| Factor | Factor Weight | Reason |
| Distance to Exisiting Cell Sites | 0.4649 | It is very unlikely that a carrier would place a new antenna near existing ones.This is not cost efficient and can decrease network efficency. |
| Land use | 0.2506 | The difficulty in getting permits to build antenna sites because of municipal and city governement regulations, as well as the importance of public image makes land use very important. |
| Population | 0.1381 | Again, it would not be cost efficient to add cell coverage to a coverage hole if there are no cell phone users in the area. |
| Distance to Highways | 0.0786 | Although it is helpful to be near major traffic corridors to assist network capacity in those areas it is not manditory. |
| Slope | 0.037 | Slope will affect the cost of building an antenna location but if a site is chosen, this extra cost is not a large obstacle. |
| Elevation | 0.0308 | Elevation is important because of potential decreases in network efficiency through what is call "Pilot Pollution", this can be rectified through changing the tilt on the antenna. |
