I hope sprint is also getting these towers ready for b26.... would make sense

Not really... there's no clear indication when SMR will be cleared for use in your area. Putting up the equipment and letting it sit idle for potentially a year or two (or more) would not be good. All that is needed is a single additional RRU to be added. Depending on the permit process for such a minor change, they could likely get all sites prepped in a month or less when the spectrum is finally cleared.

So is the improvement in sprint speeds in abq noticeable? I never really got any download speeds over 10-15 Mbps in abq when I had them (until February)

Downtown has made band 25 and 26 useable again during working hours. This weeekend I was at CPK in uptown and I pulled 100mbs speed test. I am sure that extra capacity is helping that area.

Well it's a small cell of some kind. would need more information / better detailed picture on the equipment on the ground. I don't see the typical equipment that Sprint uses, but it may be in the box next to it or underground.

Those are the Sprint B25 Small Cells in El Paso.  They are shown on our Sponsor maps.  There are three clusters of them.  One around EPCC on the North Side past Fort Bliss, one out on the Far East Side and another on the west side off North Mesa.   http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/517-nv-sites-complete-maps/

sort of like a rip and replace

Yeah... but that's not really likely at this point. They were put there to help the B25 footprint. Taking them out could create problems, even if they were replaced with B41.

so, one they add band 41 on the stonewall site which is about 0.7 miles away from that site it should take a Load of the small cell and speeds should improve?

Possibly. Depends on the coverage of each. Small cells generally cover a couple of blocks at most, sometimes less.

Seems like they are going through and installing equipment on the permits that showed up last year,  This one was permit PZPC16-00171.

    • Has anyone checked Verizon n77 in areas with more than 100MHZ active? This spectrum has been fully available since August of last year.  Of course they are not typically using SA.
    • I updated my other s21 ultra factory unlocked to the latest firmware... It behaves like the S24 Ultra n38 or n41 depending on 80 or 100MHz or their nr- arfcn.
    • I see everything correct. The two ARFCN's you mentioned earlier and they idenitify as n-41.  using 4.832b SCP. Only using one TM SIM.
    • 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.
