jason22 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 There is tower to the West of Owens on lime city road, that's prob why it was hit and miss..if I rember right when I went to Owens I was connectioning to that tower. There is also anotherone over on andrus road between Tracy and Broadway. with towers like that the cell spacing is going to be shorter so your not going to have it has far as some would think, but once the rest of them are done than it should be better. Just an fyi for you and anyone else. I was thinking I was somehow hitting the tower that is close to the truck stops off of 280,but obviously I jumped the gun on that one. My wife works off of 795 and it would be nice for her to be able to go out during her break and get some decent speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logonalias Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) There is a tower on Lemoyne Rd. near I-280 that has officially been launched with 4G LTE. Also add Fostoria, Tiffin,and some place named Latty, OH to the list of places with LTE, officially.

Haupricht Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I work over by there I could check it out tomorrow, what exactly do you need a picture of? I take it toward the middle to top of the tower where all the equipment should be? Sorry I am new to the forum, but have sort of been keeping an eye on this topic.

jayg2010 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hey peeps, Just talked to a nice lady *611 (sprint) she told me that theyve been working on towers in my area (lima Ohio) since november of last year and it takes 2 months add an extra 30 days for 4g lte to be completed she gave me a date and Lima Ohio will see 4g lte of the end of the month..

Bobby Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Was heading out to work and there was a crew working on the tower. Looks like they was adding new cables to the tower they had someone at the top pulling it up the tower! Seems like there has been people in and out of the inside of the fence all week. I figured they wanted to get a start on getting it ready. Not sure if backhaul is already in place and set. But still keeping an eye out! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Saw this today on my way to work! They must have added yesterday! Guessing they can get backhaul to the tower yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing they can get backhaul to the tower yet?It could be a temp til they do or it may be a micro site officially. I know In Whitehouse it has microwave for backhaul on there water tower 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 However they keep it I'm glad to see more progress to the tower around the area! They finally got rid of the old base stations yesterday. And they had some more people working today in the tower top and bottom. It looked like they had a guy up by the microwave dish. With them using microwave will it have the same kind of speeds you see with towers that have fiber to them? I thought this question was brought up some where else but I haven't found it.

I thought this question was brought up some where else but I haven't found it.Ive heard that micro is not as good as good old fiber, not sure exactly why but I assume is somthing to do with interface maybe or somthing. I told Ryan I would myself like to have fiber, but if micro is the quicker faster way to get us LTE than let them. Being out in the BFE like I used to I don't think you'll really tell much diffrence tho having less people on the towers and such. I wish I knew a little more about this cus we have these little microwaves on our towers and they are new and Idk if they need to have one for receiving and out or just one. Keep an eye out like you have tho it's appreciated. Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk Edited February 19, 2014 by keelerman8042 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One site could be supplying two others a data connection. Also it could be for a public service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One site could be supplying two others a data connection. Also it could be for a public service.They seem to point toward another tower example like the tower on Sylvania ave in Sylvania it points to a tower on Bancroft just a few miles south than that one points toward that. Kinda like a daisy chain. I'm just trying to see if it's backhaul or not..if theres two I'd think they would do it all in one trip. Our luck the last thing you said is more of the likely hood. Didn't think of this maybe with some of them being micro and fiber maybe it has somthing to do with that...just me thinking to much ha Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Benore and metzinger rd.
