This isn't my picture, but it's the same panels that are being installed on my local site.  My area has great service from Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon, which makes me think it's AT&T but when I see an AT&T site I usually find that they have 4+ panels per sector.  Maybe they're new panels?

This looks exactly like what AT&T uses for LTE around here..

I am still learning how to spot different carriers, but it looks like Sprint on the top and AT&T on the bottom. I don't think Verizon has RRUs by their panels.

Not yet, but they are adding them with their AWS LTE deployment, so soon Verizon will have RRU's too. It could potentially get harder to spot Sprint RRU's for a small number of areas (like in the IBEZ where they aren't using 800 SMR compatible panels and 1 PCS RRU per sector.)

      These creditors are going to get screwed one way or another. I see no exit for them that will be painless. Rule # 1 - Never get in bed with Charlie.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By Trip · Posted

      I don't disagree entirely but a lot of the really rural coverage (like where I grew up) still has little or no competition.  There is a lot of overlap but there are also a number of unique sites that will help things. But also, the fact is that a lot of the rural T-Mobile coverage is still "map filler" coverage that doesn't actually provide reliable service.  This will help. https://imgur.com/a/LRWF3FO Using where I grew up as an example, magenta is T-Mobile, blue is US Cellular, and gold are unique sites Shentel planned but didn't get a chance to construct before the buyout derailed things. EDIT: And even a number of the T-Mobile sites shown here are Shentel conversions.  The only reason for the site NW of Keysville is that Shentel built that one before the buyout pause.  The site southwest of Meherrin wasn't a Shentel conversion, although Shentel did plan to build there, but rather was added to fill a gap along US-360 when the Shentel conversions were taking place.  Three of the five sites in Farmville proper are Shentel conversions also, as is the one north of town just barely on the map. - Trip
