Second Case: Best Server Distribution The following maps will show the server coverage distribution with and without a new site at Lilac Ave, Orono, MN 55391. At Verizon, a lot of effort is being placed to ensure that all sites in our network are balanced in terms of the amount of traffic they are managing. In other words, if a site is experiencing too much traffic, a new site would be needed to offload a portion of that traffic. The new site would make it possible to deliver a better network experience to our customers and increased speeds in the area that is currently being served by the existing overloading site. This is especially true in the commercial, residential neighborhoods and well -travelled highways (i.e. US -12). A new build site would help offload the high amount of traffic served by the existing site located North (Long Lake) of Crystal Bay, which will translate into increased speeds for our customers. To gauge the amount of traffic that will be offloaded by a new site, the Best Server Coverage Distribution is analyzed. The Best Server Coverage Distribution is a measure used to display the different sectors of a site and identify the geographical areas served by those sectors. In this type of simulation, several colors will be present on the map, each color identifying a site, and more specifically, identifying a sector of a site, that is serving in a geographical area. The identified sector has the best coverage level in that area. The following two maps display the existing and expected Best Server Coverage Distribution.
