Cell Towers located at Maverick Stadium (track, football field) in Arlington, Texas featuring AT&T and T-Mobile equipment on separate monopole structures!

As you can see, I was walked around South Davis Street and stumbled upon cellular equipment beside UTA Parking Lot 27! I was surprised to see how short the AT&T site is, especially because it doesn't have the best range since it's very short and the sectors are facing southeast away from West Campus where the Architecture building, MAC (Maverick Activity Center), The Commons dining area for example! AT&T just upgraded this site [LEFT] side with 3.45GHz DoD via. Ericsson AIR. 6419-B77G antennas 3 weeks ago back in September! T-Mobile upgraded this site with the NOKIA AEHC (n41) antenna back in 2021! Back in the day, the T-Mobile site (RIGHT) side was a Sprint site since the late 2000's until 2021 when T-Mobile kept it as an Sprint keep site to be converted with T-Mobile equipment! AT&T backhaul on this site wasn't the best when I last tested it because I'm only able to get 650-700Mbps max on this site on 100MHz (3.7GHz) c-band since (3.45GHz) DoD is not active yet on this particular site. Both AT&T and T-Mobile have a very congested network in this area since these sites serve UTA where thousands of students attend and during midday, the speeds drop a lot, or even early morning when people are trying to use their phones! What's very unique on this AT&T site is that they are using 6 Kathrein 80010965 antennas for (b2, b5, b12, b14, b30, b66) LTE + (n5) low-band 5G, which isn't common to see them use in the DFW (Dallas-Fort Worth) market/region. The only region where I seen AT&T use these old Kathrein 80010965/80010966 antennas is like in SoCal (Los Angeles, San Diego, Anaheim, San Francisco, San Jose, Sacramento, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Tucson, Cleveland, etc.)

Verizon site spotted on TowerNorth owned monopole west of UTA (University of Texas at Arlington) at 105 University Drive, Arlington, TX 76013

I was walking around UTA until I stumbled upon this 125 feet monopole tower that has Verizon equipment on it! From what I can tell, Verizon co-located on this tower when it was built all the way back in October 2024! This new Verizon site is a re-location from their old site that was across the street on top of Maverick Stadium (C.R. Gilstrap Athletic Center) on the roof-top of the MEDIA/Press box because the landlord raised rent, and Verizon didn't want to renew the lease! Instead, what you're seeing here is the new Verizon site that was added after the old site was decomissioned last year (2025). From what I can tell, this site may look like it doesn't have (b48) CBRS, but it actually does have CBRS passive mimo on (b48) LTE + (n48) mid-band 5G via. 3 CommScope NHHSS-65C-R2BT4 antennas in the MIDDLE of their rack!

Equipment being using:

  • 3️⃣ CommScope NHH-65C-R2B antennas TOTAL with bands: (13, 66) LTE + (n2) ePCS @ 15MHz + (n66) eAWS @ 10MHz for mid-band 5G
  • 1️⃣ CommScope NHH-65C-R2B antennas per sector located in the MIDDLE
  • 3️⃣ CommScope NHHSS-65C-R2BT4 antennas with bands: (13, 48 [CBRS], 66) LTE + 15MHz + (n48) CBRS + (n66) eAWS @ 10MHz for mid-band 5G
  • 1️⃣ CommScope NHHSS-65C-R2BT4 antennas per sector located in the MIDDLE

Verizon recently co-located on this monopole cell tower owned by Skyway Towers located at Cross Creek Ranch Water Plant No. 1 (28228 FM 1093, Fulshear, TX 77441) behind St. Faustina Catholic Church

Verizon just co-located on this 105 feet tall Skyway Tower site within the past month! From what I can tell, they decided to implement a 4-sector rack configuration that's very interesting because they want to provide more capacity, coverage in all 4-directions (ALPHA, BETA, GAMMA, DELTA) sectors. This site should help reduce the network congestion Verizon has been experiencing a lot lately in the area, especially when there are a lot of houses nearby where their network can get heavy overloaded, congested since they have a decent amount of marketshare in Fulshear. Hopefully, T-Mobile will co-locate on this tower next year because they struggle a lot around the residential neighborhoods nearby with 1-2 bars of 5GUC pulling less than 100 mbps, with medicore 2-6 mbps uplink! Interesting enough, this Verizon site did not get the brand new Samsung MT-6433-77A [480W] antenna because Verizon planned this new site build all the way back in January 2025 so it is using the older Gen 2 Samsung MT-6413-77A - 64T64R (320W) 3.7GHz n77 antennas mid-band 5GUW @ 160MHz. The other existing Verizon site nearby actually has a high-capacity set-up with MatSing antennas and Samsung MT-6407-77A (200W) antennas for (n77) on the tall Crown Castle Tower site that also has AT&T, T-Mobile present.

Equipment Verizon is using:

  • 8️⃣ CommScope NHH-45C-R2B antennas TOTAL with bands: (2, 13, 66) LTE + (n5) - 10MHz low-band 5G
  • 2️⃣ CommScope NHH-45C-R2B antennas per sector located in the MIDDLE of the rack
  • 4️⃣ Samsung MT-6413-77A (320W) 64T64R [Gen 2] antennas for [3.7GHz] c-band set at 160MHz [Fort Bend County, TX] located on the LEFT side

New AT&T 4-sector site spotted on this cell tower located below the T-Mobile rack on the bottom near Nelson Field (Austin, TX)

So my friend recently visited the Austin, TX region and stumbled upon an brand new AT&T site co-location on this monopole below the T-Mobile rack. Really interesting that they went with a 4-sector rack deployment instead of the 3-sector sites that is more common in Dallas, San Antonio, El Paso, and rest of the country! It's good to see AT&T improving their network in Austin, when it wasn't their strongest market in the past because their towers were pretty spaced out in this area compared to T-Mobile. From what I know, the closest AT&T site was 0.6 miles away located at 2315 1/2 E Anderson Ln, Austin, TX 78752 and that site doesn't have good range since the RSRP would be over -100 near this spot! AT&T has been aggressively densifying their network in Austin, they have added like 10+ new sites in this region within the past year! T-Mobile + Verizon also have been adding new sites in Round Rock, Leander, Cedar Park, Georgetown in the suburbs! This new AT&T rack does not (b30) 2300MHz-WCS deployed because it doesn't have good range + it's not really helpful anymore when they have a more refined/optimized 5G Standalone network now. T-Mobile has like the most macro sites in Austin, TX thanks to them having decent marketshare, roughly over 40% and the Sprint merger that helped them convert like 85% of the Sprint keep sites all the way back in 2020-2024! Hence, T-Mobile actually has a lot of (b2, b66) LTE + (n41) small cells deployed throughout the Austin metro area while Verizon + AT&T have majority of their small cells congregated around downtown Austin, The Domain, outer suburbs! Verizon has been upgrading many small cells in Austin with n77 (3.7GHz) c-band via. Samsung MT-1602D (16T16R) antennas.

Equipment AT&T [bottom] rack is using:

  • 8️⃣ CCI TPA45R-BU6B antennas with bands: (2, 5, 12, 14, 66) LTE + (n5) - 15MHz for low-band 5G
  • 4️⃣ Ericsson AIR. 6472 (B77G/B77M) 64T64R antennas that can do (3.7GHz) c-band @ 80mhz + (3.45GHz) DoD - 60MHz located in the MIDDLE of the rack

Cell Tower owned by Crown Castle (CC)

u/iryfionas — 12 days ago

T-Mobile recently co-located on this Vertical Bridge owned cell tower below the AT&T rack on the bottom yesterday located at 1507 Katy Flewellen Road, Katy Texas, 77494!

T-Mobile finally installed their equipment on this cell site after delaying the site for nearly 3 years when the network cabinets for the baseband units were installed. From what I can tell, T-Mobile has decided to face their antennas in different directions compared to AT&T and Verizon in order to limit site interference or bad SINR from a neighboring site they have about a mile away north of I-10. You can tell this site was planned for a while because they appear to be using the older NOKIA AirScale AEHC - (N41) 2.5GHz [320W] antennas for mid-band 5GUC that came out in late 2020 instead of the newer + higher power NOKIA AirScale AVHA - (N41) 2.5GHz [400W] antenna due to equipment shortages. This site was well needed because the neighboring T-Mobile site north of I-10 & Danover road gets really congested since it serves the busy shopping center (Katy Mills) where thousands of people congregate together during the weekends during rush hour, even with multi-gig backhaul due to them having a lot of marketshare! I'm told T-Mobile is going to run multi-gig (10Gbps) backhaul on this site using AT&T fiber. Verizon is using their own MCI dark fiber on this site while AT&T is using their own fiber for backhaul at 1Gbps. I saw the contractors running the wires for the antennas, remote radio units earlier in the afternoon, which means that T-Mobile is nearly done installing their equipment. I hope T-Mobile turns on this site soon since the power meter was just installed, and I saw the fronthaul, baseband units being worked on.

History of this cell tower: Verizon was the first carrier that co-located on this tower when it was first built back in early 2017. Verizon owned this monopole tower until they sold it to Vertical Bridge (VB) in 2023-2024! Verizon received mid-band 5G on this cell tower via. the Samsung MT-6407-77A (200W) antenna in 2022! AT&T was the 2nd carrier to co-locate on this cell tower nearly 6 years ago (November 2020) with LTE before it was upgraded with mid-band 5G (3.7GHz) c-band in May 2022! Fun fact, T-Mobile deployed an small cell built by Crown Castle beside this cell tower along Katy Flewellen Road back in 2025 that has (b2, b66) LTE + (n25, n41) for mid-band 5G prior to their equipment being added.

New Verizon co-location on this existing cell tower (monopole) located at 4418 Williams Lake Drive, College Station, TX 77845

As you can see in the photo that I annotated, Verizon has co-located on this cell tower within the past several weeks since their antennas look pristine and brand spanking new! This fills in an coverage gap for them because their RSRP previously was very poor since it would be over -105 RSRP on (3.7GHz) n77 since the other closest site (eNB 121388) was over 1.6 miles away west of TX-6 Highway near Discount Tire! It's good to see Verizon continuing to improve their network by densifying their network because they are continuing to build more residential neighborhoods (houses) + subdivisions in this area! What's also odd is that AT&T didn't deployed 3.45GHz (DoD) equipment on their rack, just 3.7GHz (c-band) since it's missing the Ericsson AIR. 6419-B77G antenna in the MIDDLE! This cell site is located in the outskirts of town where it doesn't get as busy compared to the other side of College Station where there's way more people, especially younger adults in this college town. What is also interesting to see for this new Verizon rack is that it features 4-sectors mounted on a square mount/rack arrangement, which is uncommon to see everyday on most of their towers that are typically only 3 sectors mounted on a triangular rack mount!

T-Mobile small cell with bands: (2, 66) LTE + (n41) mid-band 5GUC at UTA (Arlington, Texas) beside Arlington Hall dormitory

T-Mobile performing great at this busy university, where there can be a lot of people roaming around! AT&T was struggling a lot in the University Center indoors where I loose service in the dining area! T-Mobile has a rooftop site at the administration building!

Skinny Verizon rooftop site + Verizon (n261) mmWave small cell spotted near the intersection of Crawford Street & Leeland Street beside Toyota Center Parking Garage in Houston, Texas

My friend found an Verizon (eNB 120102) rooftop site that can be hard to see from the ground depending on where you're at. From what I can tell, Verizon recently upgraded this site back in January 2026! Notice how close th 2 CommScope NHH-65B-R2B antennas are beside each other and the Samsung MT-6413-77A (320W) 64T64R antenna on the bottom for (3.7GHz) c-band n77 set at 160MHz.

Verizon is on the wooden pole on the right side for (n261) 28GHz mmWave using:

First T-Mobile site in Houston, TX to get the brand new Nokia AirScale AVHA [400W] 64T64R antenna for (n41) mid-band 5GUC located at 1714 Jackson Street, Houston, Texas 77003

So my friend recently visited downtown Houston and he stumbled upon a T-Mobile site that previously lacked (n41) 2.5GHz for mid-band 5GUC in the past several months until recently, when the 3rd party contractors added 3 new NOKIA AirScale AVHA - (N41) 2.5GHz [400W] antennas for mid-band 5GUC set at 190MHz on the RIGHT side of the rack. This T-Mobile site really needed it because it gets pretty congested, bogged down when there are events happening in downtown Houston, or even at Toyota Center down the street since many people frequently visit this area during the NBA season, or when an convention is happening. I'm just amazed that T-Mobile finally deployed (n41) on their site because it was the only site in downtown Houston that did not have it for years while neighboring sites had the older Nokia AirScale AEHC panel for (n41) since late 2020-2022! I hope to see them deploy the newer Nokia AirScale AVHA antennas on more sites in the Houston market and this site has great performance since backhaul was upgraded from 1GiG to 10Gbps backhaul using AT&T fiber for backhaul. Notice that AT&T has two racks on this monopole tower! The one on the top is for their typical (b2, b12, b14, b30, b66) LTE, low-band 5G (n5), mid-band 5G (n77) 3.7GHz + 3.45GHz (DoD) while the bottom rack is exclusively for mmWave (n260).

Monopole Cell Tower owned by Crown Castle (CC)

u/iryfionas — 2 months ago

New T-Mobile mini tower recently at the intersection of Texas Avenue & Southwest Parkway - College Station, Texas to address the poor speeds/performance in the area where RSRP sucks

So my friend recently drove around Texas Ave in College Station and he stumbled upon an brand new small cell/mini tower that belongs to T-Mobile based on the look, design of the node! From what I was told by the engineer/site planning team, they are adding like 10+ mini towers/small cells in College Station in the next several months and the contractor that's doing it is Verta (Vertical By Design)! T-Mobile really needed these small cells badly because they have the most marketshare in College Station compared to Verizon, AT&T and their 2.5GHz (n41) spectrum holdings aren't the best! Last photo shows the really bad speeds T-Mobile was getting since this area has very fringe, weak RSRP on (n41) that it drops to low-band indoors!

T-Mobile only has 50MHz (n41) + 40MHz (n41) = 90MHz n41 total on 2.5GHz that's fragmented/non-continuous because Texas A&M University is hogging most of the spectrum for the parking meters, communications! They don't have the best speeds in this market since it's hard to pull more than 200 mbps on (N41), and some spots don't have functional service, or horrible latency/uplink that calls drops!

T-Mobiel is using

  • 3️⃣ CellMax 12010x (CMA-UBDHH-6518/E2-10) antennas with (b2, b66) LTE & (n25) mid-band 5G inside the circular, oval shroud on TOP
  • 3️⃣ NOKIA AirScale AVHA 64T64R (400W) (n41) 2.5GHz for mid-band 5GUC in the MIDDLE
  • 3️⃣ NOKIA AirScale AHFII remote radio units used for (b2/b66) LTE + (n25) mid-band 5G located on the bottom row below the NOKIA AVHA panels.

T-Mobile removed/un-installed their antennas at Texas A&M University - College Station, TX just this month after it was just installed last year (March-August 2025)!

My friend recently went to Texas A&M located in College Station and recently, he noticed that the antennas that T-Mobile added at this university last year to increase capacity, speeds, coverage on campus has been decomissioned! Verizon + AT&T have their own antennas for the oDAS (outdoor distributed antenna system) managed by Crown Castle! From what I can tell, they removed all the antennas, including the remote radio units on the roof-top! T-Mobile gets horrible speeds that you can't pull more than 25 mbps when there's 50,000+ students on campus when classes is in session! The reason why the equipment was removed according to the engineer is because there were issues with the installation of the equipment, such as poor wiring management since some cables were installed incorrectly to the baseband units and backhaul to the nodes wasn't evenly distributed, optimized properly! In Addition, these new antennas for T-Mobile were not even turned on completely yet and it doesn't make sense to me how a poor installation would make them remove all their equipment. It's not a lease dispute with A&M since Crown Castle, now (Arium Networks) is the vendor managing the equipment for all the big three. You can see the empty rods where T-Mobile used to have their antennas laid out at! Verizon + AT&T cellular equipment is pretty old since it was added way back in 2016-2017 with only LTE (b2, b12, b66) LTE + (n5) low-band 5G for AT&T and (b2, b13) LTE only for Verizon. I hope T-Mobile is able to find a solution to reinstall their antennas because they have the largest amount of users at Texas A&M and their network gets bogged down heavily when there are events, classes being held, football games, parties happening on campus!

PHOTO #4 - LAST PHOTO shows the T-Mobile equipment that was added near the AT&T, Verizon antenna last year in another spot!

So recently, T-Mobile removed all their equipment on that includes:

Verizon vs AT&T mid-band 5G SpeedTests inside Parks Mall - Arlington, Texas

AT&T did the best inside the mall since they have an indoor DAS deployed while Verizon struggles once I ventured onto the 1st floor beside Dicks Sporting Goods!

Verizon could add an indoor DAS at this mall because their upload speeds were struggling a lot!

My friend found an high-capacity Verizon site on the top of this monopole with MatSing antennas + Samsung MT-6407 (200W) antennas located near the corner of Diesel Street & Summer Street in Houston, TX 77007

My friend was driving around Houston until he stumbled upon an cell tower that has all the big three carriers on it (Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T) top to bottom! It appears that Verizon upgraded the site several months ago to add high-end MatSing MBA high-capacity antennas! Previously, Verizon had ancient JMA antennas on their rack that were installed way back in 2015! This is good to see them adding high-capacity MatSing antennas on existing sites that can cover more sectors since the antenna is multi-beam and it has very good range, penetration indoors! Credit to my friend for letting me share these photos with his SpeedTest on Verizon mid-band 5G (n77) + LTE on NSA (non-standalone) 5G! Also, Verizon installed white, tiny CBNG VECTASTAR 600 (n260) mmWave antenna for (PTP) - Point to Point mmWave MDU FWA located on the LEFT side of the rack Let me know what you think of this site?

Shoutout to my friend for finding this roof-top Verizon site! From what I can tell based on looking on Google Satellite View imagery, it appears that AT&T + T-Mobile also have antennas on top of this building! Recently, this Verizon site was LTE only until late 2025 when it got upgraded from the old JMA antennas to newer CommScope antennas + Samsung gear!

Verizon recently retrofitted/upgraded their equipment on this tower from 3-sector to 4-sector located at 88 Berry Road, Houston, TX 77022

Shoutout to my friend for finding this monopole cell tower in his market (Houston, TX) near the corner of Berry Road & Fulton Street in the Northside! From what I was told, he noticed how the Verizon rack looks way different compared to how it looked like a few months ago! It appears that they ripped all of the older antennas, Samsung (RRU's) from the rack! Also, Verizon completely adjusted the sectors on this site since they completely repositioned how the antennas are facing and they added new mounting brackets, rods to support the newer equipment! My friend also told me how much better the RSRP, signal strength is on Verizon on (n77), especially with the better, higher power Samsung MT-6413 (64T64R) antennas that replaced the older Samsung MT-6407-77A (200W) antennas that were added back in early 2022! What shocked me the most was Verizon completely removing the Samsung MT-6407 antenna from an site that was already upgraded 4 years ago, which isn't common to see everyday! I also wanna give my friend a huge shoutout for sharing me an Verizon (n77) SpeedTest from that site! Overall, it's great to see Verizon continuing to upgrade their network all over the Houston, TX market since a lot of sites have gotten touched again in the past 6-12 months with MatSing antennas, newer CommScope/JMA antennas or an new 4th sector being added from an pre-existing 3 sector site! Verizon now has multi-gig backhaul on this site and the speeds are tremendous since the SpeedTest wasn't taken directly in line of sight while in a moving vehicle!

FYI, AT&T wasn't on this tower until November 2022 when they co-located on the bottom rack on this monopole! Previously, AT&T had very weak RSRP, signal along Fulton Street way back in 2019-2022 since I have drove in the area back in the old days, which explains why the AT&T rack looks newer, modern compared to neighboring AT&T sites! However, some of the antennas have turned a different color, like cream/light color from White due to the excessive heat, UV sun light that stresses out the antennas in broad daylight as you can see!

T-Mobile (3-sector) rooftop site located on top of a office building located at 701 Highlander Boulevard, Arlington, Texas 76015 facing towards Matlock Road (Southeast), Highlander Blvd (Southwest) and West Arbrook Blvd (North)

I found an T-Mobile site located on top of this building while I was driving around and it appeared to have their equipment on it! From what I know, this site has multi-gig backhaul and it covers a pretty busy areal especially Costco always gets crowded during the weekdays, weekends, Arlington Highlands where there are many stores, restaurants around and The Highlands plaza where there's an Lowe's and In-N-Out burger in addition to an Residence Inn, Courtyard by Marriott Hotel! In the past, I have seen speeds over 900+ Mbps on T-Mobile on 3xCA-4xCA on mid-band 5GUC on (n41) 100MHz + (n41) 90MHz + (n25) 20MHz + (n71) 20MHz in the past!

FYI, This was one the first T-Mobile sites in Arlington, TX that received mid-band 5G (n41) since they upraded this site back in November-December 2020 so it has the earlier CommScope FFHH-65C-R3 antenna variant on the LEFT side instead of the FFVV-65C-R3 that we see on other sites!

Verizon site mounted on top of a transmission power line site west of New York Avenue beside Public Storage in Arlington, TX

I found this interesting looking Verizon site that's mounted very high on top of this power line! It covers a big area, especially since it reaches about a mile away at the Arlington Highlands down the road and near the QT Gas Station on Collins Street & IH 20 frontage road! I managed to get pretty good speeds on mid-band 5GUW (n77) @ 140MHz + (n2) - 15MHz !

AT&T (n77) SpeedTest at Grand Prairie Premium Outlet!

PART 2 of my post!

I managed to run an SpeedTest on AT&T and here are the speeds I got lol! AT&T closest site doesn’t work and it’s down due to a fiber cut, down for maintenance!

Verizon (n77) SpeedTest at Grand Prairie Premium Outlets

Verizon is the only carrier I have that’s working at Grand Prairie Premium outlets! Apparently, the closest AT&T is having issues and I think it’s down! Kinda absurd AT&T won’t load any data, my phone calls would drop and nothing would load! Verizon saving the day today

AT&T ripping out their whole rack on this tower located at 130 West Fairmeadows Drive, Duncanville, TX 75116 to remove older equipment

AT&T back in (June 2026) was upgrading their equipment on the top rack since from what I saw while I was pasisng by; they completely removed the top rack and replace some of the RODS, mounting brackets to reinforce the weight for the new equipment being added! As you can see, AT&T already had (n77) - 3.7GHz c-band on this site, but it was missing 3.45GHz (DoD) so they had to file another permit back in February to remove the 3 skinny CommScope SBNHH-1D65B antennas that were used for (b2, b12, b30, b66) LTE. They added 3 Ericsson AIR. 6419-B77G (64T64R) 3.45GHz antennas in the MIDDLE of the rack and replaced the ancient Ericsson RRU 32 (b2) PCS, (b66) AWS with the newer, more energy efficient RRU 4890HP for (b2, b66) LTE! They also upgraded backhaul on this site from 1Gbps to multi-gig! T-Mobile has an interesting split-sector configuration below for mid-band (b2, b66) LTE + (n25) mid-band 5G!
