Can folks confirm this is Verizon (utility pole) and T-Mobile (building)? This is located at https://maps.app.goo.gl/9Q5ahxojr7wpJz6RA
Thanks very much!

In that case it probably is Verizon.
A tall and skinny antenna in the center with 2 or 3 shorter (and still somewhat narrow) antennas around it was a pretty common T-Mobile setup for a few years.
T-Mobile started deploying that setup when they obtained their band 12 licenses (which for several years were T-Mobile’s main long range licenses).
Once T-Mobile bought their band 71 licenses (which are now T-Mobile’s main long range licenses) they stopped deploying that setup and instead used a big antenna that not only supported their new band 71 licenses, but also was able to squeeze theoretically double the capacity out of each of T-Mobile’s long range licenses and on more recent equipment (~2019+) could even integrate some medium range license support into the same antenna panel (meaning less pieces of equipment are needed now).
Welcome to this community!
I am hopeful that this community gains some popularity. Currently the main Cellmapper communities are on Reddit (which I wouldn’t be here if I was still happy with them) and Telegram (which IMO is not a good format for these kinds of content), which is why I created this Lemmy community.
Well thanks for starting this! Yeah, so I looked up the T-Mobile tower on CellMapper and sure enough, it’s a b2/66/12 setup. Looks like it all checks out here!
