With over 15 years of experience in the telecommunications industry worldwide, we have developed the expertise and stakeholder relationships to ensure your project is assessed in the right way. Our services include managing consultation, identifying potential impacts, and recommending mitigation options, which will mean you can proceed confidently, knowing that telecommunications issues are being expertly handled. This will save you time and reduce project costs throughout the planning process.
Buildings and wind farms can disrupt communications systems used for mobile, utility and emergency services networks. Whilst the interference mechanisms vary, the overall impact may be a degraded signal that potentially renders the infrastructure unusable. Pager Power’s telecommunications assessments identify potential impacts and mitigation options early to minimise interference risks, address stakeholder concerns, and ensure your project proceeds effectively.
When is a telecommunications impact assessment required?
An assessment is recommended where, due to a project’s size and scale, existing wireless telecommunications infrastructure could be affected. Conducting an assessment early in the planning process is considered best practice, even if it is not specifically required by a planning authority. If a project is developed that unknowingly deteriorates existing communications systems, there could be complex legal and project ramifications.
How are telecommunications impacts assessed?
We consult with key telecommunications stakeholders to gather the most up-to-date infrastructure data once your project designs or boundaries are set, which enables an accurate assessment of potential interference. We then calculate exclusion zones around the infrastructure and determine whether an infringement is expected. If an impact is predicted, we present you with mitigation options to move the project forward.
