To address that need, TTM provides <br />protected end to end, fully managed backhaul solutions to wireless operators by use of a private <br />fiber optic network. TTM builds and operates regional backhaul networks from the cell sites <br />back to the wireless carrier's switches. TTM eliminates the need for wireless carriers to commit <br />capital to build out their own expensive backhaul infrastructure. <br />Under the terms of the lease agreement, TTM would lease a portion of the South Water Tower <br />site for 32 square feet of ground space for an equipment pad, right of way for ingress, egress and <br />utilities. <br />GranfM., Wy s,'P.E. <br />Director of Public Works <br />Attachment: Communications Site Lease Agreement <br />
