Lots of Cell Tower workers busy the last week or so, whats up?

[PRDATR]

It seems like almost all the towers in the Tempe area have had someone working on them most of the week.

Not sure if its the reason but now tmobile and sprint are piggybacking off of verizon towers. Maybe they are setting up the new network for those companies

[Arizona Griz]

Really not more than normal.

 

T-Mobile is starting to build a little.

 

Sprint hasn't built a site in quite a while.

 

Verizon is building alot everywhere.

 

ATT is doing mods to their existing sites.

It is the goverment , They are monitoring all You East valley guys..............BOB!

[PRDATR]

Yeah, it's existing sites that I'm seeing activity at.

[GreyGhost85]

Relax. It's just cell site upgrades. I am involved with many of them. Cell companies get busy in the 4th quarter, trying to meet their construction milestones

[ctafoya]

Nope, they are out to get us.

Big bother is watching......and listening.

Cell towers make excellent tree stands. But too many people have made it crowded now.

The Government IS working on towers right now. Maricopa County is putting in a new system, and we are doing a lot of the builds/installs.

I'm seeing a lot of requests to amend leases to allow for the installation of backup generators on older towers come across my desk. Supposedly a new FCC requirement.

You're also going to see a lot of new small cell "mini" towers going up in high traffic areas. These are smaller facilities built to go on street light poles and traffic signals where higher bandwidth is needed in localized spots. Verizon wants to put up close to 70 in my jurisdiction alone.

[PRDATR]

That's good to hear since I am a Verizon user.
