Can someone tell me about this tower: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/1801-network-visionlte-miamiwest-palm-market/page__st__120

 

Thanks,

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, then I'd say yes for sure.

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.

Somewhat but it looks different. There have been many pictures posted in Ericsson market threads.

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 logged onto this thread expecting to see pictures of the insides of an NV antenna after the last set posted. /disappointing.

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

As of late i checked a few towers an i checked the tower that i posted pics of on this thread an so far nothing new. I guess no towers have been upgraded around me. I live out in west boca raton right off 441 an nothing new on the 4 towers near me
