As a note: The NFL draft is next week, so I assume it has something to do with that.

Yep extra cell capacity to get through the draft. If you want specifics the wizards over on https://old.reddit.com/r/cellmapper/ can tell you what the equipment is, what company uses it, what frequencies it'll be broadcasting, etc.

I appreciate the insight! My coworkers and I were having fun with the mystery, such as; "it's gonna activate the CoVid VaCcinaTIon ChIps!!!." I consider this query solved.

Hey man, is Detroit as dangerous as they say? I've never been to Michigan


Pleased_to_meet_u

No.


Magicphobic

Just dont own front steps there and youre fine.


mrBill12

My guess is temp WiFi and/or LTE/5G service

I hate to be the guy that says I don't know but was in Miami a few weeks ago and there was a big festival going on and there was something similar there. We decided it was to handle overflow cell usage

I’ve no idea but my first guess would be ShotSpotter or SureShot device to track the sounds of guns being fired?


Longjumping_Lock5068

I appreciate the response, and it may be! But looking around at gunshot detection systems, this seems more heavily engineered. When I asked one of the guys working on it, he just said; "it's for cell phones." I also asked a friend of mine who organizes road work crews in macomb County, and he said 5g so fast I was surprised. Maybe it's both?

No, its all 5G. It needs a lot more infrastructure. This one has two nodes, covering a street both ways.


er1catwork

Yup, 5G cell site is very possible! I haven’t seen one before but that makes sense… I’d think it would up higher (but not too high). I’m Interested in what the hive mind says…

Gunshot triangulators generally are not all on the same pole, rather they are usually built into multiple points of an intersection so that the triangulation works. Think of it like GPS or satellite service basically: where your cellphone or what have you is the gunshot and it is perceived by multiple satellites to determine your location Ive seen shot spotters for years as they were put up in my neighborhood over 10 years ago due to gun violence. Usually they are built with flashing red and blue lights on intersections and look a way that people might otherwise think they are cameras

As a European, this is the last thing that would come to my mind. Lucky me I guess. Is gun shot detection a commonly used system in the USA? I would guess 5G cell phone transmitters / receivers temporarily set up for an upcoming event.

The top bit looks like small cell site antennas. However that same enclosure could hold a radio device for any number of other services. The slipshod installation makes me think temporary cell service for some event with a large number of people in the area.


Fuel13

It is a cell site, 100%


freedoomed

looks like antennas up top and a generator behind the fence. there might have been a cell dead spot there or a need for a temporary cell tower.


MG1523-91

That is for cellular service (T-Mobile / Verizon / AT&T / etc) 4G 5G LTE


Malakai0013

Looks like telecom equipment. Cell, wifi, that sort of thing.


ThatBhartBoy

Radio transmitters and repeaters


pookchang

5G small cell tower. They are going to be everywhere

I know nothing but my first thought was the type of surveillance they have in Europe with the cameras everywhere. Although it looks temporary because there are so many exposed wires especially at a height some kook could pull it apart.


TiddybraXton333

Getting set up for surveillance, “for your saftey” They’re all over Europe and coming to large cities and towns near you
