3.0 Assessment

3.1 The proposed details, specifications and trade literature of the antennas, dishes and remote radio heads to be installed have been supplied noting the manufacturer's details, product references with their technical details on bandwidths and dimensions of the equipment to be installed to the mast. The specification sheets / trade literature from the equipment manufacturer 'Ericson' clearly demonstrates the equipment uses are primary for telephone voice and data transmission across their various frequency ranges. The overall number of communication devices to be installed and their positionings to the mast has not altered since the approval and the dimensions of the telecommunication equipment closely correlates to what was indicated on the approved drawings and would be acceptable to satisfy the requirements of this condition.
