Layin down sensorly

 

 

Edit* couldn't tell where its coming from lost just north of green cove its gor to be north of 209.. on a run to orlando or I would investigate more

 

The signal could be coming from the tower on 209 by the shriners building.

Looking at the sensorly map the signal will be coming from the tower that's near the race Trac gas station on the corner of us 17 and cr209. The tower its on looks like some kind of broadcasting antenna or something.

Maybe the other 2 that we know of will come online soon. I've been keeping my eyes on all the Sprint towers I see. I enjoyed my 4g experience while it lasted used almost 200mb doing speedtest

Wait, so there's 4 towers known? Are you also including the Baymeadows one?

I caught 4g in a new area. I'll update with info in a minute.

 

EDIT: I mapped more of the LTE tower on Russel Road. Also found a weak LTE signal on the Eastern side of Shands Bridge! I did not have Sensorly open yet and I lost signal after about 10 seconds! I'll try to map it if I go by there again.

I hope not, I'm in the Riverside area. Haven't seen anything yet.

 

Well seems as if the back haul is ready faster at sites outside the city or maybe they are working from the outside in to the city like they did with the Chicago market.

Nope.. no Lte at the moment at that location. I rebooted both my devices and airplane cycled just to be sure , while getting gas at the Gate gas station looking directly at the tower. I also looked into the Open signal app and it did not show me being connected to that tower it showed a tower just a mile or so north off of interstate 95 ... I'm gonna swing by later and actually check the tower and equipment out, shuold be easy enough to see the Sprint lock on it and got a pair of field glasses to check out the rest.

Note that CDMA towers give off the wrong coordinates in OpenSignalMaps. It's known that it's very difficult to discover which tower you're actually connected to.

The bogus sites mapped in OpenSignal maps have nothing to do with the coordinates squawked by the CDMA towers, which is a different issue entirely, evident in different apps altogether. OpenSignal purports to compute the tower sites itself from crowdsourced signal-strength data, and the results are pretty useless.

I learned this the hard way. I drove to the "imaginary" tower in my area only to find nothing there. LoL!

I work in the Bayard area (95 and Old St Augustine Rd near the hospital) and am eagerly awaiting LTE. Should I be worried that I am not seeing eHRPD yet?

 

Sadly, my EVO had solid Wimax when I worked in Riverside but I was faced with paying to repair it or being an early adopter of LTE and chose the Galaxy lll. Best phone I have ever owned but 3G is brutal:blink:

I get ehrpd along i95 there. Are you in lte/CDMA mode? Its possible that they turned it off temporarily.

    • 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.
    • T-Mobile Delivers Industry-Leading Customer, Service Revenue and Profitability Growth in Q1 2024, and Raises 2024 Guidance https://www.t-mobile.com/news/business/t-mobile-q1-2024-earnings — — — — — I find it funny that when they talk about their spectrum layers they're saying n71, n25, and n41. They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.
