The tag communication:mobile_phone=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:
man_made=mast
(mandatory)tower:type=communication
(mandatory)communication:mobile_phone=yes
Antennas on a supporting structure mapped as a node, such as a power pylon: add tags to that structure.
- Existing tags, e.g.
power=tower
,man_made=chimney
communication:mobile_phone=yes
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.)
man_made=antenna
(mandatory)communication:mobile_phone=yes

Technologies (LTE, 5G, ...)
If the information is available, the communication technology (LTE, UMTS, ...) might be of interest.
The common scheme is to add an additional communication:<technology>=yes
as shown in the table below.
All these tags are "in use" but have never been formally defined. Clearly, the use of upper and lower case letters
has not been fixed and several different capitalization are in use. Also, while the generation numbers like "4G"
technically refer to a full family of protocols it seems evident that they are used mainly as synonyms for the technology names listed with them.
For consistency it might be advisable to use lower case letters for technology names and a capital "G" for generations.
<technology>
