Seems to be a serverside update to fix the eNBs and cell IDs. They divided the eNBs by 4 and didn't autopin the fixed eNBs to the old ones' locations. You'll have to re-locate them. It's all UK networks except Three that got updatedI've noticed on Cellmapper that, with a couple of exceptions, all of the O2 5g towers that were previously green have reverted to red. They remain red even if I re-connect to them with cellmapper running. Anyone know why ?
Hopefully I am not taking this topic off at a tangent, however quick question if i may. When I use the CellMapper website I see hardly any 5G cell sites (even zooming out to the whole country shows very little). Yet, when selecting 4G there's thousands. Is this because 5G cell sites have not been mapped as yet, or could I be making a school boy error?
Ah! All makes sense now. I doubt there will be any standalone where I live, so understandable why no cells. Just checked and it looks like Manchester is the closest (about 60 miles away).View attachment 19372
Hi gary333,
Cellmapper will only show 5G when you select 5G in the filter.
5G Non Standalone still uses the 4G signal that's why Cellmapper won't show any 5G unless you select 5G, then it'll only show you the 5G Stand Alone masts.
The above grab is O2's 5G SA in Glasgow when you use the filter.
Yes 5G SA is still not widely available outwith cities.Ah! All makes sense now. I doubt there will be any standalone where I live, so understandable why no cells. Just checked and it looks like Manchester is the closest (about 60 miles away).

Have I made it as clear as mud now?![]()

That indicator rarely shows up honestly, there's multiple sites on all networks where that doesn't display. I'd cross-compare with coverage maps and see if sites have a wiki entry saying whether they broadcast 5G or have ENDC support (I'm doing that with my O2 listings lately).Click on the tower and in the tower info panel if will say '5G ENDC Available - Yes'. It doesn't show on 4g only sites but if available you'll see it inbetween 'Last Seen' and 'Type'.
+1. It's not a reliable indicator.That indicator rarely shows up honestly, there's multiple sites on all networks where that doesn't display.

Yes, see https://www.ispreview.co.uk/talk/threads/cell-mapping-applications-discussion.40980/post-388009Has Cellmapper done something with gNBs? Sites we've mapped before now have different gNBs and some sites seem to no longer be located
Thanks, I read it but clearly forgot about itYes, see https://www.ispreview.co.uk/talk/threads/cell-mapping-applications-discussion.40980/post-388009
Since that post Three has also been amended.
No further amendments should be required so sites can be relocated without worrying about work being undone.
It's because they have different region codes. I don't really keep up to date with 2G, but quite possible they moved from one base station controller to another which caused the change of region.What's going on when Cellmapper shows two of the same tower? This evening it says I was connected to the red low confidence version, not the green one…
Yeah, 2G sites in my area are either on 25xx (standard 4G TAC) or 23xx (which hasn't been used on 4G for years here afaik) for EE. Edit: apparently it was 1056x actually according to OpenCellIDIt's because they have different region codes.

There's been some Vodafone upgrade work taking place in this area and another red mast has popped up - There's nothing in this cell site location so location is wrong. Does it get fixed automatically or do users on this Forum carry out some updates?
