Non-interference.
El Paso City Code § 15.10.230
in effect15.10.230 - Non-interference.
A. To the extent not inconsistent with Chapter 284, provider's network nodes shall not cause harmful interference to the city's public service radio frequency, wireless network, or communications operations ("city operations"), or to third-parties' network nodes or similar third-party equipment in the public right-of-way or adjacent city property ("protected equipment"). If provider's network node interferes with city operations, the city shall contact provider's emergency service contact to provide notice of any interference with city operations pursuant to Section 15.10.720. The provider shall immediately cease operation of the network node causing said interference upon receiving notice from the city and refrain from operating until provider has eliminated the interference. If after notice provider continues to operate a network node that causes interference with city operations, such network node may be deemed unauthorized and subject to the remediation and termination provisions of this chapter. If provider's network node interferes with protected equipment, then provider shall take the steps necessary to correct and eliminate such interference within twenty-four hours of receipt of notice from the city. If provider is unable to resolve the interference issue within this timeframe, it will voluntarily power down the network node causing the interference, except for intermittent testing until such time as the interference is remedied.
B. Following installation or modification of a network node, the city may require provider to test the network node's radio frequency and other functions to confirm that it does not interfere with city operations or protected equipment. If, after notice, provider continues to operate a wireless facility that causes interference with city operations, such wireless facility may be deemed unauthorized and subject to the provisions of Article XI of this chapter.
