Sports park monopole740 viewsCingular is responsible for this site. The BTS equipment is located below/behind the score board (left side of photo). This might have been a good site for a cell-flag instead of just a 'plain old' monopole.Dec 19, 2004
cells.orco.irvine.cing.PC190002.jpg
Business Park Monument645 viewsThis Cingular site is hidden inside a business park monument. The BTS equipment is in the fenced area in the middle-center of the photograph.Dec 19, 2004

cells.i15.escond.ca.PC150050.JPG
Faux Water Tank, plus...593 viewsAlong the I15 just at the north end of Escondido you'll find this site. It contains a camo water tank, a second carrier below (on the legs), and ground-mounted antennas to the right of the tank.Dec 16, 2004
cells.verizon.muriet.hot.PC150056.JPG
Camo faux barn878 viewsThis 'barn' is part of a family fun center. The carrier here is Verizon. Notice the GPS antenna to the right of the barn.1 commentsDec 15, 2004
cells.wilshire.la.PC110012.JPG
Multi-sector camo panels551 viewsThis is an interesting, albeit less than good example of externally mounting panels in camo boxes. Notice how the antenna panel cables are visible above the left-hand panel box, and below the right-hand panel box.Dec 11, 2004

barbri.wla.overview.jpg
Poor Camo Design792 viewsA camo site should effectively hide the antennas from public view. This site, in West Los Angeles, fails to do so, and illustrates the point. Camo is NOT just putting up some antenna blinds and painting to match.Dec 05, 2004
cell.cellrock.nextel.PC040013.jpg
Nextel Wireless Rock898 viewsThis is a camo rock used by Nextel at its Rocky Peak site in the Santa Susana Pass, California.Dec 04, 2004

Nextel's RF warning sign on its Wireless Rock1008 viewsThis is the RF warning sign on Nextel's rock. How do we knot this is a Nextel rock? Call the phone number on the warning sign and find out for yourself.Dec 04, 2004
cells.cellrock.pana.small.PC040017.jpg
Panoramic view of the Rocky Peak Wireless Rocks and Wireless Sign1596 viewsHere are 5 of the 6 cell rocks at Rocky Peak. The cell sign is hidden behind the cell rock in the foreground. Note that cell rocks are on concrete pads.

The equipment building with the small microwave antenna belongs to Nextel. The hidden building with the larger microwave antenna belongs to AT&T Wireless. Other carriers are in fenced cages below AT&T and Nextel.

This site houses Cingular, Sprint, Verizon, AT&T Wireless, and Nextel, and serves the Ronald Regan Freeway (SR118) at the east end of the Santa Susana Pass between Simi Valley and the San Fernando Valley.

Save for one of the Nextel rocks (shown in this gallery), there are no RF warning signs to alert the public to (suspected) high level RF fields around this easy-to-access site.

cells.cellrock.inside.PC040016.jpg
Peeking Inside a Wireless Rock1196 viewsThis is what an antenna looks like mounted inside a cellular rock. The two coaxial cables indicate that the antenna is actually two antennas inside one radome: one for transmit, and one for receive. Another panel antenna can easily be added on the mounting pole in the foreground.Dec 04, 2004
cells.cellrock.PC040009.jpg
Wireless Rock1065 viewsThis 'rock' houses one or more wireless antennas. The lifting ring bolt at the top of the rock is a nice touch. Santa Susana Pass, California. 1 commentsDec 04, 2004

Cell Pine965 viewsNot a bad tree design execution, save for the lack of branch coverage over the antennas.1 commentsDec 01, 2004
cells.yucai.pine.DSCN0764.jpg
Cell Pine734 viewsNotice how the tower owner stopped the 'bark' cladding just above the branch level. Also notice now well the painted tower shows through the branches. Not a good design as it draws the eye to the painted metal.Dec 01, 2004
cells.yucaipa.pine.DSCN0760.jpg
Another Sad Little Cell Pine984 viewsThis cell pine, owned by American Tower, is a fairly poor design as far as camo goes. Like other poor designs for cell pines, this design contains too few branches, and the 'crown' of vertical branches is a dead-giveaway.5 commentsDec 01, 2004
cells.wla.smblvdi405.P1010051.jpg
Rooftop macrocell824 viewsThis macrocell is located atop a hotel next to the San Diego Freeway in West Los Angeles. Sorry, no room service on the roof.Nov 27, 2004

cells.tarzana.venblvd.20041126.P1010022.jpg
Partial Camo on Roof690 viewsNote the relatively good color match on the camo housing on the roof in the center of the photo, but lack of full camo on the far housing. This is a relatively poor design as equipment can be viewed from street level.Nov 27, 2004
cells.camo.venice.ca.P10100.jpg

Cingular underground cell site equipment1252 viewsThe BTS equipment vault, in the foreground, serves a Cingular's light standard microcell. The green pedestal houses the power company meter, and is subject to removal if the power company allows unmetered or remotely metered service sometime in the future.Nov 13, 2004
cells.oakparkca.gps.PB12006.jpg
Church bell tower - GPS antenna882 viewsThis is what first caught my eye: The poorly placed GPS antenna. A better design--one not visible to ground level viewers--would have been to place it at the top of the bell tower out of sight, or on the 'back side' where it would not been seen by church goers.Nov 13, 2004
cells.oakparkca.face.PB1200.jpg
Church bell tower886 viewsThis site, in Oak Park, California, is located in the bell tower of a church. The give-aways are (1) the poorly placed GPS antenna on the right side of the tower, and (2) the poor paint match of the bell tower extension.Nov 13, 2004

Cell Pine under construction - Close up1060 viewsHere's a close-up of the branch attachment pegs for this cell pine. Notice how well the cables, seen at the very top of the photograph, are hidden by the branches. Also, notice the faux pine needle cover on the antenna to the right of the trunk. A good job by American Tower.Oct 30, 2004
cells.yucipa.cellpine.underconstr.DSC03201.JPG
Cell Pine under construction841 viewsThe branch attachment pegs are visible in this photograph. Note the relatively random layout of the pegs, and the fairly good coverage of the antennas at the top. This is an American Tower site in California.Oct 30, 2004

cells.wla.barringtonmdu.20020120.DSC01952.JPG
Camo on an apartment building785 viewsIt was a hard call: Is this a camo or non-camo site? Well, the antennas are hidden behind the enclosure on the right side of the roof, but there was no attempt to hide the BTS equipment in the middle of the roof. Overall, a very poor design.Oct 24, 2004
cells.wla.roof.pstorage.20020120.DSC01956.JPG
Camo site on a Public Storage building862 viewsHere's a multi-sector camo installation on a PS building in Los Angeles. The antennas are located inside the box structures on the face of the building.Oct 24, 2004

Waving the Flag and the Signal1081 viewsThis camo flag is adjacent to a major freeway. Note that under federal law the flag must be illuminated at night (it's not). Oct 24, 2004
cell-i5-SanDCA-P1300007.jpg
Is that an AIRCRAFT warning light on the tree?1057 viewsThis site is on USMC property in San Diego County. The red light on the trop of the cell pine tree warns off low flying helicopters. Notice how the bark cladding stops at the level of the lowest branches. Also notice how much reflective the trunk is without the cladding. The bark cladding should have been extended all the way up the tree trunk.Oct 24, 2004
cell.flag.DSC05047.JPG
The many colors of Red, White, and Blue1163 viewsFlag maintenance (and federally required lighting) should be a condition of approval of flag cell sites like the one above. Note that some of the red color stripes have faded to orange.1 commentsOct 21, 2004
cell.parkinglot.DSC05036.JPG
Parking Lot Light Standard PCS Site852 viewsWhat you see, including the BTS equipment, is what you get in this parking lot site. Note the addition of the parking lot lights on either side of the antenna pole.Oct 21, 2004
nextel.irownwood.palmdesert.jpg
Faux penthouse extension810 viewsThis Nextel site has its antennas located inside the faux penthouse atop the building. Notice the uneven coverage of Spanish tiles on the sides. Oct 19, 2004
cells.palmdesert.palmtrees.jpg
Two very different camo cell palm trees1292 viewsNotice the striking design differences between the two cell palms One uses a light round trunk; the other a darker square trunk with a diamond cross-hatch design. Also notice the difference in palm coverage. The Time Warner Palm Desert headend self-supporting tower can been seen in the background of the enlarged photograph.Oct 19, 2004
cells.palmdesert.cellpalmdate.pa190017.jpg
Is that a Diamond-shaped date?1880 viewsThe diamond-shaped device belong the cell antennas is a flat panel microwave antenna. In many cases, the purpose of this antenna is to save the carrier the cost of leasing a data line from the local telephone company. The trade off is that the antenna weakens or destroys the camouflage nature of the site. Not recommended in most cases. How 'bout the fact that the panel antenna supports aren't cut off above the panels. Also notice how the 'bark cladding' stops below the level of the palms. Not a complete camo solution by any means. Finally, is there a brighter green that might draw the eye even more effectively than the panel antenna on the right side? I think not!Oct 19, 2004
westale.caltrans.PA170033.jpg
Fake Cell Pine Diseased Tree1471 viewsThis has got to be one of my favorite cell trees...perhaps the worlds worst cell pine design. Yes, Nextel is to be commended on this design, not found in nature, spotted in West Los Angeles, California. Compare this to Nextel's truly good design for a cell pine.2 commentsOct 17, 2004

nextelSR91I110PA070039.JPG
Cell Pine with Antenna Panel Covers1248 viewsHere's a Nextel site at the intersection of the CA SR91 and I110. It's a good design, and uses what I lovingly call "pine needle slip covers" on the panel antennas.

Good branch coverage down the trunk. Good texturing on the trunk, too.

Nice job, Nextel!

cellpalmI405InglewoodBlvdPA070046.JPG
A Sad Little Cell Palm1051 viewsIt is a cell pine? It is a monopole with a few palms attached? It is an example of how to 'sell' the community on a cell pine without delivering? You decide.

No texture on the pole; no real attempt to provide adequate palm cover.

Spotted off the I405 near Inglewood Blvd. in the Southbay area of Los Angeles.

DSC03204.output.JPG
What's that below the fans?1188 viewsTake one poorly configured camouflaged cell palm tree and then abandon any desire to keep it camouflaged. How? Just add non-camo antennas bolted onto the 'trunk' below the fans as seen in this photograph. To see what this cell palm looked like before the addition of the bolt-on antennas, see "...before the mast" in this section!Sep 26, 2004
P9260009.JPG
Lattice but not a tower876 viewsThe antennas at this site in Santa Monica, California are partiallyhidden behind the lattice above the roof. A better design would have required the two visible antenna pole mounts to be cut off above the antennas so as to be hidden from view.Sep 26, 2004
P9260013.JPG
Mismatched Bricks1287 viewsHere is an example of a faux building extension with a poorly matched 'brick' facing. There's no doubt that this design does not effectively hide the antennas behind the faux brick facing. Notice that no effort was made to match the brick patter of the underlying building thereby highlighting the 'out of place' nature of the extension.

Camofulaged AML Receive Site?2736 viewsBack in 1983 Storer Cable was trying to secure a microwave-receive site on a hillside in San Juan Capistrano. The architect retained by Storer lost most of his hair trying to get a design that would pass muster with the City. One night, in a fit of frustration, he came up with this design. We never submitted this one to the City. Pity. It would have been fun!Dec 31, 2003
