Note the Antennas are much thicker and fatter than the antennas being utilized by Sprint Network Vision.

For thoses that can't read this this is what it says

 

This is a film, from the first under a tree at the labor of scarce. Greeted him a force of evil. You hardly subsidized equally common, especially loans that force. Throw but who work in the definitions. They discussed the dangers of Euripides, is an all primaries. Option value is not no education first.

 

Epicureans first beauty of football, do not you want to learn all eternity. Concludaturque labor sentence to it, is when he realized that he had not wanted. But even if it is not ready to make. With the desire nor the representatives, the value of Epicurus my fall. Him, but the truth of the Greek applied. Holy aware of violence. And that when the real estate you want, wear my creativity in the timeless tales.

 

Add one or not, but Clitus State Archive. In them for some needs. Praise for our working class. For all that soft. And the right to be free gift, but is afraid of what tough.

Maybe because I need filler texts and I'm a ....gasp.... programmer?

  

 

There's nothing wrong with hitting up Lipsum.com for filler text. With this crowd, you may wanna try baconipsum.com :)

 

Maybe in a few days. I've got a few ideas but I'm fairly busy for the next couple of days and still require additional photos.

Let me know what you need. It's a site literally down the street from my house -- I'd be happy to take more photos, get video (for closer zooms/stills), etc.

You're so lucky lol. I'm jealous you have TD-lTE being setup in your area.

Stuff I would like:

1) Photos of base station cabinets

2) Multi-angle close ups of RRUs & the rf splitter device (?) that is connected to two of the 4 RF ports.

3) Different views of each antenna & RRU

4) overview of all three RRU & Antennas

5) Overview of antenna & nearby racks

6) Sprint NV rack

7) Anything else you deem worthy of taking images of

It's less than a half mile from my house, too. Can't wait.

The base station cabinets may be a bit problematic - this is a tower that also contains AT&T and VZW, and there is an enclosed structure that houses a lot of stuff. I'll do my best to grab as much as I can, but I can't make any guarantees. That said, hopefully the Clearwire base station cabinets are easy to spot and are out in the open. I did see some shiny metal cabinetry, which matches the other Clearwire flagpole site's base station cabinet, so we may be in luck.

 

I'll try to grab the other images once it clears up and we have better lighting.

I updated the Flickr photoset with a lot more photos, including the base stations. We were lucky - they were out in the open.  :D

    • 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.
