Hey all I have a stealth site flag pole near my house ....I was wondering is there special hardware that has to be put inside the pole housing or does it use the standard antennas that get mounted on the anntena rack

I'd imagine these that are inside a "fake flag pole" are ground mounted sites.  But, I could be wrong.  I'm interested in this, myself.

Not sure if this is what you're asking, but Dbsynergy has posted permits that mention triband antennas. I think another member posted schematics that show triband antennas.  That would be equipment you usually don't see on a standard installation.

If there is room, most flag pole sites got new antennas, with ground mounted radios (GMR sites). This means that the site is technically a full build, but doesn't get the full benefit from having the radios mounted behind that antennas.

 

For some stealth sites, new antennas could not be added, so they were forced to make the site a GMO. These will likely be replaced over time with new sties.

 

As bigmachine said, some sites are being fitted with tri-band antennas for the B41 rollout, which means they have 3 RRUs mounted either in the tower, or on the ground.

Ugh. That explains why my home site (a GMR'd sad tiny excuse for a flagpole) doesn't have any 800 RRUs on the ground. I doubt there's room for NV antennas under the flagpole cover.

 

But for some reason there are 800RRU inspection stickers on the RF splitters.

If it has legacy antennas and no 800 RRU, then it would be considered a GMO.

I have pictures of the tower equipment but...there is a privacy fence so I did the best I could with the pictures

Well it wasn't in Robert's original list of GMOs and it got 1900 LTE (and has 800RRU inspection stickers) so I assumed it was a GMR. But I've never actually seen the antennas so I guess it might be a GMO that was never registered on Sprint's end as being one. It covers many dense suburbs so it would suck if it were on the low priority list.

 

CRxxXCxxx if anyone is interested.

Oops I thought this was in the sponsor forum.

The original GMO list is not nearly comprehensive. Some markets we never got information, some markets the plans changed incredibly form the original information. None of the sites in my city were on the GMO list, but more than half of them ended up being GMOed.

The site may not allow for upgrades. 

 

 

Look to be a extremely tight fit that may warrant structural modifications especially to Sprints leased area to accomodate the much larger modern antennas.

      Are you sure that's Direct to Cell? That sounds like the 911 center was offline and they got brought back online via a Starlink uplink. Which also makes way more sense than Direct to Cell for that area.

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      By RedSpark · Posted

      February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.
