Indian River Shores Has Cell Service AT&T Now, Verizon Soon!
We Finally Got it DONE!
We now have excellent Cell Service here at the Victoria (if you have AT&T). Finally, after 15 years of squabbling, reality set in. The Cellular “Tree Tower” is complete, located behind the IRS Fire Station. I understand Verizon is not far behind. So far there is no sign of a generator? 
Hopefully that will come soon! With the generator and the Fiber installed to the tower we should have cell service during power outages and storms. I personally have “Comcast Backup” on my internet, so when Comcast internet goes down my internet switches to the cell tower. 15 MB down and Up! This is a major step forward for our area.
I can only imagine how many 10’s of millions of dollars were lost over the past many years due to the lost real estate sales as a result of poor cell service. One real estate company calculated it to be at least 30 to 40 million.
Looking for the tallest building in downtown Miami? Panorama has you covered 868′
February 16, 2018 Miami: I met with Mr. Tibor Hollo to discuss the development of the rooftop of his new Panorama Building. Your imagination is your only limitation as to what you can do from there. Please watch this quickly put together video I made on the Panorama roof.

Miami February 16, 2018, Seldom do I get to spend a little time with a genuine “LIVING LEGEND”. That was my honor yesterday afternoon in Miami. Meet Mr. Tibor Hollo.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibor_Hollo
Mr. Hollow just completed the tallest building in Miami, the Panorama building, 868 feet, 85 floors.
Why is Mr. Hollo a Living Legend? First, he is a survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp. Then after receiving a degree in architecture in France he immigrated to New York city with $18.00 in his pocket in 1946. Get this! By 1956 he owned the 10th largest contracting companies in the US. In 1956 he moved to Miami and begins to change the skyline forever.
Mr. Hollo has built dozens of buildings in Miami as well as having owned the Eden Roc Hotel at one time. The Panorama building is currently the tallest building in Miami but, only to be outdone by himself. His next project, a 1049 foot high building that starts next year. Did I mention he speaks 7 languages and is 91 years young. He says he just getting started. He is blessed with two sons, Wayne and Jerome that work closely with in the business. OH Yes, Tibor Hollo is on the Job every day.
Every once in a while I have a SUPER DAY! Yesterday was one on those days.
Indian River Shore New Tower February 2018
New Indianapolis, Indiana Towers
April 2016 We completed the second communications tower at the WXLW 56 Street location in Indianapolis, Indiana. We now have two Sabre Towers at this site 150 and 190 feet. Currently Verizon is constructing on the 150 foot tower. The towers are designed for multiple carriers and LPFM Radio Stations. All the necessary power, internet and fiber are in place.
New Port St Lucie, Florida Tower
April 28, 2016: We received Site Plan Approval for the new 150 foot Sacre Communications tower for WEHR-FM Port St. Lucie from the City of Port St. Lucie Florida.
11/27/15: WTS is finalizing the construction of a 150 foot Broadcasting and Communications tower for WEHR 100.7 Port St. Lucie. The tower will also provide space for WJPP Palm City and one additional FM station. The tower is also designed to accommodate 4 cellular carriers. The tower will be built on the 7th Day Adventist Church property at the Midport Seventh-day Adventist Church 1800 SE Veterans Memorial Parkway in Port St. Lucie, Florida USA. The projected completion date is December 2016. The Tower is designed by Ron Crider and manufactured by Sabre Tower to meet or exceed all building Codes for the Port St. Lucie area as well as meet or exceed all FCC and EPA regulations.
Here is a “close-up” picture of the FM antenna that will be mounted at the top of the 150 foot tower. It is very small, weighs less than 10 pounds. The antenna is made by SWR-RF, the Model is LP FM1.

Community Cell Towers
Revised 5/1/15 Ron Crider
Contradictory Premise: In 2014 there were 327,577,529 cell phones in the US. The US population in 2014 was 317,874,628 (103.1%). More than one phone for every man, woman and child. It seems that Cell phones are catching on. The majority of the population wants great Cell service, and at the same time don’t want to see towers built.
- Typical Community Proposed Settlement: Let’s hide the cell towers and disguise them as flag poles. Is that a good idea? NO! Flag poles generally can’t accommodate enough carriers and because of their slim design the transmission characteristics are compromised.
There are currently 5 major carriers.
- Verizon Wireless: 133.5 million
- AT&T Mobility: 121.8 million
- Sprint Corporation: 57.1 million
- T-Mobile US: 56.8 million
- U.S. Cellular: 4.7 million
If the mission is to disguise the cell tower by reducing it to a flagpole, thereby shrinking the number of carriers that can use the structure, resulting in the need to have more towers to cover the same area a properly designed tower would cover. Tree towers perform better than flagpoles but usually stick out like a sore thumb. Remember, in order to accommodate 6 carriers the tower structure will need to be 150 feet. How many trees are 150 feet in South Florida? Maybe dramatizing what you can’t disguise is a good thing. Let your community know you bit the bullet and did it right. Perhaps getting creative and building a lighthouse, a windmill, a clock tower, even a small eiffel tower. But will that concept fit your community?
Going with the big guy like Verizon or AT&T: Now that sounds like a good idea, but is it really? All the carriers will tell you they always work with their competitors. Right!. The cell business is a real dog eat dog business. Carriers will do anything to get the slightest edge on the other carriers. Gaining an advantage over the other guys is the rule, not the exception. A poor solution. To properly serve a community the structure must be built to provide capacity for multiple carriers.
Independent Tower Companies: If your community is only going to permit one tower to be built to service a given area, never consider permitting any major carrier to build the structure. That is the worst idea. Always consider an independent company. not related to the carriers. Even some of the big independents have their deals with major carriers, so you have to be careful. Small independent cell site developers are totally motivated by revenue. For them, the more carriers on the structure the better.
Tower Costs: Generally a cell Mono-Pole will cost a tower developer around $200,000 depending on the cost of land, lease or purchase and legal fees. Our company prefers to build a tower complex with a building that house 6 carriers and one generator rather than a hodge podge of prefab shelters and exposed outside equipment. A project such as this costs around $400,000. However, it is aesthetically more attractive, with landscaping, textured walls and an attractive, roof hidden behind nice walls.
The longer you wait to build the structure the more difficult it will be. If everyone works together a cell structure can be built from start to finish in less than a year. Once again there is no way to please everyone. There is always a contingency of nay sayers in any project.
Here is something to think about; Cell phone are far more reliable than regular pots (plain old telephone service) phones as there are no wires. They are more reliable than Internet phones as there are no cables to come down during storms or accidents. Most Cell tower are now interconnected by microwave or buried fiber optic cables. In Florida in particular, in a bad storm, the only way the general population will be able to hear news or communicate will be via cell phones. All this has changed in the past 5 years. Any community that is not embracing Cell service is like waiting for Henry Ford to come out with a red Model T. Today Cellular service is more important than TV or Radio, and is an absolute necessity for security, medical emergencies, and convenience.
