They have had that for years.

 

I have seen several future sites but they were later cancelled.

I haven't noticed any visual change.

Whose knows they could be back on the table. 16 billion in 2 years is alot of base stations.

 

When NV was first planned out. I think it was 6 billion for the whole network and that included lightsquare spectrum.

[z250kid]

I'm guessing it's the same exact map it's just in markjcc case it's just a new tower that so happened to go up in area and hasn't noticed it before.

They have shown new and future towers for sometime, you just have to be lucky enough to stumble across the right area while zoomed in pretty far.

You have to be zoomed in pretty far, and be in the right spot to see them. There is not a lot to be found.

In most cases really. I'm surprised every time I see one. Hopefully over the next year we'll be seeing a few more pop up.

I got you a "new and future tower" right here...

 

 

Cell sites, guys, sites, not "towers."

Hey man, that's a beautiful tower. I see it during my morning commute daily.

The "panels" terminology drives me nuts as well along with this one. 

 

Here's your Network Vision panels.

If you are going to roll your eyes at me, then I will have to send in Bruce McGill from "The Insider"...

I have no problem with the "panel" terminology.  Each one contains numerous antennas, so you cannot really call the whole an "antenna."  Otherwise, how do you refer to the antennas within the "antenna"?

To be fair, the maps do show little tower icons....

 

I got suckered into it. I usually say 'sites.'

 

But Digi, you can't convince me to not say 'panels' ...

Elements or bands since they do refer to them as multi-band antennas.  I haven't seen any manufacturer, permit, etc refer to them as panels, they always state antennas.  Even the crews I've talked to call them antennas.  I guess I think the same way they do, as a panel usually having a door and houses some sort of junction of cables.  I could show you some pictures of panels that Sprint uses for network vision, they have Corning and AT&T logos on them though

Okay, calling the internal antennas "elements" is technically correct.  I can get used to that.

The last is my favorite. Reminds me of my childhood.

Can't you call them Antenna arrays?

These types of panels are becoming very popular in Phx. My parents had several of them installed last year on their house.  They haven't had a power bill over $9 (yes, nine dollars) since.   And, that's on a 6000+ sq ft house with 3 5-ton air-conditioners set at 75 in the brutal Phoenix summer heat!
