RF Report (BLD-2022-0980)Page 1 7430 New Technology Way, Suite 150 Frederick, Maryland 21703 (703) 596-1022 Phone www.waterfordconsultants.com Compliance Statement Based on information provided by AT&T Mobility and predictive modeling, the Central Cupertino Relo CC2719 installation proposed by AT&T Mobility will be compliant with Radiofrequency Radiation Exposure Limits of 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.1307(b)(3) and 1.1310. RF alerting signage at the base of the Monopole and restricting access to authorized climbers that have completed RF safety training is required for Occupational environment compliance. The proposed operation will not expose members of the General Public to hazardous levels of RF energy at ground level or in adjacent buildings. Certification I, David C. Cotton, Jr., am the reviewer and approver of this report and am fully aware of and familiar with the Rules and Regulations of both the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) with regard to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation, specifically in accordance with FCC’s OET Bulletin 65. I have reviewed this Radio Frequency Exposure Assessment report and believe it to be both true and accurate to the best of my knowledge. General Summary The compliance framework is derived from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations for preventing human exposure in excess of the applicable Maximum Permissible Exposure (β€œMPE”) limits. At any location at this site, the power density resulting from each transmitter may be expressed as a percentage of the frequency-specific limits and added to determine if 100% of the exposure limit has been exceeded. The FCC Rules define two tiers of permissible exposure differentiated by the situation in which the exposure takes place and/or the status of the individuals who are subject to exposure. General Population / Uncontrolled exposure limits apply to those situations in which persons may not be aware of the presence of electromagnetic energy, where exposure is not employment-related, or where persons cannot exercise control over their exposure. Occupational / Controlled exposure limits apply to situations in which persons are exposed as a consequence of their employment, have been made fully aware of the potential for exposure, and can exercise control over their exposure. Based on the criteria for these classifications, the FCC General Population limit is considered to be a level that is safe for continuous exposure time. The FCC General Population limit is 5 times more restrictive than the Occupational limits. In situations where the predicted MPE exceeds the General Population threshold in an accessible area as a result of emissions from multiple transmitters, FCC licensees that contribute greater than 5% of the aggregate MPE share responsibility for mitigation.

The power density in the Far Field of an RF source is specified by OET-65 Equation 5 as follows: 𝑆𝑆= 𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸4β‹…πœ‹πœ‹β‹…πΈπΈ2 (mW/cm2) where EIRP is the Effective Radiated Power relative to an isotropic antenna and R is the distance between the antenna and point of study. Additionally, consideration is given to the manufacturers’ horizontal and vertical antenna patterns as well as radiation reflection. At any location, the predicted power density in the Far Field is the spatial average of points within a 0 to 6-foot vertical profile that a person would occupy. Near field power density is based on OET-65 Equation 20 stated as 𝑆𝑆=οΏ½180πœƒπœƒπ΅π΅π΅π΅οΏ½β‹…100 β‹…π‘ƒπ‘ƒπ‘–π‘–π‘–π‘–πœ‹πœ‹β‹…π‘…π‘…β‹…β„Ž (mW/cm2) where Pin is the power input to the antenna, ΞΈBW is the horizontal pattern beamwidth and h is the aperture length. Some antennas employ beamforming technology where RF energy allocated to each customer device is dynamically directed toward their location. In the analysis presented herein, predicted exposure levels are based on all beam s at full utilization (i.e. full power) simultaneously focused in any direction. As this condition is unlikely to occur, the actual power density levels at ground and at adjacent structures are expected to be less that the levels reported below. These theoretical results represent maximum-case predictions as all RF emitters are assumed to be operating at 100% duty cycle.

(1) PER SECTOR The antennas will be mounted on a 75-foot Monopole with centerlines 52 feet above ground level. Proposed antenna operating parameters are listed in Appendix A. Other appurtenances such as GPS antennas, RRUs and hybrid cable below the antennas are not sources of RF emissions. Panel antennas have been installed at this site by other wireless operators. Operating parameters for these antennas considered in this analysis are also listed in Appendix A. Figure 1: Antenna Locations Central Cupertino Relo Cc2719 - Modification 08.23.2021 Page 4 7430 New Technology Way, Suite 150 Frederick, Maryland 21703 (703) 596-1022 Phone www.waterfordconsultants.com Power density decreases significantly with distance from any antenna. The panel-type antennas to be employed at this site are highly directional by design and the orientation in azimuth and mounting elevation, as documented, serves to reduce the potential to exceed MPE limits at any location other than directly in front of the antennas. For accessible areas at ground level, the maximum predicted power density level resulting from all AT&T Mobility operations is 49.0704 % of the FCC General Population limits. Based on the operating parameters in Appendix A, the cumulative power density level at this location from all antennas is 49.2791% of the FCC General Population limits. Incident at adjacent buildings depicted in Figure 1, the maximum predicted power density level resulting from all AT&T Mobility operations is 57.9115% of the FCC General Population limits. Based on the operating parameters in Appendix A, the cumulative power density level at this location from all antennas is 58.4204% of the FCC General Population limits. The proposed operation will not expose members of the General Public to hazardous levels of RF energy at ground level or in adjacent buildings. Waterford Consultants, LLC recommends posting RF alerting signage with contact information (Caution 2B) at the base of the Monopole to inform authorized climbers of potential conditions near the antennas. These recommendations are depicted in Figure 2.
