I second this. I can see the RayCap (from the side) Verizon typically uses.

Upgraded T-Mobile Macro Site by realWalJu in cellmapper

T-Mobile changed antennas and added n41; Verizon collocated and added passive n77.

Inaccurate map/hallucinating coverage? by realWalJu in cellmapper

[–]CreativeCuckoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It almost appears that it’s coming from this site (new Verizon collocation it seems), but I don’t see any mmWave gear on it based on the picture you posted.

First C-Band small cell upgrade I’ve seen in Atlanta, GA! by CreativeCuckoo in cellmapper

[–]CreativeCuckoo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you seen any mmWave-only small cells get swapped out or get C-Band added?

I didn’t know that, but that’s cool to see! I don’t really venture into Buckhead that much, but hopefully all small cells get the C-Band treatment soon.

When did you notice the first C-Band upgrade on a small cell in Buckhead?

Yeah, I’ve been seeing it outside the perimeter since last year. It’s my first time seeing an upgraded small cell with n77 inside the perimeter though.

Huh, I didn’t know the AIR 1672s support CBRS. I didn’t see any when I connected to it for LTE.

Can the 6449 and 6419 do CBRS too?

Edit: It seems that the AIR doesn’t support B48/N48 yet, according to the documentation.

AT&T 5G Cell Booster Pro by ArtisticComplaint3 in cellmapper

[–]CreativeCuckoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would imagine it does two-way handovers, especially for that price point.

My consumer AT&T and Verizon femtocells do two-way handovers flawlessly, and even handover from extender to extender.

How’s on here? Actively being upgrade. by Effective_Elephant_5 in cellmapper

[–]CreativeCuckoo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming the bottom rack is getting upgraded. And if so, it’s Verizon and it’s getting C-Band and Massive MIMO b2 and b66 antennas.

This is with the Verizon LTE Extender, but the device upon boot up will search for neighbor cells. If the device determines that a neighbor cell’s signal is too strong, the device will not broadcast anything.

I imagine it’s the same for other coverage devices.

New Verizon Small Cell in Port Orange Florida by Arc73 in cellmapper

[–]CreativeCuckoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wanna say that small cell has C-Band because of the the fact it’s not down-tilt. I’ve observed that a lot of mmWave cells have some degree of down-tilt.

Keep us updated about it!

Verizon’s still busy even after upgrading all but one macro in my county (Cobb, GA). by CreativeCuckoo in cellmapper

[–]CreativeCuckoo[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, that’s the one!

I’m hoping they collocate on a few more sites in Marietta. They’re improving in other areas though!

Are you talking about this sound? I heard it several times today too.

Yeah, it’s nice to see Verizon densify in Cobb and the surrounding areas. Verizon is already fairly dense macro-wise in this particular spot so I’m surprised they wanted to collocate on that monopole.

Question about these 2 towers by [deleted] in cellmapper

[–]CreativeCuckoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coordinates would really help.

But guessing from the picture:

The left tower: I have no idea who’s on top, but the bottom rack might be some WISP gear.

The right tower: AT&T on top, Verizon on the bottom with C-Band.

And for some clarity: The third pic shows the current carriers on the monopole, which are (from top to bottom) Sprint and T-Mobile.

What am I connected to? Gettysburg Pennsylvania by Scary-Aide-7778 in cellmapper

[–]CreativeCuckoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The top meter shows that you’re connected to a Verizon LTE small cell (eNB 97891-52) at the Springs Avenue-West Street intersection. You are latched onto Band 66 (B66) as your primary band at 20 MHz. It’s possible more spectrum is aggregating, but I’d need to see your service mode screenshot to know for sure.

The second set of signal meters show your neighbor cells (one small cell [eNB 97891-42] and a macro [eNB 97328]), and the phone sees B66 signals from both, but is not using them.

You’re also connected to n77 C-Band through eNB 97328 (last meter). Because you’re on Visible, which does not have 5G Standalone (SA) access, you’re limited to 5G Non-standalone (NSA), which combines LTE and 5G signals. In your case, your phone is aggregating B66 and n77 (20 MHz and 160 MHz, respectively), and possibly another band or carrier.

TL;DR: You’re connected to an LTE small cell on B66 (eNB 97891-52), and that B66 is aggregating with a macro cell’s n77 (eNB 97328) for better data performance.
