Vodafone's 900MHz spectrum after refarm: some of the spectrum previously used for 2G in the third 'block' became 4G of EARFCN 3698.

A couple of masts

A couple of masts with the Vodafone 900MHz 4G in/near Leytonstone. There are a lot of possible build layouts that could have been used. These are just a suggestion. The LTE 900MHz means that Vodafone have their own hosted low band on the site.
