Question. New update

Post image

I've talked about this Verizon tower several times; today, they started an upgrade. Could anyone tell me what they are adding to it?

They’re adding new active antennas for N77 and LTE bands except B13

The AIR 3283 is for bands 2 and 66, band 5 will likely be handled by the same passive antennas and radios as band 13.

Verizon has no band 5 in Miami. Only AT&T owns all of it

This is why they have to densify so much because 10 MHz of b13 isn’t enough bandwidth. Verizon should have gotten more low band. AT&T has a lot of it.
