Bonneville Power Administration proposes to allow Sprint Corporation to upgrade their antennas and equipment, at sixteen existing wireless sites on Bonneville Power Administration transmission towers throughout northwest Washington. The work would consist of removing four, six, or nine antennas attached to Bonneville Power Administration transmission structures and replacing those with two or three new, slightly larger antennas. Remote radio heads would be added to the antenna mounts and new coaxial would be installed, connecting the remote radio heads to existing equipment located on the ground, beneath or adjacent to the tower base.
