Final Report Chapter 9 Environmental and Social Considerations case-by-case basis in accordance with the applicable standards of MPT, taking into account the node distribution and condition of existing MPT facilities as well as road traffic conditions and traffic volumes. The wireless system can be considered an alternative means, but its transmission capacity is too low to cover the high transmission volumes within a large city or between cities. A comparison of access links is shown in Table 9.3-2. Table 9.3-2 Applicable Access Technologies/Alternative Routes and Operating Methods Fiber Optic Cable Underground 1~1,000 Gbps/core Capacity MPT Application 48 core or more 48 core or less Strong Weak Security ・Side walk Location of Construction (Public Road) Aerial ・Side strip ・Open cut at Public road and lay duct and recovery of road ・ Minimum distance Construction route related to route distribution of demand area ・ Duct construction in advance Construction ・ FOC installation on timing Method of construction Radio System (Point to Multipoint) 64 kbps~100 Mbps/sys. Strong ・Side Strip ・Pole erection on 10-20m distance ・Attach to pole None ・ Minimum distance route related to distribution of demand area None ・On demand None demand Environment Allied Section Social Environment Natural Environment Application to proposed project ・Major Cities and Medium City Center No relocation of residents ・Impact to plant at side walk ・Recovery after completion Not applicable ・Suburban Area ・Province ・Mobile base station to Users ・Scattered demand area No relocation of resident No impact No impact No impact Not applicable Applied to Cities and suburban area Source: Prepared by the Study Team The access links for this project are specified under LTE and employ the point-to-multipoint radio system, as shown in Table 9.3-2. Thus in this project there are no problems to be considered in terms of the environmental aspect. 9-12
