Ok guys, discovered another new live LTE site between Atlanta and Athens, in Duluth area.   Approx address for reference: Steak N' Shake   820 Lawrenceville Suwanee Rd Lawrenceville, GA 30043

It's funny how unreleased tech always seems to work so much better than whatever it is you're using now.

no, you need to re-read sir, HE GOT A 1.21 GIGAWATT UPLOAD SPEED DURING WIMAX DEPLOYMENT... dont argue with him, his uncle probably works for sprint.

I forgot about the way Robert suggested. Much faster than my way. On the Evo it's under "About > Network > Mobile network type"

I like your other way better because it shows a great speed test result, too. ;)

Hi folks; a newbie here. Got my Samsung Galaxy S3 last week, and have been searching for 4G speeds.

 

I am in southern Cherokee County. I went to two different nearby cell tower sites (just to be sure) that this site says has 4G ... but nothing.

 

Is 4G not yet fully turned on in metro ATL?

 

Regardless, the phone itself rocks.

It's been stated that even if 4G is live at a site Sprint is blocking device access for the time being. It may be related to possible connectivity issues with the EvoLTE.

Welcome to S4GRU. I am looking forward to the day when I get my 32GB Pebble Blue SGS3. But it's still on back order. *sigh*

 

As Odell mention above, Sprint is still blocking access to LTE sites. We wrote on article about it here: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-167-sprint-intentionally-blocking-new-lte-devices-from-accessing-live-lte-sites/

 

We have had dozens, if not 100's of reports of S4GRU members getting LTE in many cities, only to have them eventually be blocked by Sprint. We are all waiting for Sprint to stop the blocking. Most likely it will occur after an OTA hits the streets for the EVO LTE in the next few weeks.

You might want to watch your wording there Roberto. You know the LTE hungry masses will read that as "Robert said that the OTA to fix the LTE issue is coming in the next week or so!"

Yes. I cannot help for people to over read what I say. It happens every day.

What's up with the EVO LTE?

 

there is some sort of an issue in connecting to Sprint's lte and maintaining the connection. It is expected that a software update will resolve it

Thanks for the prompt replies folks - I just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking anything.

 

FYI: my S3 was delivered with 4G turned off.

 

Yep, all the devices come with the radio configured for CDMA only. Makes senses from a standpoint of coverage.

How is battery life when you have coverage all day?

 

Not sure if you are directing the question to me but I can answer it anyway. About 3 weeks ago I was getting an lte signal and for the most part battery performance was a lot better than I thought it was gonna be. Yes its not quite as efficient compared to just being on 3g but it should still get you through the day effortlessly, unless of course you are planning on streaming hd video all day or something of that nature.

Anyone has any idea about LTE at the ATL airport and in Jonesboro?

 

I do get 4G with one bar at my house.

 

My other question is how do you get on the LTE tower? Is there a secret?

I was in Sam's in Oakwood tonight and looked down at my GNex and it was getting 4G. I ran a speed test and got 27mbs down and 11mbs up. This is about 8 miles north of the sprint coverage map.

Nice. Glad to see Sprint is covering areas that they haven't updated their coverage maps to reflect yet.

      Are you sure that's Direct to Cell? That sounds like the 911 center was offline and they got brought back online via a Starlink uplink. Which also makes way more sense than Direct to Cell for that area.

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      By RedSpark · Posted

      February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.
