About Shared Access
Shared Access are an independent owner and operator of
shared wireless communications infrastructure, leasing
space on our sites to different Mobile Network Operators.
We have a portfolio of over 50,000 site locations across the
UK and Ireland that has been developed through
partnerships with leading sporting organisations. We work
with our partners to focus our investment into their
members’ facilities whilst delivering well located shared
wireless communication infrastructure solutions for our
Mobile Network Operator customers.
Our investment strategy includes the development and
build of conventional shared towers, floodlight schemes
with integrated antenna systems, and In Building /
Distributed Antenna Systems.

Benefits
 The telecoms structure will deliver next generation 4G communications
infrastructure to the area, as well as improve coverage for other existing
technologies. The 4G network will provide exceptionally fast internet to
local residents and businesses.
 The proposal will dramatically improve phone signal coverage in an area
that has been identified by the Mobile Network Operators as suffering
from poor mobile phone coverage.
 A capital contribution will be made to recreation ground trust that will
contribute to the sustainable operation of the recreation ground into the
future.

Coverage
The radio propagation plots below are based on Ordnance Survey geographical information. The level
of coverage provided by a particular site is dependent on a number of variables. The main factors
which determine the extent of coverage are:
 the frequency of the signal emitted, the height of the antenna above ground level,
 the characteristics of the surrounding topography and the type and occurrence of ground clutter
such as buildings and trees which can cause ‘shadows’ or reflections and can absorb the signal.
 Type and design of pole proposed
The Radio Planners have produced accurate visual representations of the level of coverage available in
this particular area by using computer modelling software based on a Geographical Information
System. The programme takes the numerous variables as above into account and can then calculate
and plot the strength of the signal. This produces images at a fixed resolution resulting in the images
below.

Health
The telecommunications proposal will be fully compliant with standards set down by
the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). ICNIRP
is an independent scientific organisation whose aim is to provide guidance and
advice on the health implications of telecommunications development.
Radio waves from base stations in this country comply with international health and
safety guidelines. The levels of radio waves emitted from base stations in places
where the public have access are generally found to be hundreds or thousands of
times below the health and safety guideline limits. And, although the levels of radio
waves from mobile phones are higher than from base stations, all mobile phones
comply with international and UK health and safety guidelines.
In June 2011 the World Health Organisation (WHO) noted that “A large number of
studies have been performed over the last two decades to assess whether mobile
phones pose a potential health risk. To date, no adverse health effects have been
established as being caused by mobile phone use.”
