The Proposed Project

New (Multiple) Tower Construction

Xplore Inc., is proposing the construction of 2 telecommunication towers to provide high-speed internet access to the community of Blood Tribe. The towers will be 45 meters tall. Antennas will be mounted at the top of these towers. These antennas will operate in the 2.5 and 3.5 GHz frequency bands. All of the equipment necessary to operate this facility will be housed in a small equipment cabinet located on site. These towers may undergo future modifications or the addition/replacement of antennas.
