IMPORTANT NOTICE
FOR PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN STIPULATED RADIUS OF PROPOSED TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER
EORN Site C8727 - Eddystone Rd @ Eddystone


Like all areas of the province, your community is experiencing explosive demand for wireless services. As people rely more on wireless devices such as smartphones, tablets and laptops for business and personal use, network improvements are required to ensure high quality voice and data services are available.
As an essential service, telecommunications facilities are federal undertakings with a corresponding mandate for carriers to deploy them such that all residents have access to wireless high speed broadband services.
The recent Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the critical need for seamless coverage as citizens now rely on online communication to meet basic needs for business, education, health care, entertainment, and social engagement. 5G LTE technology is now being extensively deployed to support the Internet of Things that will see most everything we use from driverless electric vehicles to contact-less transactions, remote healthcare and worldwide video communication seamlessly connected.


In addition to meeting consumer needs, technological upgrades are also critical to ensuring the accessibility of emergency services such as fire, police, and ambulance. Wireless communications products and services used daily by police, EMS, firefighters, and other first responders are an integral part of Canada’s safety infrastructure.

All infrastructure development has necessary trade-offs, and Rogers has worked to find the most suitable location for a new telecommunications structure in this area.
Rogers feels that the proposed site is well situated to provide improved wireless voice and data services in the targeted area, is designed to have minimal impact on surrounding land uses and meets the intent of accepted good siting practices under the governing protocol.
Public input is an important component in the process of deploying this necessary infrastructure. Like any infrastructure, there are often few options available to achieve the necessary technical requirements. What represents reasonable or relevant concerns are specifically defined in the governing protocol
