Network Vision/LTE - Orange County Market (Anaheim/Santa Ana/Irvine/Huntington Beach)

[muradical07]

Oh and anyone planning on possibly giving Blackberry another chance? The Q10 actually seems pretty sweet!

[S4GRU]

Does S4GRU know what Sprint marketing might plan to announce in the future? I assume it's obvious since one can predict this by observing all the work that is done. But can we make an assumption even before heavy deployment starts?

 

Also' date=' is it possible that some sites might go-live/commence work, without being reported to S4GRU ?

 

Thanks!

I'm not sure what you're asking in your first question.

 

However, I can answer the second. We do not get notifications of when sites commence work. Our members provide that information from field observations. And occasionally, we will get some regional information from sources. But our In Progress sites listed on our maps are far from comprehensive. There are far more In Progress.

 

As for completed sites, we do get consistent information on those. We get lists directly from Sprint corporate sources every week of all the sites passed inspection and accepted from OEM's the previous week. We plot these on our NV Sites Complete maps weekly in our Sponsor section.

Hey guys! When is Sprint going to be updating their tower improvement map with the LTE info? They only have the "voice upgrade / data speed improvements" with in the last 6 months and I also find that hard to believe cause I have noticed nothing in the last 6 months.

Black Berry has many chances with me and just got worst so no more chances with me thats for sure but best of luck to them tho...

As far as we know, they will not be adding that information, specifically LTE to the maps. We have noticed that every tower that has received LTE is shown as having a speed upgraded, but not every tower that has a speed upgrade has LTE. Go figure that one out lol.

I noticed some said 1 speed upgrade and 2 speed upgraded so it got me thinking that maybe and just maybe its the ones with 2 speed upgrades. I'm not a sponsor so I don't get to see your maps. Do you know how many signed off towers there are in the OC?

Currently there are only 2 towers with LTE signed off. I don't know that there is enough to find a pattern at this point.

Where are these two towers? Do they have LTE broadcasting now?

None of the Orange County sites signed off yet have been seen broadcasting LTE yet. Now that San Diego sites are starting to go live, I fully expect the Orange Co sites will start to go live too soon.

I hope the IE will start poppin next. The info in this website is great. More info than Sprint employees get from the source.

Wow! San Diego is coming online! Everyone has to Sensorly the crap out of both San Diego and Orange County! How far ahead is San Diego? I thought OC was started first?

[bookertdub]

As someone who's lives in San Diego, I'm pleasantly surprised by this. I've mapped out that one lone blot by by Carmel Mountain Road and I-15

Likewise, I would love to see some 4G LTE, especially in and around Angel Stadium and Honda Center.

I would love to have LTE at Angels games. I can tether my tablet to my phone for Netflix for my kids when they are bored.

I would want it so I can see replays that the stadium video board doesn't show courtesy of Slingbox. Either that or tell Arte Moreno to send some money on some WiFi installation like they do at PETCO Park in San Diego.

When I had the Epic 4G Touch, the phone would pick up a solid Wimax signal....around 5mb down, 1mb up. Not so much with 3g when I got the SGS 3, but at least I got decent signal. Dodger Stadium, OTOH, was a black hole.

 

I read in one of the local fishwraps that as part of their stadium renovations the Doyers are installing numerous cell phone boosters around Chavez Latrine.

How long after San Diego did Orange County start it's upgrading?

We don't know when each started exactly. However, we know that Orange County started to have accepted sites about three weeks before San Diego.

So it's possible we could start seeing LTE popping up in Orange County anytime, right?

Yes, it should be soon. There are already 4G accepted sites Orange County. The delay is probably core related. Once everything is ready, those accepted sites will probably go live first. And then we will likely see a steady progression of LTE sites go live every week. Inland Empire should start going live soon too.

For what it's worth, San Diego got eHRPD right around mid October and in the past 10 days or so, LTE started to popup.

How do we find the location of the accepted sites? Are they in the sponsors section?
