Howdy from SE Wisconsin!

I just discovered this site yesterday and already I've learned a lot more than I ever thought I would about Network Vision!!

 

I worked for Nextel for 7 years doing IT for all of their Wisconsin locations (until Sprint came along)  :td:

 

But not one to hold a grudge, I still have a Sprint phone and I got a really nice early retirement package in any event.  I knew iDEN backwards and forewards but now I'm learning about CDMA and, of course, Network VIsion.  It sure is a different animal!!

 

Even though I still have a lowly LG Optimus S, when it's time for an upgrade early next year I'll probably spring for a 4GLTE phone since by then the network in my area will actually support it.

I hope you enjoy your time at S4GRU, it truly is a great place.  :welcome:

Hee hee!  Thanks for all the comments especially the one about the screen name.  I use it on most blogs since Thomas really IS my name and my last name begins with M!!  I hope to have a good time here learning things about NV and maybe even contributing a few things too...

 

Now I have to come up with an appropriate avatar.

    • 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.
    • At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
    • Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
