Flag pole tower


Recommended Posts

Has anybody ever seen one of these before? It's a sprint LTE tower with 1900 mhz voice. It's one of the few Shentel hasn't added 800 mhz voice yet. It's located in Fort Valley, VA.

There are tons of these in many markets, I have seen about 10 just around the city I live, all different carriers. They sometimes take a few moments to actually notice what they are, which points to them working as a camouflage if you will, very well.

This one is at a library/community center. With Fort Valley being surrounded by National Forest, I'm thinking they didn't want an "ugly tower" ruining the view.

Shentel has at least 3 in winchester. The one at I81 and 7 has 800 on it for at least 2 months now. Haven't had the chance to check the other flagpole sites yet.

Many cities have them. Especially those with nimby's or where HOA's/cities/towns have really strict rules as to what can and can not be built.

 

Here in Orlando, Fl there are a few too.

 

I actually would not mind seen more of them around. I like to see the colors up!

    • 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 could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s. 
    • 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.
