? about fiber optic work for Sprint towers


Recommended Posts

I have noticed workers running fiber cable to a Sprint Cell tower. My question is do customers on tower share the back haul or does each customer have their own cable runs? The Fiber cables they are running look to be about 3 inches diameter

Sometimes they share backhaul. But it is very rare. It usually only occurs when a site owner develops a site, they may offer backhaul to the carrier. We have one such site here at the Santa Fe Opera.

3 inches is huge for fiber bundle. That sounds more like the interduct that the fiber cable is run in.

 

It usually is shared with aav service unless the bandwidth sprint asks for is more than the fiber can support. One pair of fiber should be well more than enough though. 10 Gb/s would not be unreasonable for max bandwidth on a pair of single mode fiber. 1 gig per pair is more common though.

It sounds like the ciena MultiWaveTM 1600 DWDM, 1,600 GB's. It had 16 fiber optic connections hanging or if a long black bulb like end. It's the latest in fiber optics

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
