Neotel Tower example - Pretoria North

[blowdart18]

For interest sake this is the tower you guys should look out for if you want to play around:

25°40'30.89"S
28°10'23.76"E

Have Neotel erected a tower INSIDE the Telkom Pretoria North exchange yard in Ben Viljoen Street?

This thread makes lots of sense. I know precisely what you talking about.

When I spoke to tech he said that's the only tower for Pta north. Not sure if they sharing with Telkom . . . .

I'm sure, just like all GSM providers, Neotel are sharing sites.

Is it not a bit further up/down the road @ Arniston Flats. You can see the Telkom site in the bottom left corner? Doubt if Neotel will have 2 towers within such a short distance. From the Neotel coverage maps (www.neotel.co.za), the whole of Pretoria North up to Rosslynn/Bon Accord seems to be very well covered by Neotel LTE. Time to move there, perhaps

Good question, but what it the height relation with regards to Arniston Flats and the Telkom tower.

And another question is there fibre going through to Arniston Flats or they using backbone to the mountain ?

That looks like the old DECT system that is now disconnected .
Those towers were in the townships .

sorry to hijack thread. does anyone know the locations of the LTE towers in Pretoria North.. please help

Arniston Flats for sure. Next one could be in Rosslynn. From Neotel coverage maps, they seem to cover quite a large area. All other towers looks like they are south of the (Magalies) mountain range, so would not reach PTA-N.
