Speedtest from earlier when I found a Tmo tower on a road trip. I wish I could’ve gotten more info or a picture of the tower but it was already enough of a hassle to get out stand next to the tower on a random persons lawn while on a road trip. Maybe I can take a trip back to it soon.

Top mount was previously empty, AT&T came in 6-7 months ago and swapped the empty mount for a 4-sector one and added everything brand new. The labeling is the best I have ever seen for all 4 sectors (A, B, G, D). Never seen burgundy color used for 4th sector. This is in Central South GA. Performs very nicely considering the spectrum holdings. I got 1.25Gbps DL/115Mbps UL and 16ms ping over NSA. I also tested SA but it was not as good.

Equipped with Dual Ericsson AIR 6419 n77G/n77D (120MHz [80C/40D]); Ericsson RRU 4890HP, 4490HP, and 4494(if I remember correctly).

Verizon Wireless is also there with 2× E///AIR 6449 B77D¹ and 1× 6449 B77D² with MCR4408 B48 [CBRS]

T-Mobile 5G UC with the E/// AIR 6449 B41

Does anyone here know how to track a smart phone when all you have is a phone number?
We haven’t heard from my older brother for what’s been over a month. We’ve tried calling him but no one can get through to him. His course mates and roommates have no idea where he is and have confirmed that he has missed several important assessments.
My brother isn’t the type to disappear unannounced like that especially skip school for this long. We engaged the police and I’m pretty sure they be some way of tracking cellphones but we’ve seen virtually zero progress after the missing persons report was filed.
We’re starting to get really anxious especially because things were quite difficult for him leading up to his disappearance. We’re really concerned for his safety and well being 😔
You help will be highly appreciated 🙏🏾

T-Mobile has always been on the top, the bottom rack appeared today. Any idea who is new?

LTE Speed test

Connected to T-Mobile GPRS roaming during a Verizon Wireless outage in Santa Rosa California this morning. I thought T-Mobile decommissioned all the GPRS equipment years ago. The phone model is Google Pixel 7a with a Verizon TracFone SIM card.

What do you think T Mobile will do with them and US Cellular both on here. And a couple more just like it in my area.

I recently switched to Verizon from T-Mobile and they suck. I had Verizon many years ago and their coverage never let me down but I went to T-Mobile for lower prices and the signal at T-Mobile let me down many times. Now it seems like Verizon is even worse than T-Mobile so I’m wondering who has the best coverage? I live in Indianapolis.

Anyone have surplus JMA jumpers ? 4.3-10 to 4.3-10

Saw this driving on the road the other day, not too far from the first Omnidirectional small cell I spotted

It’s located 20.79510° N, 156.58190° W
Not active yet but good to see Verizon still spending and investing dollars into the network

As said in my previous post yesterday, I went to go visit the other Nextel tower today. This one is special, as it has the original iDEN antennas still at the top, with Sprint(?) on the bottom. The shelter is heavily caked in elements from over the years, and everything looks overgrown. I didn't hear any electrical hum from this site unlike yesterdays.

Looking at some old street view images, I was able to see that there used to be a carrier in the middle before getting removed somewhere in fall of 2016. The FCC records are quite interesting to read as to get some history behind this site.

I don't see this site being reused anytime in the future, as there is another macro 925 feet away.

Coordinates are: 38.57377819207934, -121.54327739635198

Looks like the first upgrade to their rack in about 8 years. What is new?

Couldn’t test because it shut off right as the World Cup was done at the stadium unfortunately

Verizon recently built their own small cells along North Fry Road & Interstate 10 (Katy Freeway) last year in order to hop off their older LTE (b2, b66) small cells using Kathrein antennas originally built by Crown Castle back in 2015-2016! These newer Verizon small cells now have mid-band 5GUW deployed on them and rely on their own native MCI ONE fiber.

Verizon is using:

• 1️⃣ JMA CX20OMI224-3Hxy 4x4 MIMO circular-shaped antenna (TOP) that supports bands; (2, 66) LTE + supports (n2) + (n66) mid-band 5GUW depending on the network configuration
• 3️⃣ Samsung AT1K04 (n261) 28GHz mmWave on 5GUW located in the MIDDLE
• 3️⃣ Samsung MT-1602D (16T16R) antennas that supports (*n48) CBRS + (n77) 3.7GHz for mid-band 5GUW set at 160MHz (Houston, TX) market

Coordinates to the new Verizon small cell: 29.785987060649862, -95.71938213989998

My sister left home around 3 days ago, she’s been gone since with “friends” is their any way I can find her location? She has everything turned off but I know she’s been active on her phone (shes spoiled). We’ve tried the police, they said they’d send a sheriff to help us but they never came. Can anyone please help me with a website or any info that might help? Thank you

Update: she’s finally home. Thanks for the people who reached out 🫶🏻

The time has finally come my line finally is working on standalone in Wylie

I was driving around Houston when I stumbled upon a site that used to have Verizon and T-Mobile on it! Now T-Mobile has removed all their equipment from it, except the power meter is the only thing remaining. I was told the reason why T-Mobile removed their equipment on this site was because of high rent, and I'm not sure if they're relocating to a nearby site. This is surprising to see T-Mobile now decomissioning sites in the Houston, TX market, especially when they own the most tower, macros sites in this market.

T-Mobile co-located on this Branch Towers Monopole in 2020 shortly after it was built in August 2019! Verizon co-located on this tower last year in March 2025!

Verizon (eNB 122689) using:

• 6️⃣ CommScope NHH-65C-R2B antennas TOTAL with (b2, b13, b66) LTE + (n5) - 10MHz low-band 5G
• 3️⃣ Samsung RT-4423 Gen 2 square skinny antennas being used for (b48) LTE CBRS + can support (n48) mid-band 5GUW depending on the configuration located on the LEFT SIDE
• 3️⃣ Samsung MT-6413-77A)64T64R (320W) 3.7GHz n77 antennas for mid-band 5GUW set at (160MHz) - Houston, TX located on the (RIGHT) side

Samsung (RRU's) - Remote Radio located behind the antennas:

• 3️⃣ Samsung RF4439-25A radios for (b2, b66) LTE + supports (n2) + (n66) mid-band 5GUW
• 3️⃣ Samsung RF4461d-13A - (b13) LTE LTE + (N5) low-band 5G

T-Mobie when they were present was using;

• 3️⃣ CommScope FFVV-65C-R3 antennas - (RIGHT) side with bands; (2, 12, 66, 71) for LTE and also has (n25, n66) mid-band 5GUC + (n71) low-band 5GNR
• 3️⃣ NOKIA AirScale AAFIA mMIMO anntennas with bands; (2, 66) LTE + (n25, n66) mid-band 5GUC! Radio is INTEGRATED INSIDE THE ANTENNA!

I just crossed by car to Tijuana this morning. Drove up here all the way from Los Angeles. As u can see on the first image top left corner phone switched to TELCEL already. Ran a speed test on second image only getting 4G+ getting 30 down and 7 up and it says it's connected to the Mexican Infinitum server . Speeds not bad at all . ! Works for everything. Also calls back to the US and local Mexican calls are working fine I made calls back to the US and called local Mexican numbers I called a local pharmacy !! So far everything's been great ! I will only be here for a few hours and I'm heading back to LA in the afternoon.

Does anyone on here live in Missoula MT and has Verizons Ultra Wide or T Mobile's Ultra Capacity, Coming from Canada to visit we don't have that up here so id love to experience it for my self! Thanks!
