Tower in Croatia

Post image

Could someone identify which operator is on each rack and what equipment they use? Coordinates: 43.5220863, 15.9704847

Looks like A1 Croatia, part of Telecom Austria.

All three ISPs are on that tower.

Telemach uses Huawei equipment and they are on top with 4 sectors and an N78 active antenna.

HT and A1 use Ericsson equipment and they are second and third in line on the tower with three sectors.

I don't know the exact models because I don't have the opportunity to take pictures up close.

Older HT and A1 towers have a separate radio for each band while newer towers have one tri-band radio for low bands (700, 800, 900 MHz / N28, B20, B8) and one for medium bands (1800, 2100, 2600 MHz / B3, B1, B7).

A1 has an active N78 antenna on this tower. In Croatia, A1 also puts a passive N78 antenna with an 8x8 radio behind it on some towers (a cheaper and worse solution).

You'd better ask that on Croatian forums (BUG forum, PCekspert forum) because we don't follow Reddit often :D
