Optimizing New Cell Tower Location in Seattle Using GIS Analysis

This presentation discusses the process of finding the best location for a new cell tower in the Seattle area to enhance service coverage. It includes data collection on land features, such as elevations, environmental restrictions, and current cell tower locations. Data analysis involved merging non-build areas, creating buffers around existing towers, and identifying suitable sites based on available land parcels. The results show increased cell coverage and improved access through higher elevations, while avoiding areas with building restrictions. The study references sources like WAGDA, KCGIS, and FCC Wireless Telecommunications Bureau.

  2. Presentation Contents • Intro/Objectives • Data Collection • Data Analysis • Results/Conclusion • Works Cited

  3. Intro/Objectives • Find a location for a new cell tower in the Seattle area • Increase service in areas with less coverage • Create better access through higher elevations • Find the most suitable location based on land features

  4. Data • Elevations (Seattle area) • Environmental non-build areas (seismic, erosion, coal mines, landslides) • Hydraulic non-build areas (floodways, floodplains) • Buildings and Land Parcels • Current Cell Towers

  5. Elevations (Seattle Area)

  7. Erosion and Landslides Erosions Landslides Projection: NAD_1983_StatePlane_Washington_North_FIPS_4601_Feet

  8. Floodways and Floodplains Floodways Floodplains Projection: NAD_1983_StatePlane_Washington_North_FIPS_4601_Feet

  9. Current Cell Towers

  10. Data Analysis • Merge non-build areas to create a single layer • Create 5 miles buffer around existing cell towers • Locate area to build new cell tower and examine existing buildings/parcels
