Note that I said comm. Arts RAMP as in the parking ramp which has some kind of large antenna on the top level that was not there before.

Subject: RE: [MSUNAG] tower on com arts ramp?

 

Ehren,

 

There are many towers and satellite dishes on the roof of ComArts, most of which are used for the television infrastructure of MSU Telecom Systems or WKAR (Broadcasting Services).  We have a few microwave dishes that feed connections mostly to radio or television towers.

 

MSU Telecom Systems is working with many cellular providers to help enhance services on campus.  This includes adding small, non-descript antennas in targeted buildings on campus.  Some vendors have had this enhanced coverage in for a few years, while others are just beginning to build it out.  If you wish to ping our department off-line we can answer more detailed questions.

Does anyone know what exactly the tower that looks like a cell tower on the roof of the comm. Arts ramp is?  If it is a cell repeater of some sort, which service is it for and how long will it be there?
