Antenna means communications equipment that transmits or receives electromagnetic radio signals used in the provision of Wireless Services. 

• Distributed Antenna System (DAS) means a network that distributes radio frequency signals and consisting of:

1. 1.
   Remote communications or Antenna nodes deployed throughout a desired coverage area, each including at least one Antenna for transmission and reception;
2. 2.
   A high capacity signal transport medium that is connected to a central communications hub site; and
3. 3.
   Radio transceivers located at the hub’s site to process or control the communications signals transmitted and received through the Antennas to provide Wireless or mobile Service within a geographic area or structure.

• Small Cell Facility means a Communications Facility that meets both of the following qualifications:

1. 1.
    Each Antenna is located inside an enclosure of no more than six (6) cubic feet in volume, or in the case of an Antenna that has exposed elements, the Antenna and all of the Antenna’s exposed elements could fit within an imaginary enclosure of no more than six (6) cubic feet; and
2. 2.
   Primary equipment enclosures that are no larger than 17 cubic feet in volume, or facilities comprised of such higher limits as the FCC has excluded from review pursuant to 54 U.S.C. § 306108. Accessory Facilities may be located outside the primary equipment, and if so located, are not to be included in the calculation of equipment volume. Accessory Facilities includes, but is not limited to, any electric meter, concealment, telecommunications demarcation box, ground-based enclosures, back-up power systems, grounding equipment, power transfer switch, cut-off switch and vertical cable runs for the connection of power and other services.
