Network Vision/LTE - Missouri Market (includes St. Louis)

Recommended Posts

B41 is now live in Bolivar! The B41 footprint expansion is happening! Keep your eyes peeled, even in places you may not expect.

Also on Highway 13, B41 is live in Collins, Lowry City, and Clinton. Those are the KS market, but more evidence of B41 expansion.

Those Collins and Lowry City towers won't be saturated any time soon! >:)

Hit 110+ Mbps on both. Granted it was 1am-ish. But yeah, probably not going to see a whole lot of traffic on those, other than the highway.

First MIMO permit application in Springfield. Based on this I would assume MIMO work is also ongoing in Kansas City and in St. Louis!

Thanks to @Rickie546 for pointing it out.

Has sprint made band 25 10x10 in more rural areas? I took a Speedtest between bowling green and eolia on hwy 61 and got 60 down 11 up on band 25. 

Thus far I have not seen a single site in the Kansas or Missouri market that has been widened to 10x10. I'm not sure why, they have the spectrum and LTE coverage is up enough that they should be able to trim 1x and EVDO if they haven't already.

Have they done this all over this market or only in certain areas?

B25 2xCA is live on every site that has a 2nd B25 carrier.

Seeing all the tweets from John Saw about all the Massive MIMO upgrades in all these cities, it has me curious if any of that is going on in this market? Is sprint  aggressively doing upgrades in our market?

M-MIMO installs have started in KC so I'd imagine they're doing them in STL as well. Before I left in October Springfield had at least one site permitted for M-MIMO.

    • Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.
    • Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
    • 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!
