Batelco Towers Providing Cell Phone Coverage
Note:
This is a list of radio towers most of which were originally installed for radio and microwave transmission. They now serve the additional purpose as cell phone towers. Th list is provided for several reasons: the towers are visual reference points useful for navigation; when you have a line-of-sight to a tower it is an excellent indicator that you will have cell phone service. As Batelco has expanded cell phone service, a number of new conventional cell towers (~100' tall tapered steel poles) have been installed at intervals on some of the "long" cays, e.g. Long Island, Cat Island, Eleuthera, Great Exuma, Great Abaco. It has not yet been possible to determine Lat / Long for these new towers.
