@jfagone “telecommunications satellites enable our cellular signals and support our mobile internet today.” Existing cellular connectivity is provided by terrestrial base stations. The underlying cxn is almost never space-based (microwave, fiber, undersea cable etc)
@erictheise@openstreetmap Obelisk’s are another common choice. I’ve seen a few (like Jackson, MS) constructed with the sole intent of being a stealth site. Personally, I think I’d rather have a monopole site.
@erictheise@openstreetmap This category includes more than trees too. Flag poles (which are typically unusually thick) for example. Church steeples make great stealth sites. Most people don’t know that they often contain cell sites.
