Click on a Cascade ID for a coverage map of that site.

Update 6/15/2012, all maps have been updated to better reflect antenna configuration, this is still just an approximate guess as to coverage YMMV.

 

Interactive maps for sponsors can be found here

 

I will be maintaining coverage maps of LTE sites that people are able to or have been able to get a connection to. Please report in this thread if you are able to get an LTE connection along with the site location, Screenshots are helpful in verifying connection.

 

Even if you can no longer connect to the site please provide the information as the coverage maps will include those as well.

 

Hopefully this will allow for more efficient LTE site hunting.

 

Sites that I know of So far

 

I will get caught up on it this week.....

 

Atlanta

AT25XC056, Reported by danielholt, now blocked

AT25XC068, Reported by themuffinman, now blocked

AT03XC088, Reported by slackblade, allowing connections

 

Kansas City

KC03XC133, Reported by kckid, allowing connections

 

Houston

HO23XC275, Reported by techwrench, now blocked

HO33XC479, Reported by techwrench, now blocked

HO03XC425, Reported by techwrench, now blocked

HO03XC328, Reported by Latinoboi30, now blocked

 

 

Working on finding a way to display multiple .kmz files with image overlay on an online map. Any Ideas?

 

*DISCLAIMER, This is an approximation of coverage and no guarantee is provided that coverage will be there when you are so do not whine that its not correct, I only have tower height data for Atlanta at this point so all other towers will use an assumed height of 35 feet for urban sites. Antenna configuration including down tilt may have serious effects on actual coverage.

AT25XC068

 

This is the site I been getting my signal from since last thursday. It seemed like it was blocked over the weekend, but yesterday I had a signal again but by mid afternoon it was gone. Got up this morning, no lte, so I guess it is currently being blocked.

I use Netmonitor and Open Signal Maps. Both can be downloaded on Google Play,(market).

 

Got 4G this morning and then went away in Atlanta.

 

I did not want to double post, but I posted in the Atlanta LTE my screen shots. Realized I should have posted them here. Sorry.

What was your location where you were receiving the connection?

Here on the NW side of town near 1960 and Jones road. I'm still getting an lte connection off and on now.

Nice! I have to say, I am somewhat impressed at the coverage area of the individual cells.

 

Yeah I was impressed as well, now I haven't had an lte connection in about 10 minutes

Hey whats up, I saw the screenshots you posted in the other thread. I am not sure how to tell which tower you are connected to and opensignal seems to be inaccurate a lot of times. So were there any other areas where you went that you were still getting an lte signal?

It has been brought to my attention that the coverage reported may be a little generous, I will post updated coverage maps tomorrow sorry for the inconvenience.

If you are able to connect again could you take a screenshot of netmonitor so that I can find the site your connecting to?

I will definitely take a screenshot of net monitor if I get a connection again.

I was not able to get a connection again. I will keep an eye out for it, but I am working from home tomorrow.

 

What should I be using to get the info needed?

The location shown on NetMonitor appears to be off. It looks like this is Site# HO03XC328. Which is on a monoploe behind a strip mall at Jones Road and Crescent Moon. It's less than a half mile from you, and about 2/3 mile south of where NetMonitor shows. It was scheduled to be complete at the end of May. So this is probably the site.

I wasn't sure how accurate the location was but since I'm.off today, I'm going to go located it and do a speed test right at that location to see what speeds I get.

Excellent! Let us know what you see. Now you know exactly where to go. Maybe you can take some pictures. It is right behind the back corner of that strip mall.

Will definitely keep u posted as to what I see and maybe snap a few pics of the tower. And thanks for letting me know exactly where its located.

In general, is there any way to translate the Network ID (NID) and Base Station ID (BID) values reported by netmonitor, which also seem to be the standard on-phone values detected by the Android utility Android System Info, to the site numbers reported in your maps? Is there a table somewhere that can cross-reference these?

I have not been able to connect BSID's in NetMonitor or CDMA Field Test with Sprint Cascade ID #'s yet.

    • It took a couple of months but this site is finally back online.  I was certain that a decommission permit would come through one day since it was offline for over 3 months but I passed by it today and it was working again. — — — — — This site is also finally live. This was probably the longest I had ever seen a site take to go live once all hardware was installed, about 3 months. Hopefully the site in Long Island City doesn't take as long.
    • So while we wait for @RAvirani to fix the website, I was able to connect one of my phones to Verizon n77 on a site with an NCI that appears to be adjacent to an NCI that was already in my database. Specifically, the site I call Taylor Run has been observed with these NCIs on n77: 44EEE469A 44EEE46AA 44EEE46AB 44EEE46BA 44EEE46BB I separately connected to the site I call Fairlington on its beta sector on n77: 44EEE46DA 44EEE46DB I'm assuming alpha sector is 44EE46CA/B.  With this data, I learned two things: 1) They're clearly not tracking the LTE GCIs with the NR NCIs.  Taylor Run is 1B61Fxx, while Fairlington is 1B680xx, not sequential. 2) It's clear that they're not using three byte sectors.  They're not even using two byte sectors like LTE does.  It looks to be done in an oddball fashion like how Dish is doing things.  Best I can come up with is a site ID that's something like: (NCI-0x20)/(0x30) It's possible it's actually (NCI+0x10)/(0x30) but I'm not really sure.  I also haven't connected to anything outside my immediate area here to know if this is consistent with other regions.  Not entirely sure how to persuade a device to do so, my Dish phone just connects to n77 at random in lieu of going to no signal.  (No data passes.) My take is to "break" the site notes for Verizon NR the way it was done with Dish NR, so at least the notes don't get copied to inconsistent sites, as has happened when I connected to Fairlington (came up as "Taylor Run").  It seems that Verizon, AT&T, and Dish all need work on the NR side to make sure site notes work properly.  Frustrating that they didn't standardize that for NR the way they did for LTE.  T-Mobile and US Cellular (while it lasts) seem to have done it the way I would have done it.  The others, not so much. - Trip
    • I tried to access that forum but it says I need a password. Is it limit to certain contributors?    I was going to report that the website is broken. For days it's been saying unable to retrieve signal data then going to a 404 error.
    • Sorry, I forgot about it when I posted previously.  And then I was talking to chamb by e-mail and away from my computer and suggested posting here.  Moved the posts to the proper spot. - Trip
    • It is probably better to post topics related to the map in the dedicated thread to help keep things organized and secure. This thread is big enough as it is, just want to try help keep things on track!
