Network Vision/LTE - New Orleans Market

I wonder why this tower doesn't show up on the sprint.com/network website, also it says that includes updates on the sprint 4g lte network but they dont specify on what towers they are deploying lte.

 

That website only shows towers that were updated in the last 6 months.

I think they will be more concerned with voice and evdo carriers with the super bowl though than LTE. LTE will just be icing on the cake for the dome area if they can pull it off.

How long does it usually take to upgrade a tower? And I hope they have at least a tower with LTE by December' date=' 3G here is almost unusable.[/quote']

 

It's highly variable. Sometimes they show up and they can have things complete and a LTE testing signal in 4-5 days. Sometimes it takes three weeks. It depends on how the site is staged, the physical characteristics of the site, the subcontractors involved, and other factors.

I've called off my tower spotting for at least a month. Went on a ride at lunch today to another site, and nothing stirring, nothing different. That puts them almost 2 months behind here. I planned on checking 2 sites today and another 2 tomorrow that I haven't gone to yet but there's no point as I already know the answer. Kinda sad to have only spotted some work at 2 towers in the market. And those two towers were definitely closer to the hurricane than the ones they haven't started on.... calling shenanigans! ;)

This morning I went by the tower behind the Baton Rouge Clinic near Perkins and Essen and took a picture.

What am I looking at here? Which one Sprint, or are they all?

 

I happened to go by this tower today. I took some zoomed in pictures. Very easy access to this site. You can even read he frequencies on the bottom of the ATT panels. Looks like they have some dual use PCS/AWS band and 700mhz panels with independent downtilt. They do not have the pcs/AWS side hooked up at all.

 

I will post them tomorrow when I get a chance.

Just saw a crew up on a tower at 510@I-10 . Look like they had removed one of the panels. Only seen 3 up there instead of the normal 4. Couldn't get any pics, I'm on a fire truck.

    • Has anyone checked Verizon n77 in areas with more than 100MHZ active? This spectrum has been fully available since August of last year.  Of course they are not typically using SA.
    • I updated my other s21 ultra factory unlocked to the latest firmware... It behaves like the S24 Ultra n38 or n41 depending on 80 or 100MHz or their nr- arfcn.
    • I see everything correct. The two ARFCN's you mentioned earlier and they idenitify as n-41.  using 4.832b SCP. Only using one TM SIM.
    • I posted this in the Nebraska Premier thread last week, but just wanted to share in this thread the progress that T-Mobile has made in filling in the great coverage gap known as Nebraska. Between late last year and this year, they have added 28 new expansion sites filling in the coverage hole, plus 11 Sprint site conversions in eastern Nebraska and far western Iowa. Notably, in the last month n41 coverage was added on over a dozen expansion sites in western Nebraska that were added to the network last year. For comparison, here is the very first map that I created in October of 2022 after we noted expansion sites outside of Sprint conversion in Lincoln and Omaha. It doesn't show any western parts of the state, but just know there was nothing besides roaming coverage and a little B12 coverage leaking down from South Dakota to the west of Valentine, NE.
    • Sent a copy of my DB in an e-mail just now.  Couldn't leave the house today but can hopefully get a screenshot when I'm out on another cell site tomorrow.
