Most speedway's are equipped with temporary towers on the back of tractor trailer rigs during race weekend's. It's any bodies guess if they have upgraded this equipment yet.

Those rigs do not stay permanently at the tracks though. Those rigs you speak of are COWs(Cell on Wheels). They move them into events when capacity will be high and need more to handle it... The race this weekend is at Daytona so I wouldn't expect any trucks sitting and turned on at AMS unless there is another event going on there.....which I highly doubt there is one that would call for a COW...

 

Also of note I haven't seen Sprint use any COWs that are equipped with LTE at NASCAR tracks yet... Both races in Charlotte in May, and October last year had the giant 18wheeler COW as usual in the infield but neither time was said COW equipped with LTE... There may be some that are but last year for major nascar track events they did not use any... Ill know in May if that same truck has been upgraded yet as I spoke to the driver last year and chatted about his loooooong journey driving track to track...

I put together a map of cities where Sprint has already announced LTE, and the communities that Sprint has announced will have LTE soon. I have also marked the cities that have LTE available in the ar

Update!   In the two weeks since the last update, 48 new cities have newly received LTE coverage! Most notably, Phoenix, Arizona. We have also been able to add a few more communities in Ohio, as wel

The following communities have been marked with TD-LTE. I want to be clear on what this means. It means that these cities are part of Clearwire's initial TD-LTE rollout, and is expected to be complete

True; at least in the case of Atlanta, though, there are permanent LTE sites live in the area (sponsor maps would show the locations, which you could probably also get some sense of using Sensorly, no pun intended).

 

Having said that Sprint's DAS and COW deployment could use beefing up; woe betide anyone trying to use a Sprint phone for data at or around an SEC football game, for example. Hopefully that's something they can work on after NV is winding down.

I appreciate the work that was done on this map. However, if permits are being pulled in Phoenix, shouldn't it be categorized as "Coming soon"? Or, is this map entirely dependent on what Sprint officially announces?

 

Thanks

Also, this is not a thread to ask about so-and-so's city. This thread simply tracks what Sprint has announced, and what cities are seeing LTE available. Please use the correct market threads to ask for more information on your city. I will be moving market-specific questions to their appropriate threads.

I have been marking cities that have LTE available, but I will not do that very often, as I am guessing at which cities Sprint is actually going to announce. In order for a city to have a Coming Soon, or Pre-Launch pin, it has to have been announced by Sprint.

The question was based on the tracking map in this thread. I simply used an example that referenced a market.

Doesn't really matter. Unless you are talking to Mr. Hesse or one of his direct reports your not going to get accurate info from them

 

That was my point. Don't listen to anything a Sprint associate, specialist, or otherwise tells you.

 

I drive by a few towers every single day on my way to work in Phoenix. That's the best way to know for sure what's going on. :)

Is the downtown Seattle LTE available around the Space Needle and EMP?

Unfortunately there is no LTE in downtown Seattle yet. The marker you see in the map is just for a general area. Surrounding area's such as Kent and Redmond have seen some signs of LTE. I believe the best way to see where there is LTE is sensorly.

In the Sponsor section of S4GRU we have NV Sites Complete maps. They show every site in the country that Sprint has accepted complete from the OEM's. It gets updated every day or two.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      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.
