Boulder hwy and water st. I got lte this last night and this morning.

 

Yeah I got a blip of LTE at that spot. I had Sensorly running at the time so it should be mapped. I couldn't find the cell site that it was coming from though. And driving around for a few minutes, I couldn't replicate the signal.

No LTE in Sin City. Instead, Vegas is getting El Tí y, the cheap Mexican knock off.   AJ

First, a big thanks to orangeblue for the find.   Second, here are some pictures of the 1st confirmed Band 41 LTE ALU 8T8R equipment in the Las Vegas Market!     All the links below are the oth

I can't figure it out either.

 

It might be the tower up at Boulder & Gibson.

Think y'all need to post the message about the speedtests before this turns into the NYC e-penis thread.

 

iPhone users can't map but they sure can post screen shots of their location they found LTE, the signal strength, and the LTE engineering screen showing both the serving cell and cell identity on the same screen. They can even track down the sites via the signal strength and cell identity using the last 2 digits after turning it into HEX to cheat if they want.

Its been a couple months sense I posted pictures of the equipment being replaced in Kingman and for the most part, it appears most of the towers have been updated (If not all) in the area. I've seen the new sites up from Kingman to Havasu, a lot of the sites have removed the old hardware, and there is a noticeable difference in distance and speed in 3G. North of Kingman there is a small golf community called Valley Vista which is in line of sight but about 16 miles north. There used to be little to no service there, but now I can get around there with 2-4 bars depending on my location.

 

Still no LTE. Does anyone know how long it takes from the time its a up and running network to flip the switch? Another quick question, its about backhaul. Does LTE have its own dedicated network that it uses separate from the others? It seems for over a year now that during peak times 3G isn't just slow, it's literally unusable even when running on new equipment. Can someone explain to me how this will improve with LTE?

It seems to me when I drove thru Kingman last Thursday that backhaul hasn't been done there yet. It's crazy to me. And when Network Vision is complete, 1X/EVDO/LTE will all run thru the new backhaul. Hopefully soon it will all come into place, but not before I come back thru on Monday.

Damn I have a really bad data outage from 10 pm last night any 1 knows what's going on by tropicana and Nellis

 

It could be anything from a power outage to someone went and dug and severed a fiber line because they weren't paying attention, to an issue at the switch, or even too many users using that site all at once. The bad thing is in a market that has not been announced if it has to do with LTE, they won't open a trouble ticket. <img src='http://s4gru.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />

You might get some service inside some of the CityCenter hotels according to Sensorly, especially the front of The Cosmopolitan.

They better hurry up before summer for their own sake in Las Vegas. I know how brutal the summer is there. I won't go near the strip in the middle of summer.

Sake in Las Vegas? Maybe if Softbank holds their first Spank convention there. Then the sake will be flowing!

Daughter works at the RIO...Sensorly shows lte up & down I15 but not INSIDE the RIO; I'll be going there next week; upstairs on the second floor I get the strongest Wimax signal INSIDE anywhere I've been in Vegas..so I'll take my SW Tri Fi and MacBook to see how strong LTE is at the same spot; I can't map it (no LTE phone yet) but I can hopefully get some download tests to share; if I get an LTE signal I'll move around in the casino to see how well it penetrates..

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
