# Source note — Greenwood cell tower / 5G source-check

Prepared: 2026-08-11

## Social lead
- Instagram Reel: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbgCvNiR7TX/
- Account: sigil369.
- Caption captured: the Reel says 5G is not just “faster internet” and discusses millimetre wave, small-cell density and beamforming.
- Capture limit: Instagram media download did not expose the full video transcript; metadata, browser-visible text and thumbnail were preserved.

## Greenwood record checked
- Public-data source named in the BCFires connectivity package: ISED Spectrum Management System — Terrestrial Spectrum Licence Site Data Extract.
- Source URL: https://www.ic.gc.ca/engineering/SMS_TAFL_Files/Site_Data_Extract_FX.zip
- Local excerpt preserved: `greenwood-cell-sites-public-ised-excerpt.csv` and `greenwood-cell-sites-summary.json`.
- Greenwood rows found: TELUS Communications Inc.; technologies LTE and HSPA; location 279 S GOVERNMENT AVE; structure height 31 m; no Greenwood rows labelled 5GNR or 5GDSS in the checked excerpt.

## Official/context sources

- ISED Radiofrequency Energy and Safety.
- Health Canada Safety Code 6.
- ISED millimetre-wave spectrum decision for 5G.
- City of Greenwood heritage/history and tourism pages.

## Verdict
Yes: Greenwood has a registered cellular macro site in the public records checked. No: the checked Greenwood rows do not show a registered 5GNR/mmWave/small-cell site.
