Mobile phone mast, Grangetown, Cardiff
Viewed from Grangetown railway station. The 12.7 metre high mast, owned by Orange,
has two transmitters, one transmitting at a frequency range of 1800 megahertz and the other at 2100 megahertz. Technically, these are macrocells. A macrocell provides the main coverage in a mobile network. The antennas for macrocells are mounted on ground-based masts, rooftops and other existing structures. They must be positioned at a height that is not obstructed by surrounding buildings and terrain. Macrocell base stations have a typical power output of tens of watts.
