Great news visalia lte is up near golden west high school

I'm going to be in the Tulare/Visalia area for the holidays. I will run Sensorly on my trip down from Sacramento on 99, so we'll be able to get maps for both my market and the LCV market. I'll also run it while I'm driving around Tulare, Visalia, and Reedley/Kingsburg/Selma visiting family and friends, too. I'll try to have either my son or husband take screen shots if I get LTE signal if I happen to be driving.

[techiegirl]

Oh, and I'll bring my good camera and try to get photos of cell tower sites for you guys, too.

After even further analysis, that's not even a Sprint site. Sprint is on the one in the background.

 

Bummer, I wasn't sure which tower had the sprint radios. Here is a close up of the North tower:

 

 

 

Sprint or not, it looks like the panels are up today, and they are noticeably larger that the previous ones:

 

 

Hopefully we'll see Sprint follow suit soon!

I can confirm this, I was driving by there today and after your post decided to fire up sensorly:

 

 

My signal strength wasn't great so I'm not sure if I could get faster speeds closer to the tower, but the speeds still beat 3G.

My wife just texted me to say that she is getting LTE at the Visalia Costco (she works there and this is the first time she has ever seen 4g on her Galaxy Nexus).

[Flraiders]

Does any one know the coverage of lte in visalia is it all going live??

[jspsuperman]

LTE is on strong south of Walnut in Visalia. Good signal inside of Target on Mooney. Getting great speeds, seems to be in the low 20mb down range. Very exciting

[jspsuperman]

I would like to upload some screen shots but am having issues. Any help would be appreciated

Ok here are my screen shots

Ok here are my screen shots

Those are really good speeds...  And Target is notorious in having awful, awful reception and speeds. Glad to hear it's looking up. It is very possible that they're firing up Visalia.

WOW! Big news for Visalia! CONGRATS! 

[TechEric]

here is my sensorly post to my twitter

[bjarabian]

For some reason Sensorly doesn't work when they are testing the towers.  At lease in Firebaugh and Mendota it didn't.  Once testing was over then it worked.

Killer news. Very encouraging.

I was at the Lowe's on the northside off Demaree and that's where I got the first shot of LTE, then went to my mother in laws house  near the walmart grocery store, and they have horrible service and it was still 3G and few bars, but hopefully they will up the power when it goes "live".  Also still have no bars to 1 bar at my house off Pinkham and Walnut and still on 3G, but seeing that LTE on my screen last night left me giddy as a school girl, I hope they get most of Visalia covered

Too many trees in the area of Walnut and Pinkham. I think the Acequia site, once live, should help you with that. It seems to be the only one not broadcasting LTE in Visalia where Network VIsion work has been done.

[jspsuperman]

I also get no lte at my house behind cos, but good 3g signal. Its so close lol

[TechEric]

I hope so, It will be nice to not have to use another device inside my house just to have decent cell signal

I'm a flight instructor. Flew over SE Fresno today and got LTE between SE Fresno and Fowler . Took a screenshot of exact location but can't upload. File too big.

So who plotted the Sensorly tracks on Roeben by Walnut and up Shirk? In Visalia, of course.

[Esparza_559]

Right here I work off shirk and Doe st I notice the lte so I turned on sensorly to map it.

I used to live in Gold Creek right there off Roeben. I miss that place.
