Dkoellerwx Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I hope sprint is also getting these towers ready for b26.... would make sense Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Not really... there's no clear indication when SMR will be cleared for use in your area. Putting up the equipment and letting it sit idle for potentially a year or two (or more) would not be good. All that is needed is a single additional RRU to be added. Depending on the permit process for such a minor change, they could likely get all sites prepped in a month or less when the spectrum is finally cleared.

TheCUJuan Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 So is the improvement in sprint speeds in abq noticeable? I never really got any download speeds over 10-15 Mbps in abq when I had them (until February) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroepcke51 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 So is the improvement in sprint speeds in abq noticeable? I never really got any download speeds over 10-15 Mbps in abq when I had them (until February) Downtown has made band 25 and 26 useable again during working hours. This weeekend I was at CPK in uptown and I pulled 100mbs speed test. I am sure that extra capacity is helping that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the typical equipment that Sprint uses, but it may be in the box next to it or underground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S4GRU Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 Those are the Sprint B25 Small Cells in El Paso. They are shown on our Sponsor maps. There are three clusters of them. One around EPCC on the North Side past Fort Bliss, one out on the Far East Side and another on the west side off North Mesa. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/517-nv-sites-complete-maps/ Robert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dkoellerwx Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 sort of like a rip and replace Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yeah... but that's not really likely at this point. They were put there to help the B25 footprint. Taking them out could create problems, even if they were replaced with B41. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Possibly. Depends on the coverage of each. Small cells generally cover a couple of blocks at most, sometimes less.
