I have put together information on Boston area cellular telephone providers
as well as the cellular tower sites which support their wireless networks. I
also have information on how cellular wireless systems work (for anyone who
is interested).
Photos of many area cell sites can be found by provider and by town. Click
on the links to the left to navigate around the site.
I have tried to show how cellular companies are changing with the times and
trying to blend these base stations and cell sites into the neighborhoods
they serve. I also have some pictures and info on some sites that do not fit
in with the surrounding environment. My belief is that if people are more
aware of the technology around them that provides them with these services,
they will appreciate the need for these cellular tower sites. Although I am
pro-cell phone towers, I understand why people are against placing the
towers in residential areas, and hope this site provides information for
those both for and against wireless towers.
People pass by these sites everyday, on your way to work, the baseball
field, or the movies, and often times do not recognize what they are.
Hopefully my site provides some insight into the world of wireless
communications.
The companies that provide service in Massachusetts are: Verizon Wireless
(Formerly Bell Atlantic Nynex Mobile), AT&T Wireless, and T-Mobile (Formerly Omnipoint
and Voicestream). Dish Wireless seems to be no more, but will have some
photos of their antenna setups when I can.
After a year of "talking about it" I have recently updated the site to make
it easier to navigate and find the items you are looking for quickly.
This page is aging a little, but will try to update it in the near future.
You can check out my blog that I update more frequently here: CellTowerBlog
