Help identify Sprint equipment on tower

[leerage]

All, I've uploaded some photos of the tower closest to my house and need some help identify the sprint panels on it. 2 of 3 base stations are TMobile and AT&T so I followed the coax from the 3rd base station and I believe it to be the top rung on picture DSCF1049. Let me know what you guys think:

 

Here is the link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xi0klmhiyspbty1/4w1BG26d3f?m#/

 

I've also got some other towers I need help identifying and will upload those photos soon.

 

Thanks!

That tower is crazy!

Here is what our towers look like in Phoenix, or some rendition of a palm tree.

They look like Water tanks. lol

(joking about the water tanks)

actually the panels are all over the place on roofs of buildings, side of buildings and some on free standing poles here in the city.

It seems for some reason the people in the southwest tend to hate seeing towers, but hate not having a signal too. You can't have it both ways. The solution is to have these talking palm trees and saguaros...

In Santa Fe, they don't even like stealth sites.

Most of the towers around me are at high school football fields, and some of the double as stadium light towers.

Vegas has a lot of towers that look like this and even now like pine trees, lol. The cactus is a first for me, lol. And Baseline and 16th isn't too far from Freelife International's headquarters.

wow...those palm trees and cactus are wild. Here is Indiana you have nothing like that just towers everywhere.

I think all towers should be hidden.... When ever I see one, I have to look at it. I might as well be texting while driving.

I thought I was the only one..... Towers distract me like a mofo especially with nv starting in my city.

Very weird...I never really noticed cell towers at all until I learned that sprint was going the LTE route. Now I realize that they're every where...and from time to time I find a tower that I must have passed a million times and didnt realize it was there.

[Proxcee]

...but to get back on track and answer the question in the original post...

 

I have no idea how to tell which is which. I've wondered that myself. Most of the time I simply follow the signal until im getting a 90+% signal.

[tybo31316]

I can never ID them either. I can point out every Verizon and at&t set of panels but not sprints. Maybe with network vision we can differentiate the panels from various carriers. Also I couldn't ID vz or att panels until after they finished their upgrades in my region.

[A454nova]

You just have to look for the ID Tags. Unless you know what your looking at, your not picking them off from the street. Lot of them are mixed too.

I found this "BUFFALO CELL TOWER" near the Colorado/Wyoming border when we were head to the Black Hills of South Dakota. I always like when they get creative with Cell towers!!!

Years ago on another forum, I heard a story of customer in a Cingular store who asked something to the effect of "Hey, when are you guys gonna put up more satellites?"

 

You might be surprised at how many people really have little, if any idea how their wireless service actually works. Some people are just stupid. But others are reasonably smart people who simply do not care how it works and just take their wireless service for granted.

Is that a Sprint "tower" or other provider?

It seemed to me like the Sprint signal got stronger near it, but now looking at the site map, it's not on there. It's possible it is a new site. It is on the Google Maps satellite image, though. So it can't be too new.

I was looking at the Interactive map for colorado and couldn't find it by the listed towers. What are the coordinates of the Buffalo tower?
