Network Vision/LTE - Las Vegas Market

Looking forward to LTE when I'm back there in July. Hope more sites go live around the strip. Early May was definitely a disappointment as I wasn't able to use any data anywhere. well not meaningfully.

Same experience here, I ended up forcing to 1x only for data which worked pretty good on 800smr. By the time I go back maybe 6g will be rolled out.

The one that I am connected to is apparently far enough out that it hits the In N Out as well.

Finally 4G LTE on Galaxy Note II in Vegas. At 'Charleston Neighborhood Preserve' (off Torey Pines and Hyde Ave) 24.7 Mbps dwn and 9 Mbps up.  Holy crap!  Speeds on 3G at my home 4 miles away 1.5-2Mbps. Like going from dial-up to T1.  Sensorly map is spot on.  So excited didn't take Speed Test screen shot (I know, no pic, it didn't happen).  I'll use Sensorly app next time I'm up there.   Digi's pixs have me analyzing tower configs now.  Must get a life. lol  Great sight!  Keep up the good work.

Las Vegas is an Alcatel-Lucent vendor region. Best to go to my thread on Alcatel-Lucent equipment rather than Digis Ericsson one.

Possible new tower broadcasting LTE at the spaghetti bowl.  Signal check pro dings a second time on my daily commute now and sprints network enhancement map shows a tower near the the 95S to 15S interchange as having 2 data speed enhancements.

When I get back to Visalia I'll look into it.

I'm a very patient fellow, but it truly would be nice if Sprint/AlcaLu would start lighting up some LTE south of the 215.

Yahoo...looks like the Vivaldi Park tower got upgraded this past week; here are the photos; would the experts (Robert, AJ, Josh et al) weigh in and interpret these photos for me and others; the upgrades are at the top of the tower and at the moment there is NO LTE signal coming from it; lift is still there so I'll swing by tomorrow to see if work is continuing; also it may be waiting for backhaul as there is only one dish at the site

Alcatel-Lucent equipment--me thinks..4 PCS & 2 SMR per antenna; I still wonder about the backhaul for this upgrade; the dish appears to be for another carrier..

Looks like Clearwire below.

This is a pic I took BEFORE the upgrade..is Clearwire 1 rung below the Sprint upgraded equipment?  Would Sprint LTE and Wimax share the same tower?

Why not? Different tech, different company.

Yay! I'll mark it down on the permit map! Thanks for posting! I'll keep an eye out for city inspections to start soon.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
