A Tower that's Really a Tower976 viewsAT&T and Sprint occupy the tower above this building in Temecula, California. The antennas are located adjacent to the 'windows', and the equipment cabinets are hidden by the roof parapets. The name of the center is, oddly, the Tower Plaza! A very good design, indeed.

Camo Watertank Site893 viewsT-Mobile's water tank camo site in Chino Hills, California

Barn There; Done That915 viewsVerizon's site equipment is located behind the well-marked door inset in the driveway. Notice the GPS antenna at the roof of the antenna enclosure...it should have been located inside the antenna housing.

Barn There; Done That916 viewsThis is a nice Verizon Wireless site off of I-580 in Berkeley California. The antennas are in the enclosure at the peak of the roof. There is a GPS antenna mounted above (which should have been inside).

Days'd and Confused1105 viewsNextel need only extend the flashing to and across the top of its antenna enclosure to make this a very good site.

Days'd and Confused890 viewsJust a bit more flashing, if you please.

Now you see it; now you shouldn't.1368 viewsAs an example of how to ALMOST construct a camouflaged site, look at this photograph. Nextel's camo box fails to extend the flashing around the top of its enclosure. As a result, from ground level you can see the coaxial cables running over the top parapet to the camo box. I've created a photo simulation to illustrate how little it would have taken to complete the camouflage for this site, and the benefits of that little effort. Planners, think about these things...they will make a great difference in the result of your work.

Camouflaged Antenna, Exposed BTS Cabinets1120 viewsNotice the BTS cabinets of the two carriers installed on the roof of this shopping center adjacent to the tower camouflaging the antennas. This photo take from an adjacent commercial site parking lot.

Sprint Camo Elevator Penthouse Site573 viewsIn West Los Angeles, Sprint's antennas are located in a faux elevator penthouse, and the base telecommunications station equipment is in the foreground on the left side. If you look closely on the top of the parapet you'll see a pair of AT&T Wireless (now Cingular) omnidirectional antennas. Those antennas are featured elsewhere in this gallery.

Well, it's mostly a camo site!1059 viewsNotice how the panel antennas peek over the top of the faux-whatcha-ma-call-it. This is possibly due to an antenna change out that didn't consider (or perhaps care) about the length of the new antenna.

Not a good design.1 comments

I feel the power in Claremont, California (1 of 2)740 viewsThis freestanding cross houses Verizon's antennas at a church site off of I-210 in Claremont, California. This site was originally constructed by PacBell Mobile.

I feel the power in Claremont, California (2 of 2)596 viewsThis is Verizon's equipment building for its church cross antenna site off I-210 in Claremont, California. Note the gas power generator mounted adjacent to the equipment building. Verizon seems to be adding gas gens where permitted to allow for uninterrupted service in the event of a local power failure.

It's a Gas!611 viewsCompare this photo, taken in May 2005, with the photo of the same site taken in June 2001. You'll see the replacement of the center antenna in each sector. Not nearly as clean as the original design, shown here. City of Los Angeles (Brentwood area).

An Executive Quality Installation - Part 2666 viewsIn the other photo of this site (elsewhere in this gallery) I didn't show the location of the equipment cabinets. Based on requests from site users, here is a photo showing the equipment location behind the hedge.

Camo Site in Shopping Center523 viewsThe camo site is located in the clocktower of this shopping center.

Camo, almost matching... (2 of 2)607 viewsThis Cingular site is a good example of the need to carefully plan how much of an existing wall will be replaced with a fiberglass camo panel. In this case, the cut out portion of the wall, now replaced with a painted/textured RF transparent panel, is clearly visible. A better approach would have been for the carrier to cut from wood panel edge to panel edge so that the difference, if visible, would have been more uniform.

Pumping Signal773 viewsA camo windmill 'hides' this cell site, located on I-10 near Pomona, California.1 comments

Sprint Camo Cell Pine1184 viewsThis Sprint site, under construction as photographed, features a tree designed and installed by Radian Communications Services Corp. The branch coverage is excellent, and the panel antennas are virtually invisible due to branch coverage and camo covers. So, who says it can't be done right? Quite nice!1 comments

Nextel Camo Site - Completed582 viewsElsewhere in this gallery you'll find a photo of this site while under construction. This photo shows the completed site.

Corner parapets hide antennas619 viewsThe cell antennas are behind the add-on parapets on each building corner.

Belting out the RF819 viewsThe 'belt' around the middle of this structure hides cell antennas. Notice two things: (1) at the far end of the left side you can see some of the antenna cables; and (2) the traditional cell site behind this project.1 comments

Sort-of Camo804 viewsThis cell site is atop a two story commercial building. Note the use of the old-style RF transparent covers in front of the antennas.

Camo on an apartment building813 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.

Camo-ish on-building cell site (close-up)1477 viewsLook at how the antennas are covered with the brick-link material. Also note the color bands on the antenna cables. The color bands are used to show the service technician which cables are for transmitting, and which are receiving. The color bands also indicate additional information such as the antenna 'sector' and data transmission.

Camo-ish on-building cell site1118 viewsThis is an example of how surface mounted antennas can be detailed to blend, if not disappear, into the background of the structure.

What time is it?1609 viewsIt's time to make a cell phone call. This is a multiple carrier cell site.

Camo site atop broadcast center1885 viewsMajor network studio in Los Angeles. Transmission facilities hidden behind decorative work on top of the building. 1 comments

Disguised as Bricks1580 viewsAnother example of disguise painting used to conceal antennas on a complex surface. From a distance, they are barely noticeable.

Simple plastic covering.1518 viewsThis antenna structure looks more like a large swamp cooler on top of a building, but it is constructed out of translucent plastic panels to shield from view, but not interfere with RF.

Disguise site to look like a chimney1396 viewsThis antenna site in Los Angeles is designed to look like a chimney. Note the panel covers.

Camofulaged AML Receive Site?2760 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!

Faux chimney antenna site 2 of 22948 viewsThe antennas are in a faux chimney (center of roof).

Faux chimney antenna site 1 of 24008 viewsThe antennas are in a faux chimney. The base station equipment is adjacent to the house in the lower right portion of the photo. Spotted in Southern California.
