Nextel equipment box hidden with fake boulder

Yes I was thinking the same thing. It's gonna happen.

They probably made it look like a huge, scary rock so people would go out of its way and be scared of it

Larry, I believe these are NextG DAS "RUCs". I'm working with NextG in Rolling Hills Estates to place 7 new DAS sites, and I worked with Calabasas to place 6 of the NextG DAS sites in that City. Good photo! j

Nice to see some microcells being installed in rural areas. I guess the mcirocells covers little dead spots not covered by a main site?

Good (early) afternoon, tomorrow, Kiwi! Nope, this appears to be part of a distributed antenna system. Do you have any down there yet?

For lurkers, a DAS system works something like this: The low power RF output of a cell site is upconverted to light, then sent via fiber to a DAS site, then downconverted back to RF. The process is reversed for the uplink. This is something like a repeater.

Who knew you could send RF via fiber, eh? :browani:

JLK

Larry, is this the final installation?

It looks like it's in the road right-of-way. And no bollards. Dang, this is a site acquisition, construction and maintenance nightmare!

As far as I know it is. But I'm not sure.

Obviously you did . A truck could also serious smash that setup to pieces.

I'm reminded of a Debbie Boone song title: :music:

"You light of my life"

:lmao:
