EE 5G (SA) & 5G (NSA) Cell Towers

[tubamanandy]

We have only a few 5G (NSA - using 4G) cell towers close by in our area and no 5G stand-alone towers.

Any way of finding out if EE are due to upgrade or put in new 5G towers in a certain area ?

I'm at postcode FY5 in UK

Thanks

@tubamanandy  EE list sites on HERE while it’s still a new thing being rolled out but it’ll get to a point where this isn’t updated as it becomes the norm and then EE do not push out information on tower mast upgrades.

The term "5G mast" or "5G tower" isn't really accurate. All of EE's radio sites are multi-technology, carrying a combination of 2G, 4G & 5G services across multiple frequency bands. 4G is generally regarded as the base layer, with 2G and/or 5G techs added depending on local config.

Technology & carrier adds are an ongoing process - this can mean adding additional bands/capacity on existing techs (4G) or adding new technologies (5G) entirely.

The best place for info on new site builds is your local authority planning department/website.
