mdob07 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I found Verizon M-MIMO equipment installed on utility poles over in New Albany, IN this morning. Both of these are waiting on electric meter to be installed. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air5121 is the correction. - Oh yes it very much is. All current mid high band 5GTF and NR 5G deployments use M-MIMO antennas. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesito473 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 So I've been seeing this particular angry on Verizon site around Cincinnati. Is this 5G hardware ? Sent from my SM-G977U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAvirani Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 Found a new Verizon site in Seattle that uses JMA antennas. This is the first non-Amphenol site I've seen Verizon build here in at least a year and a half. https://imgur.com/a/HyHl578 Pretty much all other Verizon sites utilize 2x6-port antennas or a single 8 port antenna manufactured by Amphenol. Info on those here: https://s4gru.com/forums/topic/7691-vzw-equipment-spotting/?do=findComment&comment=546650 https://s4gru.com/forums/topic/7691-vzw-equipment-spotting/?do=findComment&comment=546778 I wonder if Verizon will be primarily switching over to JMA here or if this site is a one-off. The currently deployed Amphenol antennas have pretty exceptional lowband range; I'd be surprised if JMA has built antennas that can top them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmoses Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Posting this here as I assume it's Verizon..... In the pic the round cylinder out the top back have been installed on light poles in our area for a couple of years now. Recently the triangle of panels started showing up on the same poles that had the cylinder ones. Anyone know what the triangle ones are?

The top radios and the can antenna look just like what AT&T is deploying here for their small cells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PedroDaGr8 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Mini macro:https://imgur.com/C2ibfu6I had been wondering who used this antenna. They are very distinct compared to the other antennas used. There are a number of them in the Kirkland area and I kept forgetting to ask.Sent from my LG-LS998 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. That's just one of the standard ERICSON airs with passive antenna ports available. Same deal type of equipment tmobile uses. Vzw and ATT use Ericsson airs in some region and not in others. It really depends. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it really, really depends on the regional RF team. Up in the west coast, ATT and VZW prefers all RRUS + Passive antenna builds. In other regions they'll toss in some Ericsson AIR or even other vendor antenna integrated w/ radio units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroDaGr8 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 A couple pictures of some painted Ericsson StreetMacro 6701 28GHz (n257) panels installed by Verizon in Kirkland, WA. I can get some better pictures if anyone wants them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdob07 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I believe I found some Verizon C-Band gear this week. I'm surprised by how fast they are deploying these here unless they aren't as affected by electronic equipment shortages as others are. I thought they'd focus on markets were C Band is already live. Louisville isn't one of the early clearing markets, I'm pretty sure they can't turn it on here until late 2023 unless I missed something. This particular site was actually just a bit south of Louisville, next to a Pilot station off I-65. There's another site about a mile south of this one that also has C Band equipment already. Both looked to have been complete rip and replace of the existing equipment as well. Also I'm not quite sure what the smaller unit is under the Ericsson 6449, unless that's for CBRS. (Pictures are from my S22 Ultra, I'm very impressed with the camera.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_dog007 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Likely due to agreements VZW is making with satellite businesses to move them a long quicker. I was just reading an article that SES entered into an agreement with VZW to install filters at 500 sites before the end of 2022. VZW will pay them up to a cool $170M for their efforts. As a byproduct of this work, I wonder if some of AT&Ts spectrum will also get cleared earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
