Telus, or Telus Mobility, is a Canadian CDMA/UMTS/LTE provider.

3G (UMTS)

Telus has deployed 3G UMTS (DC-HSPA+) on both the CLR (850 Mhz) and PCS (1900 MHz) band.

Cell ID Layout

This is the standard layout for 3-sector towers and most towers follow this pattern. In the case of a 2-sector tower, one cardinal direction would be omitted. For example, a tower located to the east of a North-South highway might omit the Northeast sectors.
