ATTENTION S4GRU Members!   Thanks to S4GRU Member BenChase7, we now know there are additional sites that Sprint has recently decided to add and they have been added to the network.sprint.com website

Ha! my first true contribution. Glad I could help. Thanks for the shout-out!   I'm just glad to see that Network Vision does include network expansion of this kind. I was not aware of this until to

However, there is another New Tower located in the far NW corner of the Las Vegas area... just off the I95 at Horse Dr... it is West of a large park called Floyd Lamb Park.

Maybe, but The one at Hualapai way and the 159 is easy to see.

 

Edit: Wow, even in street view it looks great!

 

Yeah, Summerlin stopped growing in that area long ago. South Summerlin, Mountain's Edge in the south and Centennial Hills in the North are the new growth areas in Vegas.

I'm just teasing Ben. :)

 

And the one off of US 95 looks to possibly be on a street lamp on Oso Blanca Rd. Too bad the map doesn't zoom in any closer. And Robert, this one isn't listed on your Vegas map in the Sponsors section.

 

This is the same site that Ben posted west of Floyd Lamb Park.

 

what I've done is find the location of the tower the best i can on Sprints maps, then go to google maps (satellite view) and try to find the tower.

 

Edit: works well for the tower at s hualapai and the 159.. you can see the tower just west of the Bank of Nevada.

 

I use mapper.acme.com. It's easy to harvest the GPS coords from that one. I can also quickly switch between Google Terrain, Google Maps and Satellite with Acme Mapper. Highly recommend.

 

I'm not having any trouble finding these sites. All are either building rooftops or existing co-located sites. Satellite imagery is a great thing. Keep 'em coming!

I looked on Google Maps for that site and not only does it not show up on Google satellite view, but Street View doesn't show even the Storage One facility by the area. Google is falling behind on their work of mapping the world. :lol:

It shows on Acme Mapper. Neat looking palm tree right next to the storage place.

Just as I figured, nothing new here in the red headed step child area. But at least the upgrades are back! Yay!

 

same here in 29569. sprint hasn't put a new tower up here in probably over 10 years or more. there's a huge gap of coverage east of 29569 and west of 29569. these places are highly populated and every other provider but t-mobile and sprint has towers every 2 to 3 miles apart in this county. t-mobile has better coverage than sprint even, but they both drop the ball big time here. i'm sure 800mhz will help out but really they need one more tower in the center of the big gap east of 29569 and 2 towers west of 29569. eh whatever they only care about the big metro cities.

Thanks Robert. I wish they were adding a new Tower in Pahrump closer to me though.

I understand your frustration. However, coverage complaints are not the purpose of this thread. I have excellent coverage in my rural area. Sprint's rural coverage is highly variable. But, it is better than Tmo in 90% of areas. You live in one of the anomaly areas, then.

 

And although AT&T does have better rural coverage than Sprint, AT&T loves to stick it to their rural customers. Sprint is putting LTE over it's entire coverage area. AT&T said they will not because it is throwing a tantrum about not being able to buy out Tmo and is sticking a big middle finger up at their rural customers who want LTE.

New Tower in the east LA area: Just NE of the I-10 and I-5 intersection, near Ascot Hills Park.

 

Hypeo already reported that one. Thanks.

You need to upload the photo to photo bucket or something similar, get the image link url and then click image button while posting a reply and then paste the link there.

Or sign up for DropBox: http://db.tt/ORwcIuSo

 

Thanks, Guys! I was hoping there would be just a simple attachment button in the reply box, or something.. and I was just missing it. Makes it easier and quicker that way, imo. Certainly eliminates a few steps anyway.

I didn't find any in my hometown. I looked around Manhattan KS, Wichita KS, and Topeka KS but did not find any. I did happen to find this one in North Liberty Missouri.

No new towers in dirty old Mississippi, but it was nice to see that they're again planning to make their rounds to the towers in the city that get so much traffic and upgrade backhaul/ capacity. That's certainly new and a welcome thing. The speeds around my area are usually pretty good after the initial round of upgrades last year, but future proofing is always welcome ;)

I give up on the screenshot... It is just a little south of the downtown area @ about Kentucky and S West St.

AJames, Dropbox is free and quick to sign up with. Plus if you use the link i posted, you will get an extra 500MB on top of the 2GB starting size.

      Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      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.
