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

Circle stuff timothy wilco! lol awesome stuff though!!

So was this tower a clearwire tower at first? or Sprint 4G or was it just a non-updated tower?

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). They do have a reserve level. Nationwide 800Mhz is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  T-Mobile did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, FWA Mobile in RVs in Walmart parking lots working where mobile phones need all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71, 90% 5g.  93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77 also with its shorter range.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline June 1 for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio covering 27500-28350Mhz expiring 6/8/2028. No reported sightings.  Buildout notice issue sent by FCC in March 5, 2024 https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/letterPdf/LetterPdfController?licId=4019733&letterVersionId=178&autoLetterId=13060705&letterCode=CR&radioServiceCode=UU&op=LetterPdf&licSide=Y&archive=null&letterTo=L  No soecific permits seen in a quick check of Columbus. They also have an additional 200Mhz covering at 24350-25450 Mhz and 24950-25050Mhz with no buildout date expiring 12/11/2029.
    • T-Mobile Delivers Industry-Leading Customer, Service Revenue and Profitability Growth in Q1 2024, and Raises 2024 Guidance https://www.t-mobile.com/news/business/t-mobile-q1-2024-earnings — — — — — I find it funny that when they talk about their spectrum layers they're saying n71, n25, and n41. They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.
