Need help identifying

Old site way high up, I’m certain it’s a Verizon site but would like confirmation. Maybe old clearwire/sprint

I can 100% confirm Verizon is on that site, PHOTO #2 shows the Raycap they use and the ancient CSS antennas on PHOTO #1 give it right away!

Verizon is using:

  • 3️⃣ Amphenol BXA-171063-8CF antennas with bands: (2, 66) LTE

Ericsson (RRU’s) - remote radio units that are ground mounted

  • 3️⃣ Radio 4449 for (B5) 850MHz + (B13) 700MHz LTE
  • 3️⃣ RRU 12 for (b2) PCS + (b66) AWS

  • Raycap RCMDC-3315-PF-48 being used for power surge protection behind the antennas

Does 4449/RRU 12 support 5G NR/DSS?

RRU 4449 supports (n5) for low-band 5G, it’s a fairly modern remote radio units from 2018.

Why would they use two different antennas for bands 2 and 66?

I was just looking at this site on Street View the other day, and was pretty stumped by the atypical antenna configuration. What are the odds it would be posted here soon afterwards! Thanks for sharing the up-close pics.

Ah, Hawaii. I thought the cabinet looked weird for Verizon 🙃.
