said by Gone:Those specific towers that are going up are probably Telus 1900MHz cell sites, and are not shared with Bell and aren't even necessarily co-located. The towers I know of are all Bell co-lo's. Picture of the Bell/Telus Sauble Beach tower above.

kudos:4 | That looks like Bell 800MHz equipment, not Telus. Telus probably just roams on it as if it were home.
If it were actual Telus equipment it would be 1900MHz and the antennas would be smaller and lower to the ground. |

Bell shows 800, 1900 and 2100 Mhz antennas on that tower. Telus also uses that tower, confirmed by a Telus technician. I had a fascinating discussion with him about why Bell had a better signal than Telus at my cottage at Sauble. That being said, I am getting 2.02 Mbps down, 0.80 Mbps up and 78 ms ping on 3G off that tower using my cellular amplifier/repeater.

kudos:4 | The lower cluster could be 1900MHz antennas, but it's real hard to tell. Those are usually installed quite a bit lower. I'm surprised Bell would have 1900MHz in a rural area, though I suppose capacity could be an issue in the summer up that way. |

That's the Bellus mobile tower. They can set that up anywhere in about 2 days. |
