I have no idea, just noticed a crew working there up on the tower on panels that from a glance might be Sprint. My primary phone is on Verizon so I can tell you that there is no LTE from them on that site (signal was in the high 90's), so if not Sprint they could be AT&T's or maybe even Clearwire TD-LTE upgrades.

There was a crew working on the tower at Curry Ford and Crystal Lake at around 10:30am today, they were working on the second from the bottom tier of panels, which I believe had 6 bottom ports and cables coming out. Couldn't see any RRU's, but I was driving and didn't get the best look, tomorrow ill pull into the plaza there and get some pics.

I figured Clearwire (single wide panels), Nextel (4 shark fins per sector), and Sprint from bottom to top?? Looks like the top is empty, would have been nice to have Verizon LTE panels there as they were dead in Costco and running like -108 RSRP at the intersection, with high 90's RSSI indoors on EVDO (I don't carry my Sprint phone with me everywhere). I modded the pic to show the panel being removed better.

Not sure if this is Sprint but these guys appeared to be removing what look like legacy 1900 Sprint panels near University and Forsyth by Costco, with RRU panels (3 per sector) on the same level. As I'm not familiar with the installs in this area, if this is another carrier then my mistake .

Sprint lte vs Verizon lte
mike656 replied to vryan44's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
Don't forget that Sprint's new NV panels have 3 internal separately adjustable antennas inside them, so an LTE upgrade on one of those will not change coverage or capacity for the 1x or EVDO services at 1900 MHz. LTE at 1900, which is being deployed now, is on a separate antenna within the same panel. -
Ouch, it was even worse on a demo iPhone at FSK mall I played with not long ago. It seems that testing is going on at least in the Ballenger Creek area, I keep an almost 11 year old VM Kyocera 2119b as a glovebox phone that would get a steady -98 dBm where I charge it. For a few weeks until recently it was in the -89 to -91 range, so maybe I was connecting to a RRU based site being tested.
