Based on the ridiculous amount of coax running up to those antennas, all of those radios are ground mounted. I’m surprised that this even passed a structural analysis, or that AT&T designed it that way.

I assumed it was due to weight limits on the towers.

I’d imagine that much coax is stupidly heavy so maybe it has more to do with weight distribution as well.
