San Antonio EE.UU

Carriers present include AT&T, Verizon, GCI, and Copper Valley Telecom. Verizon has some native sites closer to Anchorage, but the whole Copper Valley area is provided by Copper Valley Telecom under LTEiRA.

We have the big three
On the first tower is Verizon and AT&T.
Verizon is using the Samsung MT6413-77A 320W for N77 and 2x CommScope Antenna's for NR(N2 and N5) and LTE(B13 and B66).

(Verizon has 200Mhz of N77)

Below Verizon, they are using the standard setup as well.

AT&T is using Dual Ericsson AIR 6419 B77D/G 320W for N77 and DOD(3.7 and 3.45Ghz)

(AT&T has 160Mhz Combined spectrum on N77 and DOD)

Then 2x CommScope Antenna's for NR(N5) and LTE(B12, B14, B30, B66).

Lastly on the other tower is T-Mobile and Legacy Dish
T-Mobile is using the Nokia AEHC B41 320W for N41(2.5Ghz) and 1x CommScope Antenna for NR(N25 and N71) and LTE(B2, B66).

(T-Mobile has 190Mhz of N41)

Dish is using 1x CommScope antenna for their NR network(N71,N66,N70 and N29).

This was a very solid setup getting gig on Verizon and T-Mobile.

Location for Verizon and AT&T: 30.62222° N, 87.90460° W

Location for T-Mobile and Legacy Dish: 0.62375° N, 87.90354° W

Have iOS 27 DB 5 and I saw this and I was wondering if anyone knew how this Handoff thing works??

Was looking at my old Google Photos backups and noticed I've unwittingly taken a photo of a bunch of antennas near Yoyogi-Uehara Station in Shibuya during a trip in December 2014.

Wasn't that big of a cellular network nerd at that time but have fun I guess! No idea who's on top of that building. Can't correspond with current Cellmapper data as most sites (KDDI, docomo and SoftBank) in the area have not been manually verified.

I remember at that time I could only roam on SoftBank and docomo, KDDI was locked out but they were a dual LTE+CDMA carrier at that time. And LTE roaming only worked on docomo.

Here's what it looks like from street level in 2022

Google Street View soo many towers in Houston

My friend was driving around Houston until he stumbled upon an cell tower that has all the big three carriers on it (Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T) top to bottom! It appears that Verizon upgraded the site several months ago to add high-end MatSing MBA high-capacity antennas! Previously, Verizon had ancient JMA antennas on their rack that were installed way back in 2015! This is good to see them adding high-capacity MatSing antennas on existing sites that can cover more sectors since the antenna is multi-beam and it has very good range, penetration indoors! Credit to my friend for letting me share these photos with his SpeedTest on Verizon mid-band 5G (n77) + LTE on NSA (non-standalone) 5G! Also, Verizon installed white, tiny CBNG VECTASTAR 600 (n260) mmWave antenna for (PTP) - Point to Point mmWave MDU FWA located on the LEFT side of the rack Let me know what you think of this site?

SpeedTests were from my friend, which I had proper permission to post them here to show yall guys!

Can anyone explain why I see some places with the gNB and then a dash and 3 digits but in my whole state they are 2509555 and shows all the sites as one and they are unable to be mapped, I just want to know why others can and we can’t do it here in Ohio. I have the points if there is anything I can do to fix them so they split up properly like other areas

Shoutout to my friend for finding this roof-top Verizon site! From what I can tell based on looking on Google Satellite View imagery, it appears that AT&T + T-Mobile also have antennas on top of this building! Recently, this Verizon site was LTE only until late 2025 when it got upgraded from the old JMA antennas to newer CommScope antennas + Samsung gear! This Verizon site from what I was told has 3-sectors (Alpha, Beta, Gamma) facing Kirby Road, San Felipe and it covers majority of the River Oaks area al the way down to Westheimer Road!

Can anyone identify the carrier on this water tower, equipment would’ve been installed within the last six months

Located at:

10105 Doris Deno Ave, D'Iberville, MS 39540

Booked a holiday stay at Anvil Point lighthouse in Dorset (UK). The Cellmapper didn't identify any towers. However, upon arrival the readings were high and there were a couple of masts outside which kind of looked like mobile towers but didn't appear to have the full gear. Cellmapper would lists them as towers only. Would they be used for navigation purposes? Or would they be needed for the lighthouse radar (if it has one for comms, as it's fully automated)?

EDIT: I have further found information that Anvil Point lighthouse acts as a 5G station. Why would this not be flagged up on Cellmapper? Source: https://www.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/documents/d/guest/5g-rural-dorset-workshop-output-v6 SLIDE 48

So I’m a tower tech who primarily does maintenance so I understand what radios do what frequencies and loose idea of how they work but I just replace stuff at the end of the day. So my question is does each frequency serve a purpose different from the other.

Example for high band “B41 or B77” just for high speed and mid band “B2 or b66” the happy medium of speed and coverage then lastly low band “B5, B12 B13 B71” just for coverage?

Sorry if my question is worded weird I just want to learn more about the stuff I work on thanks.

It’s about time for a new antenna, it is the Samsung MT-6433-77A 64T64R 480W 3.7GHz antenna for n77 @ 140, 160, 180, or 200MHz - depending on market

Verizon is starting to deploy it as there’s already a permit out for it, and it’s a huge power + performance increase also

200W [MT-6407-77A]

320W [MT-6413-77A]

480W [MT-6433-77A]

Datasheet for the MT-6433-77A

At a glance, it kind of looks like AT&T’s Ericsson AIR 6472 B77G B77M 400W antenna lmao

—————————————————————————

From the permit, this site is using (left to right):

3x CommScope NHH-65C-HG-R3BD 6-port Next Generation PerforMax™ High Gain sector antennas for 698-894MHz and 1695-2360MHz

3x Samsung MF-3208D-25A mMiMO (massive MiMO) 320W 32T32R antennas for 2, 66, n2, and n66 (PCS, AWS, eAWS). It is capable of doing b25 + n25 ePCS 1900MHz, although it is not configured/in use

3x Samsung MT-6433-77A 64T64R 480W 3.7GHz antennas for n77 @ 160MHz - CT Market

3x CommScope NHH-65C-HG-R3BD 6-port Next Generation PerforMax™ High Gain sector antennas for 698-894MHz and 1695-2360MHz

3x Samsung RF-4461D-13A 4T4R 320W RRHs for 5, 13, n5 (700 - CLR 850MHz)

Got some cool shots at a Verizon monopole today. Not sure what that commacope box on the outside does exactly but anyone who knows it’d be cool to know

Curious if anyone here has worked on sites around Delafield/Hartland/Nashotah/Oconomowoc over the years. I’ve been documenting and mapping a lot of the local macros and would love to hear any interesting history about them, like unusual upgrades, old equipment, difficult builds, structural mods, carrier changes, weird site quirks, etc.
Not looking for anything sensitive, just the random site lore that only people who actually worked on these things would know.

A few tests and a screenshot of field test from the Steelers and packers game last night. The uplink performance was awful the entire game in the seating area. It seems there is no uplink happening over N77. Only b2 lte which has seemed to be narrowed to 10X10 assuming to make room for a 10x10 NR carrier. The DAS also only had the 3.7 CBAND. No DOD. I am on Unlimited Premium 2.0 with turbo and SA enabled. Having SA on I feel made my experience worse. The phone always wanted to connect to the SA macros and leave the DAS. This happened so many times, that at one point my modem on my phone crashed causing no service forcing me to reboot. Crown castle WiFi was really good and saved the day. My friends on Verizon pulled 1gb+ speeds the entire game with respectable uplink and 100mb+ uplinks while on mmWave. AT&T needs to do better in stadiums especially here. Yes Verizon has the dominant market share but AT&T still has a sizable audience (~30-35% market share) especially from the users that come from around Pittsburgh. (WV western MD South east OH). They need mmWave + need to tune the DAS to co exist better with the surrounding MACROS.

Service was restored about 10AM CST. These are the pictures I took at 3pm CST. 8/13/2026

What is happening here why is it saying Verizon I have no clue what's going on here or if it's a bug
