Amazing speeds, that is a very tall tower. I guess its true, everything truly is bigger in Texas.

 

Looks normal size..some in my area are taller.

Now guys, no need to be measuring your towers here... what matters how they perform, lol.

I would be interested to see if someone could do a test to see how the signal drop off and speed drop off at certain distances from the tower... like every quarter mile do a speed test and measure the signal strength. I am sure I am not the only one that would like to see this.

Looks like they're pretty close to eachother that after a certain distance, you'd be connected to another tower. lol

It would be interesting, but there are a lot if variables that could make one tower drop off faster than another. Downtilt, tower height, topography, vegetation etc can all reduce the signal faster at one location vs another.

Oh, I know... but there were a lot of people saying how far they were from a tower and their signal strength, and it would be cool to know if they are experiencing good service.

 

Plus as far as I know, texas is much more flat with fewer trees than where I live. And because the build out is not complete yet, I am sure that there would be a place on the outskirts of town that would be able to test this. I know it would not be a controlled experiment, and that it would not be completely accurate, but if a few people from this site were able to all do a test, we might be able to draw a few conclusions, or at least confirm the technical specs we're supposed to see.

So would this look pretty much the same as an ATT or Verizon LTE tower? I've seen some very similar looking towers in the Indianapolis area. I can never tell right now because there are so many towers anymore.

 

The tower itself will look identical...towers are generally owned by a tower company rather than a wireless carrier. Though Verizon owns some of its towers (as does AT&T and, to an extent, T-Mobile).

 

The equipment on the towers OTOH may look a bit different, comparing legacy Sprint/VZ/AT&T/etc. to NV or VZ/AT&T LTE.

It's hard to tell anything from this vantage point. Need to be better zoomed in. What location is it at? What city/cross streets.

I'd say that looks like a Verizon tower. They have HUGE LTE panels near the top.

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      By RedSpark · Posted

      February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

      FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
