Getting spotty coverage in the Waiahole and Kualoa area, and you happen to have T-Mobile as your wireless carrier?  Well, help may be on the way.  T-Mobile has applied for a permit to build another telecommunications antenna facility at Kualoa Ranch (Source: Honolulu Advertiser).  The tower will help to increase more coverage to T-Mobile customers in that area.

The facility will include a 105 foot tall tower with all the necessary electrical, equipment, and infrastructural support.  Best of all, it won’t be a tower sticking out of nowhere.  In fact, they are planning to build the tower to look like an artificial pine tree.  Pretty cool huh?  I’m sure you’ve seen them before, but it’s hard to notice unless you really look or catch something out of the ordinary up there in the tree.

We’ll see how the permit will play out.  So far the odds are against T-Mobile, since the district they want to build the tower has a 25 foot height limit.  Yups, that’s pretty much 4 times over the limit.  T-Mobile did apply for a waiver for this height limit, but you never know what can happen.

I know a lot of T-Mobile customers and they are kind of spotty everywhere, but it’s a pretty good wireless provider, especially since they have very reasonably priced packages.  Being that I’m using Sprint since all my friends have Sprint, and I get free mobile to mobile, I’ll still stick with Sprint.  So far no problems.  But I do feel that this tower will help their coverage and make more customers satisfied.  We’ll just have to wait I guess to see how this permit unfolds…
