Excellent, backhaul was ready

Netmonster was reported EE 4G LTE 1800 / 5G NSA 3600
EARFCN 1617

EE standard L03 (1800 MHz) base layer.

BW n48

EE's N48 layer (3600 MHz) for NR.


NSA (Non StandAlone) means the phone will sit on 4G (showing a 5G logo!) and when you use data, will make use of the 5G speeds, and then go back to 4G. This saves battery; and means all the complex signalling still runs over 4G.

Was ever wondering if future 5G become Stand Alone (5G SA) will it applied on the same mast or take it down and replaced 5G SA?

Same mast and equipment, its a software change that can be done remotely.

That's good. Seem EE 5G was very quick to build new PoW mast and active after 3 days. Quicker than Three (take ages months, months or even a year wait) as I know Three not active on this mast yet. EE need to updated map coverage thought and also cellmapper too!

I managed to put EE 1p mobile on Three Hub by the windows in my pc room and getting good speed 634/110 from EE 5G mast from Hermitage Way with excellent signals -79 to -82

All the several Three monopoles I encounter in the Greater Manchester area I live in went live with 5G within a few days of the completion of their installation.

Can these masts share 5G or are the small 5G antennae single operator only? This mast looks to have space for another set of 5G antennae whereas the new monopoles in my area only appear to have spaces for the single set. I assume they can share 4G OK.

I was wondering by this as well. No ideas!
