From the album: Athens, MI Tower

Ah. That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification. I took a second look at the site and it looks like there are two RRUs. -
I know that site doesn't fall within the IBEZ boundary. What's the MSC boundary?
-
So I went and looked at the tower in Athens, MI and it only looks like there is only 1 RRU per antenna, unless I can't see the second one. Does this mean this site won't be getting 800MHz LTE? The tower climbers said they were installing 2.5GHz equipment, but I don't seem to see those up there either. I wasn't able to get the best pictures since I was taking photos with my phone.

Hopefully that is a sign that 1x 800 and 800 LTE will be turned on soon if they are for some reason installing band 41 equipment.

Thanks for your help. I'll keep this in mind when I'm out spotting.

Thanks for the replies! I wasn't aware that there isn't a separate antenna for 800MHz. Thanks for clarifying. I live west of I-69 in Union City, MI. The tower I am referring to is located in Athens, MI. When I was out there I didn't look that closely at the antennas so I couldn't tell you, but I'll have to make a point and look now. So if it has one, the site won't be getting 800MHz at all or just not anytime soon? I haven't picked up any 1x800 or 800 LTE around my area.

They were adding 2.5 GHz equipment to an existing site that has been 3G upgraded and has added 1900 MHz equipment to it.

I new to this thread. I have a question about 800MHz LTE and Sprints 2.5GHz band 41. I live in Southern Michigan and about a week ago I talked to some Sprint tower climbers that were installing 2.5 equipment on a water tower in my rural area. The first thing I was wondering is why they would be installing 2.5GHz equipment before 800MHz LTE antennas? Seems like that would be installed in bigger cities this early in the upgrade process.
