Excellent. That's great info. Thanks Ingenium.

lilotimz: Thank you for the help! Just curious. Is this something you run into from time to time (ethernet networks essentially co-located with Cell Tower equipment)? Could I run into some issues, or does it just never happen in your experience? The client will be doing VoIP for telephony, so even marginal dropouts are a potential issue. Have you ever run STP (shielded twisted pair) to mitigate potential unwanted interference? Did it work and did it help?

This is a question about the use of ethernet cabling for brand new offices, on which external directional cell tower antennas are mounted. A client is planning to move his offices into the penthouse suite of this building, which is currently being rebuilt. The client is planning to move into the penthouse suite which is the same structure that holds external antennas for Sprint, TM and VZW on at least 3 sides. Also the equipment rooms housing the gear used by Sprint, TM and VZW are in one area, but within the same structure that the office space is being built from. Those of you who have worked in close proximity to the back side of cell site antennas that are mounted on buildings, are you aware of interference problems with regular CAT 6 UTP for computers and data? If not, does it call for STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) or do we need to use Fiber for every drop? What about using their existing WAP's (wireless access points) for WiFi for the offices. Will that work, or will it be a signal nightmare?
-
While it's good that Sprint is planning expanded coverage, where will it occur, what's the realistic completion date for the new expanded 9000 sites? Up and running means everything.

Excellent! Thx S4GRU.

Really excellent info S4GRU! Don't get me wrong, I'll absolutely take it, but do your projections take into account our proximity to the Mexican border, and cross border interference issues? I had thought that that made some band rollouts indeterminate?

"It will be a extremely slow and agonizing slog to the finish line" What's your best SWAG guess as to the term of the slog?

What, if any, Sprint network enhancements would those in the know expect to see in the San Diego market a year from now - around December, 2015. Backhauls finally in place everywhere? LTE coverage far more built out than it is now - maybe even seriously blanketing the populated county? New towers and coverage where needed? Data speeds running at max everywhere? It seems that the pace of Sprint's upgrades in San Diego have slowed tremendously over the past year, and that another year from now, we may not have any significant coverage and performance improvements over what we have now?

Seems like it's been very slow progress in PB (and La Jolla too), at least according to the maps on Sensorly. Why would PB be so difficult / low on the list for conversion vs. any other part of SD County?

Excellent Marv. I'll check it out.
-
Hey Marv. The mappings you did this morning are up on Sensorly. Looks great.
-
Great Pic's on the link Marv. Hopefully one of the gurus can tell us who uses the equipment on the telephone pole. Good to know they've finally got 4G up and running. Anxious to see the Sensorly mapping. Thankx for mapping that out. Seems like Sprint's continuing to make some progress.
-
That's excellent Marv. Thanks. Also, If you happen past it, while crusing around today I noticed some cellular equipment on a telephone pole on the east side of RSF Rd, just south of Camino Del Norte. Is that Sprint equipment too?
-
Thanks Marv! Good to know.

One of the problems with Sensorly is that you can't tell if an LTE signal isn't showing up because no one has mapped it, or because there isn't an LTE signal there. In Pacific Beach, for instance, I'll bet it's been mapped and there isn't any LTE there, but nothing shows up on Sensorly, so you're left to wonder. Hey Marv, if you can someday, would it be possible for you to take a mapping drive of some more of Encinitas? It would be great to map this route. Take Olivenhain Rd (near Home Depot), east to Rancho Santa Fe Rd, then go south, past the Old Olivenhain Meeting Hall and the Original House of Pancakes, down to Manchester. Go south / west past Mira Costa College and under the fwy to the coast and then back up to Leucadia Blvd? Or, if you've already done it, and no LTE mapped out, that would be really good to know too. Thx!
