[speedyf]

Hi

On the website www.americantower.com one can see all tower locations from Cell C
But they have wireless towers with all kind of tech info and they have Roof Top towers
with all kind of info.

I am on 3G with a poynting antenna where must I aim my antenna ?

Thnks

Not all Cell C towers are listed here. Since selling towers Cell C started to build a new ones.

Re aiming antenna. Find the strongest signal on the same Cell_ID. MDMA gives you all details. Then test all towers for stability and throughput, it is not always with the strongest signal.

I don't think it includes co-located base stations either, i.e. a Vodacom tower that has Cell-C equipment on it.

MDMA, like: http://192.168.1.1
Cos the one her is a .exe file and I am on Mac.

I will of course point my antenna in the different directions, but was wondering if any use to try the rooftop
as this one is maybe 300 meters from my new place and the wireless tower lets say 1000 meters.
And both roof tops gave a very weak signal testing download speed with my iPhone

Try mAcme then.
