Hi all!
Long time unregistered lurker. first time poster.
Inspired by @Jeffrey’s Mast van de maand post about the WAS-pole / telecommunication antenna combination and casually mentioning there are 4-5 of this sites around & running accidentally to @The_Wireless_Guy’s post about a few others. I tried to see what I could find.
It looks like Oxperts Antenna Sites. B.V has been redeveloping a few originally for Tele2 and now for KPN. They mention “Since 2012 Oxperts Antenna Sites has redeveloped 11 WAS-towers for mobile operators and 35 WAS-towers for an IoT-provider.”
I was able to find a few sites they had contacted the local authorities about redeveloping the WAS-poles. But no antennas seem to be installed or at least I far I could tell. Not in antennakart , neither on cellmapper, nor on street view. But also like half of those street views are from 2010.

And now there is a permit for the construction of a "combi-mast met verlichting, sirenes en een antenne-installatie voor mobiele telecommunicatie” in The Hague.

I was wondering if you guys know any other sites ? And if there is any diversity in the antenna installations or if basically due to the monopole they all operate more or less the same ?
The Hague site is close to me so I will try to keep an eye for the construction! Get some picture if anyone is interested!
