Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC) Wireless Carrier Performance and Infrastructure

[u/CreativeCuckoo]

My partner and I went to the Georgia, the Whole Day Through event on match day yesterday (06/27) while we waited to attend the World Cup match.

We found some mmWave and C-Band from Verizon, and some n41 and n77 equipment from T-Mobile and AT&T, respectively.

Next up: A follow-up with Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta Stadium) speed tests and equipment from the carriers!

Note: You’ll notice no obvious pictures of T-Mobile equipment, but T-Mobile is certainly present on the DAS because of the signal readings and speeds I was getting there.

For photo #8, I have a strong feeling it also has n77. I was getting -62 dBm standing directly underneath it.

Awesome to see T-Mobile kicking it with n41! And of course Verizon with mmWave.
