fees and assist in the drafting of favorable
leases to provide additional revenue streams.
