As I am a 5G SA SIM only customer I received a call last week from an Elisa sales rep who offered to sell a Huawei external antenna for 5G based on the fact that that a 5G access point was now active at Tammihaantie 4, 02940 Espoo as detailed on cellmapper.net gNB ID 4501 (Macro) - NR

As I live in the area I visited that location to confirm that the cell tower is present there but there is no cell tower there. I am assuming the actual tower being referenced is at Kolkekannaksentie, 02940 Espoo Finland at these approx coordinates 60.2352441293899, 24.720706991293028 image below. 
 

I tried to create a support ticket for cellmapper but their support option does not seem to be active so I instead registered a user account and added some of the above info to that cell tower information. 

Oliko tästä hyötyä?

Looks like cellmapper is not really working right now.

Never mind, case closed. I’ve been getting support from Teltonikka in Lithuania (my brand of router) and an engineer there has the proper rights on cellmapper to change the cell tower location and so had done that now. The actual approximate address is now:
Heiniemenpolku 7, 02940 Espoo, Finland.

Are you sure that there is any Elisa equipment at Heiniemenpolku?

In the 1990’s the mast in the photograph was used by Tele, now called Telia. As there is just a single set of antennas, that site serves only a single operator.

@irritus you may very well be correct that Heiniemenpolku 5/7 is a Telia site. I do know that there is no cell tower on Tammihaantie, 02940 Espoo and I can see the tower ID my Teltonikka router is connected to as 4501 and which is not where Cellmapper, and the Elisa sales rep, told me it was. So I assumed it was the other cell another 300 meters away. 

So if the overall info is still incorrect, where then is Elisa 5G N78 “Cell Identifier: 73747886”?

LTE and NR sites are 99% of time at same locations. Elisa’s LTE site is near Auroran koulu. That mast is quite tall, and I can see that kind of radios used by Elisa on that mast. There seems to be both Telia and DNA also located on the same mast. LTE is much better mapped than NR, just because LTE is older thing.  I did restore calculated position, so we can see how Cellmapper algorithm positions it on the map. Cellmapper is based on signal strength measurements done by UEs, and it’s not 100% accurate.
