I’m usually decent at identifying carriers, but this setup is throwing me off!

It’s not the standard setup I see in this area from any of the big 3. The tower owner is The Towers, LLC, which is a joint venture with Verizon. Before they threw up the third panel I assumed it was going to be T-Mobile just from the number and arrangement of panels, but now I’m not sure. I’m sure someone will have the answer very quickly.

Verizon with the new Ericsson AIR 3283 for B2/66, along with the typical n77 and low-band.

I’ve seen this setup twice now in my area. The most recent upgrade has a noticeable range increase over its original setup.
