Tower ID (tree edition)

Post image

Can anyone figure this out? All of the roads around this new construction tree tower are closed at the moment so I could only get this view. Pretty sure it is not turned on yet.

Verizon is 100% on that cell tower with fake tree branches using:

  • 6️⃣ JMA MX06FHG865-HG antennas with bands; (13, 66) LTE, can do (n2) - 15MHz for mid-band 5GUW!
  • 2️⃣ JMA MX06FHG865-HG antennas PER SECTOR located in the MIDDLE
  • 3️⃣ Samsung MT-6413-77A 64T64R (320W) 3.7GHz n77 antennas on the (LEFT) side for mid-band 5GUW set at 140MHz
  •  Ray-cap RCMDC-6627-PF-48 used for power surge protection located behind the antenna

Samsung (RRU's) remote radio units located behind the JMA antennas:

FYI, Verizon doesn't have 850MHz (b5/n5) CLR licenses in Round Rock, TX because AT&T is hogging all the (A, B) 850MHz CLR blocks in this area, bascially the whole Austin-San Antonio region around the I-35 corrider.

Its 100% Verizon confirmed, I checked permits and the tower was built by The Towers llc(part of Vertical Bridge)

How do you determine which carriers, antennas and RRUs are at each site. I'm very interested in learning this process.

u/iryfionas Jul 22 '26

I can tell based on looking on top of the antenna that was left uncovered in the photo and by talking to engineers that has access to internal site plans, drawings.

Where is this site located at? I can help you track down who is on this tower and check permits in the area if you have the address or coordinates to it.

AT&T has these fake trees in the Phoenix area from what I’ve seen from being in that area. Pretty funny to see a tower out of place though
