  1. Updating the status of the Duluth market. There is n41 deployed out in Spirit Valley, downtown, near UMD, near the Miller Hill mall, but there are still some gaps in coverage. At some point recently it was widened to 80 MHz and I've been able to get about 750 Mbps DL. UL seems to cap out at about 50 Mbps, no matter where I am in relation to any of the sites. LTE still seems to be 10 MHz B2 centered at 851 EARFCN. B71 is 5 MHz, n71 is 20 MHz, and B66 is still 10 MHz. If you're in range of n41 the network is pretty great, but it really starts to show it's dark side when you're on sites without.
  2. @WiWavelengthAny chance you can do one of those antenna performance based on FCC filings for the iPhone 13 series? That would be amazing to see how far they've come with Qualcomm hardware and 5G!
  3. On Google Maps the address is 1628 Como Avenue Falcon Heights, MN.
  4. Duluth was widened to 60 MHz n41 and I could muster about 550 peak. Quite impressive. B2 LTE is still stuck at 10 MHz, n71 is still 20 MHz, B71 is still 5 MHz. Hoping they'll start eating into that Sprint spectrum soon. They've got A block, B block, and G block. 35 MHz of potential DL spectrum but only 10 MHz on air for LTE.
  5. AT&T has one of these permanently mounted outside of the MN state fair grounds. Seemed really impressive when I was being served off of it. Thousands of people at a music festival and I could muster 60 DL, whereas T-Mobile and Verizon outright didn't work.
  6. I think it's thought of as more of an extension of CBRS and has similar power limits, auction process, etc... single bidders are limited to 40 MHz again as well.
  7. T-Mobile has completely shut down B2 UMTS in the Duluth market but still hasn't widened PCS LTE. It's been over 2 weeks. LTE is currently at the 851 EARFCN, will be 874 once widened which is how the rural sites are. Also I can connect to 8115 EARFCN which is Sprint's A2 block on the 310-260 PLMN. n41 has been deployed at the Miller Hill Mall and the site near UMD which are both at 40 MHz. They roam on Sprint B25 in many spots of town they shouldn't be and won't roam in many spots they should be. Seems like a lot of growing pains.
  8. Duluth, MN or St. Louis County. Active on 4 sites at least, haven't been around town enough to check others.
  9. In the last few days, T-Mobile shut down PCS UMTS in the Duluth, MN region. Areas on the outskirts of town have been widened to 15 MHz using EARFCN 874 (formerly 851 when 10 MHz). This becomes their first wideband LTE channel in the area. The other thing I noticed is they’re broadcasting LTE on EARFCN 1150, which is C block C4 and C5 and belong to Nsight / Cellcom. C3 remains untouched. This block of spectrum has never been deployed in the region as Nsight does not offer native coverage here. I can’t find any evidence of a lease agreement or sale to T-Mobile. Does anyone know how / why T-Mobile is using this spectrum?
  10. Time to change the name to T5GRU and re-direct all S4GRU traffic to the site? 😄
  11. Do you have a source where we can view it for all areas? I wanna know H+I in mine. 😃
  12. Anyone have any updated info on Day 0 actions? Will Sprint customers be on T-Mobile's network through MOCN tomorrow morning?
  13. Upperlayer indicator is what both T-Mobile and AT&T are using with their 5G rollouts. It allows them to show the 5G icon even if you aren't necessarily connected. A fun infographic if you're curious. 5G icon scenarios
  14. In case anyone was curious, iOS 13.4 enabled EVS-SWB to iPhones. How far back that goes I'm not sure, but iPhone 11 series and Xs for sure. I know that EVS support in general goes back to the iPhone 8.
  15. DSS requires a 10x10 MHz channel, so it will be 5x5 NR and 5x5 UMTS until the UMTS shutdown in 2022. Who knows if they'll bother to deploy DSS at that point, with 2 5G iPhone releases happening by that point.
