this tower is being upgraded to LTE. boca raton fl


Recommended Posts

Very impressive pictures! You can even see right down to the ground wires. Even pick out the 3 separate ACU's mounted on the bottom of the panel for remote downtilt control. Definitely going to book mark these to help answer the question of "what does NV equipment look like?"

 

I updated some closer pics

I never thought I would say this on pictures. But um...uh...that's a little toooo close when I can tell you that's the alpha sector. ;)

 

Keep 'em coming!

 

Very nice!! What does the public say when they see you pointing this at the tower?

Is this a sprint panel?

Looks like one. Is that a Sprint tower location? If so' date=' then I'd say yes for sure.[/quote']

 

Sure looks like it to me.

The panel in the middle on this tower is a Sprint NV panel. That is what you should look for in the coming days on your tower. Typically the RRUs (boxes) are mounted behind the panel instead of under it.

thank you. wonder if Samsung's equipment will be more elegant given that part of the world is focus on making things "smaller".

 

The issue that drives panel size is the antennas they house. The lower the frequency, the larger the antenna must be. And physics dictates that. Since NV panels house 800MHz antennas, the length is pretty much set in stone. They can make them longer, but they cannot make them shorter.

So I know that AT&T as well as T-Mobile are also using this same sort of setup (rru behind antenna fed by fiber). Does anyone have comparison pics for those? I see a lot of what must be (but I wish they werent) similar antennas in my area from AT&T.

I have several pictures of ATT equipment in the new Orleans market thread.

    • Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and coule potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area. 
    • Still not seeing any ULS postings for pending T-Mobile UScellular merger in Dane county Wisconsin.
    • Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
