Network Vision/LTE - Pittsburgh Market

Keep in mind that the Pittsburgh market has a pretty far reach and there is at least one 4G LTE site on the air in Pittsburgh. I can't volunteer the location and you'll never see it with a commercial PRL anyways.

 

I thought the PRL only dictated 1X/EVDO connection scans...? And the SIM controlled LTE connections?

That very well could be the case, I've spent too much time dealing with the construction side of things with this new equipment to actually sit down and soak in some LTE theory.

 

In any case, they do have a way to 'hide' it from the general public until testing is completed.

Nope. The PRL very well controls it along with other pieces that make up the final PRL the chipset builds.

 

It just doesn't control it the way it does for CDMA.

 

A testing site can be modified from the standard 310-120 and your phone would never find it.

Any specific areas that you can name? I haven't seen anywhere that is considerable faster. ie downtown, waterfront, squirrel hill, southside, West Mifflin, Clairton, or north Shore.

 

i can tell you most of the area is running ehrpd and i do think that is one of the first steps in nv

New member here. I pulled into work in Moon township Pa and when I looked down I almost fell over, 4g was on.

3.31 down 2.81 up. I'm in my office now and back on 3g. I'll update when I go back out at lunch.

Same here! Work right next to the airport. Pulled in and saw 4g and about crapped my pants... seeing as we're not even on the official list for LTE yet. Pulled 6mb down and 3.3mb up. I work on the top floor (5th) right next to the window and the LTE has been pretty steady inside.

Sensorly?

iphone 5 FINALLY found some LTE near Moon Township.

 

 

Sprint 4G Data (XXXXXX)

Used 1,206^KB / Unlimited

Remaining Unlimited

Just installed it. Any particular way that I should configure? Or just let it run with gps on?

I just turn on GPS and go to "Map Trip" and let it collect data points!

Thanks. I've done that and have collected 534 measurements however I dont see it on the map yet.

Hopefully soon.

This is great news! But why wouldn't Sprint announce it? I'm sure people have left Sprint because of the absence of an LTE implementation schedule in Pittsburgh? I, for one, considered going back to Verizon in May when my contract is up because of it.

Because there is not enough coverage to cover the whole city and Sprint has just started work in the market so each week more and more sites will be coming online. If Sprint where to say Pittsburgh had LTE now people would complain that theres not enough coverage, so Sprint, once accepted will leave the site on for people to use it instead of waiting a couple of months to launch the whole market.

There isn't even a date for Pittsburgh. If LTE construction has started, there must be a targeted completion date. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/212-network-visionlte-deployment-running-list/ lists the markets and what round they are in for every major city in the US except Pittsburgh (and Denver). The % completion and estimated completion dates for the markets on this page are periodically updated. Pittsburgh is not even on the horizon!

That list is not a complete list of all markets eather as it says in small print above all the markets. Also Sprint will not always state that they are going to start a market. Prime example is Detroit, they are in active deployment, but they have not announced it. It's all just a marketing scheme. If I where you I'd be happy they have started there as some markets have not been heard of at all yet.Patience is virtue.

I did a few too. Mostly Cherringtion/University Blvd area.

[sammad]

Does anyone know how long it takes for the map to reflect 4G we measured? I dont see the measurements from earlier today.

Thanks

check to see if it uploaded on the details screen

Sensory can take a while to update all layers.

Thanks guys. Hopefully this keeps building. Would love to see wider coverage.

I see it now on the very zoomed out layers. Still hasn't been updated on the more zoomed in ones. You'll notice this is how Sensorly functions alot of times. It seems at points they have way too much data to process and fall behind and it takes between 24-48 hours to update all the way through.

Definitely a good start lets hope it expands at a nice rate

 

It's 420 somewhere
