Converting wimax to 8T8R site


Recommended Posts

Looks like a site that i know of only running clear band 41 may be getting converted. Lots of stripping and replacing panels. Is the start of clear sites being converted starting already?????

 

Could be.  Any pics?

Is it a Sprint only tower?

 

Two towers, one I park next and one I drive past I have seen work done on lately.  One tower they just installed new mounts to support additional future B41 antenna. That was a big let down when they didn't put up the new antennas.

 

The other tower turned out they were working on the rack below Sprints.  It is tight spaced tower, so the rack they were standing on they could comfortably access Sprints rack.  Was hard to tell what they were doing, now they are go, no changes. :/  Spent three days there too.  I don't see new equipment so maybe something was broken.

Just realized the plmn id is still Clear......not the normal 310 120 for sprint spark Carrier aggregation

 

As I said they're working on ALU stuff.

 

The Clear B41 radios is Samsung so they've decomissioned WiMax in your area early for a 2nd B41 carrier which is done by software remotely.

I wonder if any of this is going on in Minnesota. The cell site at my work has been clearwire. Now the last few days I havent been able to get any Sprint Spark from that site. Even outside.

    • I posted this in the Nebraska Premier thread last week, but just wanted to share in this thread the progress that T-Mobile has made in filling in the great coverage gap known as Nebraska. Between late last year and this year, they have added 28 new expansion sites filling in the coverage hole, plus 11 Sprint site conversions in eastern Nebraska and far western Iowa. Notably, in the last month n41 coverage was added on over a dozen expansion sites in western Nebraska that were added to the network last year. For comparison, here is the very first map that I created in October of 2022 after we noted expansion sites outside of Sprint conversion in Lincoln and Omaha. It doesn't show any western parts of the state, but just know there was nothing besides roaming coverage and a little B12 coverage leaking down from South Dakota to the west of Valentine, NE.
    • Sent a copy of my DB in an e-mail just now.  Couldn't leave the house today but can hopefully get a screenshot when I'm out on another cell site tomorrow.
    • 76MB Google Play System update after that, bringing the date up to 3/1 from prior 2/1 date. 
    • April security patch is already out - 738.30 MB download. 
    • What do you see with the latest alpha/ beta version?
