Cingular / AT&T GSM
T-Mobile
Nextel
Sprint PCS*

* Sprint is now co-located at this site too. Their BTS is located inside the Nextel shelter. Sprint was performing antenna maintainance with a cherry picker truck the week of May 14, 2007.
It turns out that the maintainance was for the NEXTEL antennas. They removed the old panels and replaced them with nice new ones (see photos above).

Top Picture - A view of the Nextel antennas mounted on the top rim of the water tower. They use 3 antennas per sector based on the diversity receiver setup they have for iDEN. Sprint PCS is also mounted here as one antenna per sector.

Bottom Picture - Cingular is on the pole and T-Mobile is on the triangular base mount structure.

The wires for all three carriers are located on the west side of the tank and are not pained to match the color - they stand out very well as black on the light blue.

The telephone pole feeling all the carriers with their fiber optic lines. You can see the fiber cable - it's the yellow one.

The BTS for T-Mobile. Pretty small footprint. There was another small unit located next to these that was probably the battery back-up.
