The Proposed Project

James Smith Cree Nation is proposing the addition of a new antenna and telecommunications equipment on an existing 30.5 metre tower located on the James Smith Reserve No. 100. The communication system will be used to support James Smith Cree Nation Justice & Policing. The system will make use of VHF band (150MHz – 174MHz) frequencies and use a Sinclair SD212 dipole antenna located 24 metres above ground level on the existing 30.5 metre tower.
