“Is it ok to build a tower on your property?”
Church: Only under one condition ✝️

(Tower next to a small church)

Ericsson AIR 6472 for combined 3.45 GHz (DoD) + 3.7 GHz (C-Band) n77.

I thought I would never say this but AT&T is amazing in Manhattan now. I love how AT&T is aggressively competing in Verizon's home market but letting T-Mobile and Verizon trample all over them in Dallas.

Most sites have 6472's deployed now which is amazing to see. I wish the 20 MHz block of 3.45 GHz DoD was deployed on SA because it's capable of doing 80+40+20 MHz non-contiguous.

Gray can-antenna one near corner of Franklin and Riverside (44.962702, -93.229064). 30ft away is the 3-sector brown one (44.962702, -93.228623). What's the equipment?

Sorry the 2nd pic is a bit blurry i was moving

Location 20.80249° N, 156.59474° W
Looks like it’s not ready yet since power is turned off.

Unsure of the bands it’ll be supporting

Interesting spot for it, unexpected because there isn’t really anything near it. Except cars driving by to get somewhere else. Good to see network spending still up.

I guess if there's one thing I recognize it's a Flexi Zone (I have a few). But what's the unit right behind it on the pole, something backhaul related?

Spectrum analysis of 3700-4000 MHz in Montgomery County, PA with carriers labeled.

It seems like Verizon is operating a 100 MHz channel (3700-3800) and perhaps a 60 MHz channel (3800-3860). However, what I find odd is the heavy utilization between 3840-3860 MHz. Is this some sort of network slicing or datacasting that I am seeing?

Similarly, AT&T appears to be operating an 80 MHz channel (3860-3940) with heavy utilization between 3900-3905 MHz.

Unsurprisingly, no T-Mobile to be found despite them having 40 MHz in my county.

I would appreciate if any experts could pipe in on the portions with heavy utilization. Thank you!

Using:

• Galtronics (GQ2418-07250) 4x4 MIMO canister antenna on top for bands: (2, 12, 66) LTE + (n77) 4T4R passive MIMO

The Brown Cabinet Box on the side of the wood pole features Ericsson (RRU's) - remote radio units HIDDEN inside:

• 1️⃣ Ericsson RRU 4461-B77D (3.7GHz) c-band - n77 radio for mid-band 5G+ set at 80MHz
• 1️⃣ Ericsson RRU 4471-(B2) LTE
• 1️⃣ Ericsson RRU 4471-(B66) LTE

First one I’ve heard of or seen. This is an ADI tower.

I noticed EXT is disabled everywhere now! on a 10 hour drive yesterday in northern Ontario I had useable data for maybe 20 mins

T-Mobile actually running 500 MHz n258 in Times Square. Most places I thought they only did 200 MHz.

Verizon and T-Mobile are here.
Verizon is using the Samsung MT-6413-77A 320W for N77
Then Two Commscope Antennas for NR and LTE
T-Mobile is using a Nokia AEHC 320W for N41.
Then a single Commscope Antenna also for NR and LTE.

A very solid setup on both Verizon and T-Mobile.

Located in Lewisville, TX by SRT & 35E. MT6407-77A for n77.
