Understand why 5G changes
iPhone can switch between 5G and LTE for coverage, capacity and battery reasons. A nearby marker is useful context, not a promise of coverage or speed.
Measure the connection you feel
Run a mobile speed test at the same location. Compare download, upload and ping when 5G is active, when LTE is active and at different times of day.
Built for mobile questions
Map, understand, measure.
Cell Tower Locator keeps tower context and real-world performance together, so you can investigate a weak or confusing connection without switching between several tools.
The closest tower is not always the serving or fastest site. Antenna direction, frequency, terrain, interference and congestion all matter.
