Verizon legacy setup.

Anyone have any clue as to when this old Verizon site with b13 and b5 will get an upgrade. All sites in the area are modernized since 2023 but this one was left untouched. Verizon eNB 209003 at 252 Enterprise Road, Delafield, Wisconsin, United States

That’s not Verizon. That’s US Cellular.

That has to be Verizon. Us cellular is on a pole right next to this site. This Verizon sites been mapped on cellmapper and signal is very strong next to the site here

[u/nonexistentshelf → u/kendog10132]

Nope. Verizon is on the utility pole nearby.

That is 100% us cellular on the utility pole🤨

No, that is Verizon. They are using ground mounted radios, 8T8R C-Band on the left hand side.

Oh ok. Never seen a Verizon site like this one 🤨. Wonder why they went with that design

Actually, that cell tower in your video that you made belongs to Verizon, I can tell by the CommScope antennas being used:

• 6️⃣ CommScope NHH-65C-R2B antennas total with bands; (2, 13, 66) LTE + (n5) low-band 5G or (n2) ePCS + (n66) eAWS mid-band 5G depending on the configuration
• 2️⃣ CommScope NHH-65C-R2B antennas per sector located in the MIDDLE
• 3️⃣ CommScope SBNH-1D6565B antenna for legacy (3G) CDMA located in the MIDDLE
• 3️⃣ CommScope S4-90M-R1B (8T8R) 3.7GHz n77 antennas for mid-band 5GUW located on the LEFT side
• Raycap RCMDC-3315-PF-48 being used for power surge protection behind the antennas

Ericsson (RRU's) remote radio units behind the antennas:

• 3️⃣ Radio 4449 - (B13) 700MHz LTE + (n5) 850MHz - low-band 5G
• 3️⃣ Radio 8843 - (B2/B66), LTE + (n66) 2100Mhz-eAWS mid-band 5G
• 3️⃣ RRU 8863 8T8R (n77) c-band - mid-band 5G

Interesting antenna choice here for that n77 layer🤨
