Sending out the word...to Los Angeles International Airport441 viewsThis is an AT&T Wireless site just north of LAX. It's a rather poor design Notice (1) the panels just above the roof line; the microwave panel antenna offset from the bell tower; and the cable runs down to the equipment building. A good design element (perhaps the only one) is the use of the brick face on AT&T's pre-fab building.

Sprint - Microcell using Sanders CATV radio428 viewsSprint (especially in conjunction with Cox) deployed a significant number of the Sanders cable TV/cell interface.

Store that Signal!417 viewsThe roof-mounted cable tray supporting the antenna coax cables can be clearly seen in this photo.

Two Sectors - One into a hillside!413 viewsAs seen in the accompanying photo, the left-pointing antennas (sector) seem to provide excellent coverage for the hillside, and not much beyond it. It would be interesting to know how much power this site and antennas produce, and whether any portion of the hillside is in an RF controlled zone. The hillside, as you can see in the photo, is quite accessible to the general public.

Side Saddle Microwave Dish Installation409 viewsThis cell site uses a microwave dish antenna system to provide backhaul to the MTSO. The interesting note for this site is the side saddle (offset) installation of the dish antenna. In most metro installations, a microwave antenna saves the carrier the cost of leasing a telco dataline, but at the expense of adding visual loading to the project.
