The Proposed Project

Waywayseecappo First Nation is proposing the construction of four telecommunication towers within the Waywayseecappo First Nation Reserve. The towers will be installed as part of a new network to provide wireless internet service to the community. The towers will be 120 feet (36.5 m) tall and will have round, 30 inch diameter antennas installed at the top. These antennas will operate in the 5 GHz and 60 GHz frequency bands. In the future, the towers may have other antennas and other radiocommunication equipment added or replaced.
