Lyle Bookbinder appeared and said he is a civil engineer out of Rhode Island and is here to represent Mobilitie, a wireless infrastructure company, which is registered through the Department of Telecommunications and Energy. • The wireless backhaul transport equipment they are proposing is to be attached to an existing pole that is next to Smitty's Ice Cream (Sotheby's Real Estate) at the Mashpee Rotary. • Pole on MassDot property, District 5. • Mr. Bookbinder said the Plans show that there is an antenna on top of the pole and a power hook-up on the side as well. • The small pole device is low powered—not a high powered device used on high towers. • Mr. Bookbinder showed 2 photos of poles with equipment attached that were approved at other locations in the Barnstable jurisdiction. Mike Mendoza said so this is basically what it is going to look like--one pole with one unit at this specific location. Mr. Bookbinder said "yes", at this time. • The backhaul transport equipment is used to augment the existing network for any wireless network device. Glen Harrington asked how these are powered. Mr. Bookbinder said Eversource will bring power down through the pole, and it has a disconnect capability. No excavation; completely wireless; fiber optics within the unit and meter. No transformer at the ground. A separate line will be brought over to the pole (per Plans submitted).
