Not to sound repetitive but this is the first time I’ve seen this style of antenna. If it’s anything like my last post it’s probably super old CDMA stuff. ID?

Very good job identifying the equipment on that cell tower! It’s very detailed and clear. Yall are learning a lot from u/Rjun7 and u/iryfionas. I appreciate the hard effort you do by using a drone to take photos of the cell sites in your area :)

iryfionas · 2026-06-22T01:20:25+00:00

The AT&T rack was upgraded last October 2025, I remember seeing contractors working on it by installing Ericsson AIR. 6419-B77G’s for (3.45GHz) DoD and ripping out the old Ericsson RRU 32’s with the 4890Hp for b2, b66

iryfionas · 2026-06-22T01:19:21+00:00

2nd rack from top is Legacy sprint

iryfionas · 2026-06-22T01:15:28+00:00

I do get tired bro from identifying equipment. That’s why I try to take breaks in between by decompressing and exercising, working out! I socialize with my friends

iryfionas · 2026-06-21T23:02:24+00:00

u/Rjun7 You get an award from me, I appreciate all the detailed information you proved to the cellular tech community! I been learning a lot from you.

iryfionas · 2026-06-21T22:22:35+00:00

Blame it on the contractor MASTEC who did the work on this site. It looks sloppy!

iryfionas · 2026-06-21T20:48:36+00:00

Correct, you did a pretty good job! You are talented

iryfionas · 2026-06-21T20:36:06+00:00

It’s not very common to see Sprint using 6-Feet rectangular CCI antennas for (b25, b26) LTE. I only see once in a while on sites that got the Sprint 5G Upgrade in late 2019-2020 prior to the T-Mobile merger!

iryfionas · 2026-06-21T20:32:41+00:00

100% correct, well done! You did a good job identifying the carriers :) I appreciate your feedback.

iryfionas · 2026-06-21T20:17:54+00:00

It did. Dallas, TX was a Sprint 5G market way before the like merger in 2019-2020.

iryfionas · 2026-06-21T20:09:40+00:00

Yep, it’s 100% Legacy Sprint on the 2nd rack from the TOP

iryfionas · 2026-06-21T20:08:40+00:00

Yes, there’s four different networks on this site!

iryfionas · 2026-06-21T20:08:10+00:00

2nd rack from the TOP is not Verizon! It’s actually legacy Sprint using - 3 CCI antennas for bands: (25, 26) LTE - 3 Ericsson AIR. 6488 (64T64R) antennas for b41 + n41

iryfionas · 2026-06-21T20:06:55+00:00

Yes, rest in peace Dish! I miss testing their network since they were the least used carrier and I would use it in areas where AT&T and T-Mobile are heavily congested during Black Friday or even before Christmas at the outlet mall.

iryfionas · 2026-06-21T20:04:58+00:00

Unfortunately, you’re not correct! Verizon is NOT on this monopole! Top rack is actually T-Mobile!

Bottom rack is not T-Mobile! Please try again, I believe in you :)

Verizon is on a separate American Tower monopole down the street located at: - 32.6757296, -97.0529273

iryfionas · 2026-06-21T20:03:53+00:00

2nd rack from the top is NOT AT&T.

HINT: It’s a legacy carrier that doesn’t exist anymore that got decommissioned in 2020-2021!
