The pluses appear to be new sites, as they are not currently part of the network according to the data we have.

Not that we can mention publicly*

They're not really lining up with other sources either...?

 

Those are the EP90XS, EP92XS, EP85XD, & EP85XCs locations.

 

Cough.. you're looking at the legacy sites info & not our new ones....

1-2 flagpole(I believe) sites up by far east Paseo Del Norte just started broadcasting LTE in the past few minutes. Thank goodness because that's been a Sprint wasteland for a long long time.

The ABQ sites were already going to be in the next NV Sites Update map, but I was not aware of the El Paso ones. :tu:

Can you find out any information for the Las Cruces, Alamogordo area? LC is far behind for being a collage town. My wife works at a medical plaza off E Loman and can't get signal inside the building at all.

Just from what he posted there are at least 6 sites going up over the next 18 months including 1 east of I-25. 1 of the south side sites seems to be a colocation with Verizon that recently got shot down by NIMBYs in the area, last I read about it anyway.

Ya, I haven't been in las cruces in awhile used to work there .. it should have b26 live now as it's not part of the Ibez market ... las cruces is also a growing market and a college town .. sprint need to invest going up us 70 as well... and add as much band 41 as they can

I will check into it for you ... all three LC alamagrdo need more towers. He told me LTE plus deployment is on going through 2019... I'm sure they will hit LC Alamogordo as well

So, I was able to confirm the pink crosses are planned sites

 

From matching up the map that I have with these planned sites.. they would surpass at&t in tower density in that area.. I'm going to try to get him to send me a full map

Quite an increase for Sprint in the 2H 2017 ABQ RootMetrics report. Still 4th place, but network reliability is nearly consistent across all 4 carriers.

Nice ! 7mbps on average after just a few b41 upgrades .. once more upgrades to b41 happen .. sprint could make a run for the number 1 spot in Albuquerque

The Samsung galaxy s8/s8+ are getting the software update for sprints calling plus. I just don't know if it depends on the network for it to work or if it just needs the software update

It only requires software update to the user. Calling plus is still in beta, but available on the whole network.

    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
    • At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
    • Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
    • Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
