Tools for this tag

The tag =yes is added to a feature (e.g. man_made=mast) to specify that it is used for carrying antennas and equipment for mobile phone communication (mobile mast/tower).

Tagging

Dedicated communication mast:

Antennas on a supporting structure mapped as a node, such as a power pylon: add tags to that structure.

Other antennas, such as on a pole atop a roof: create a new node. (If there's a significant mast on the roof, use man_made=mast with location=roof instead.)

Technologies (LTE, 5G, ...)

If the information is available, the communication technology (LTE, UMTS, ...) might be of interest. There are currently two different tagging schemes in use:

  • communication:lte=yes, communication:umts=yes, communication:5g=yes, communication:gsm=yes
  • =lte, =gsm;umts;lte

The first one is newer, however has significantly more usage, while the second one is a bit older.
