I worked from 2006-2010 designing cell phone towers and site locations. Most people aren’t aware but the majority of your churches have high powered antennas in their steeple. We change the material on their steeple to be RF friendly and install 3 - 6 antennas. Most are large enough to accommodate two carriers with 3 antennas each. The operating equipment is generally located in the basement within a closed room or a chain link fence. In a few Texas mega churches we installed them inside of a giant cross they were building and had the cross built out of RF material. The churches get a monthly payment for giving them a lease.

We also put these antennas on buildings all over the city and paint them to match the brick patterns or parapet walls. In the cities you don’t see towers because we just install them on the sides of buildings or on their rooftop on tripods just far enough back that you can’t see them behind the rooftop facades. For the ones without parapet walls we build fake brick chimneys out of RF friendly material as a facade to hide them in.

If you think you are safe because you don’t see a tower.... think again
