Network Vision/LTE - Lower Central Valley Market (Fresno, Bakersfield, Visalia)

The hidden sprint menu shows band 41 but LTE discovery shows band 25.

 

What PLMNID ( 310-120 or 311-490/870) does it show and what's your approximate location?

 

If it shows PLMNID 310-120 then that's Sprint 8T8R 2.5 equipment and you might as well go get Signal Check Pro which now shows Band 41 identification for Sprint 8T8R equipment.

Band 41 will be my white rhino for now as it seems to be hiding right now. I got band 41 while waiting to pick up my son from school which is about a mile away from the tower. I am now further away at home which is about 2.5 miles away and signal strength drops a lot.

I wish i knew at the time (i know now) how to take a screen when band 41 was on the hidden menu. The speed was pretty fast and i know think when its hitting those crazy 17 mpbs it must be on that bad. As i have mentioned in the past, i hiy those speeds occasionly about once every 10 days or so.

I told you that Christmas was 2 months away about a week ago, and now look, an early present for you! You're welcome!

When can I expect for it to be done and broadcast LTE? I take it the Exeter tower off 198 will launch when farmersville tower is done?

I don't know when the Exeter tower will be done, but I wouldn't be surprised if the farmersville site is live before the end of the year, and if not, then no later than February.

Anyone ever see something like this just took snapshot before it went back to 3g any idea why it would do that

Seems like Signal Check Pro got stuck for some reason. You might want to post that in the Signal Check thread and see if Mike can diagnose that. I do see that you do have a Spark compatible phone, so it's weird it did that.

Yet its always had 3 panel don't understand why we can't have more panels like other towers have

Because they don't need anymore.

 

More is not better.

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). They do have a reserve level. Nationwide 800Mhz is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  T-Mobile did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, FWA Mobile in RVs in Walmart parking lots working where mobile phones need all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71, 90% 5g.  93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77 also with its shorter range.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline June 1 for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio covering 27500-28350Mhz expiring 6/8/2028. No reported sightings.  Buildout notice issue sent by FCC in March 5, 2024 https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/letterPdf/LetterPdfController?licId=4019733&letterVersionId=178&autoLetterId=13060705&letterCode=CR&radioServiceCode=UU&op=LetterPdf&licSide=Y&archive=null&letterTo=L  No soecific permits seen in a quick check of Columbus. They also have an additional 200Mhz covering at 24350-25450 Mhz and 24950-25050Mhz with no buildout date expiring 12/11/2029.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.
