ShadowDrake Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Just got a friend in Big Rapids stating that hes picking up LTE. Saw this on Sensorly trying to track down local areas which show up. Congrats to the people up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRUCEinGR Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Hi Bruce nice to see ya hope to see you in Dayton this year That's my plan, to head down there with the usual gang. Hope to see you there, and maybe even some Sprint LTE on that tower near Hara Arena! Saw a post in another thread where a member posted some Dayton area site permits, but that one wasn't there yet.

jefbal99 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 So I have only one good picture of the Eaton Rapids tower as there is no good way to get close enough, even with an 300mm zoom lens (however, the camera is only 6MP). The odd thing is the NV panel was shorter than the legacy PCS panel next to it. There was only a single RRU, which is expected because the Lansing area falls into the 800Mhz border exclusion zone. Is Samsung using a smaller panel that doesn't support SMR in areas that can't get 800Mhz right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible it's a similar type of panel that we have seen used in Ericsson markets, narrow beamwidth panel. Either for very urban areas, or rural areas with wide cell spacing trying to focus the signal down highways. I wouldn't imagine that they would not put up 800 capable panels only to have to replace them later once they make an agreement with Canada. Does it look anything like the panel circled in red?

I didn't really see them from that angle, but they very well could be the same antennas. I'll get my picture uploaded soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theot Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I have "4G" lit up next to the signal bars at M6 and Kalamazoo ave in GR. Speed was only about 3 mbps but im still very excited! Was only 3G this morning. For the past week 3G speed downtown has been usable again too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
