FiberTower's Compliance
with OTARD Rules
FiberTower's antennas at customer locations transmit and received
wireless signals, and are:
- Only 2' to 3' in diameter
- Either installed on property controlled by the user, or
installed with the permission of the user's landlord
Qualification
Such FiberTower customer locations qualify for treatment under
OTARD (Over The Air Reception Device) rules. Following the
passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the FCC issued
a set of rules collectively known as the OTARD rules, under
which non-federal authorities (States, Municipalities, Homeowners'
Associations, and Building Owners) cannot restrict, impair
or delay the installation of OTARD compliant antennas. Aspects
include:
- The user has exclusive control of the property where
the antenna is located, or the landlord has granted permission
to the user to mount the antenna
- The antenna transmits or receives commercial, non-broadcast
fixed wireless signals
- The antenna is one meter or less in size
- There is no local credible safety objective or historical
site designation
The FCC explained that it implemented the OTARD rules in
order to encourage competition in the market for local telecommunications
services. FiberTower will fully cooperate with local zoning
authorities in this regard, and fully appreciates their support.
