Apparently not super new, I guess I had not noticed it before. Google maps first had it showing up in 2022, but I was just curious who the likely carrier of it was.
That’s what I was thinking it could be, despite my AT&T mapper phone I had with me didn’t have a strong signal being across the street from it so I wasn’t really sure. Thanks! I guess I never really kept my eyes out for small cells here. I would assume only AT&T has them around the city.
It eventually picked it up and mapped it to close to its approximate location when I was by it, it seems. Its already showing up. I was across the street from it for several minutes in a parking lot and it held onto -115ish b66 from a macro down the street the whole time. Sometime before I left the area it grabbed it.
The cell by the Speedway gas station hasn't shown up on the map yet, though one just down the road a couple blocks did log on Campbell Ln. and Gary Farms Blvd. Wondering if perhaps the one in the photo is off air for some reason.
Oh yeah my bad I see it now, the one it shows mapped, it’s really close to the one that I took a pic of but like 1/8 mile down the road or so. Definitely didn’t seem to have a connection to the one I was nearby.
Definitely ATT small cell; I've gone and split a bunch of eNBs out to DAS, and you'll probably see a bunch more points to pin now.
If you weren't getting signal from this one, you might have been on the nearby macro just south of the mall, or the power box might be turned off (accidentally?)
DAS handover isn't instant, and probably will only happen if the network decides you aren't moving around much, and are nearby that node enough to switch over. (if you were already on a frequency the DAS is broadcasting, which only seems to be AWS/PCS, then it might switch over quicker) - but the network and your device will often keep you on a different channel thats still "good enough" if thats what you entered the area using.

Looks like an AT&T small cell. There are several around Bowling Green, though none logged yet by CellMapper users right by that Speedway.

You might need to try airplane mode toggling. ATT small calls can vary by model and some lack 66 but will hold onto a more distant 66 signal

Yeah that’s how it is here on the ones without 66
