Hey Guys, Do you happen to know when the Metrowest or Cambridge/Somerville areas will be live for LTE. I have heard everything from Late September to Early December. Thanks!

Scattered towers are already live.. more come online each week. We are lucky, progress in the Boston market has been very steady, and Sprint is no longer blocking LTE signals up here. If you make a donation, you can access the section of this site containing constantly updated maps displaying which tower upgrades are complete.

Someone on the Sprint Community forums claims to have latched onto 4G LTE in the Encinitas area of southern California.
reply to them and tell them to sensorly.

If you can, suggest to them to use Sensorly and then send us a screen shot to confirm!

Sprint 4G LTE has gone live in San Francisco as well as the East Bay and possibly the entire Bay Area within the last 48 hours...

 

I had just driven on to Treasure Island (SF, where I live) and noticed the little 4G icon lighting up. Ran a speed test (from the tower in West Oakland near I-80 East on-ramp of the Bay Bridge) and got this:

Also, I noticed another user on the XDA DEV forums also got 4G signal while driving on the 101 near Candlestick Park in SF:

I live in South Bend, Indiana, and my phone just suddenly switched from 3G to 4G. My phone is performing at a much speedier rate as well. Does this mean what I think it does, that the 4G LTE market has finally come to South Bend? I hope that this is not just some type of test! I've been waiting for this, along with many of you, well, like, forever, and if I wake up to find that my phone reads '3G' at the top of my screen, rather than the magnificent, long-anticipated, lightning-fast, '4G', what will result is a complete devastation of an inexplicable magnitude on my part! Seriously, all dramatics aside, it will kind of suck. :-/

South Bend is nowhere near being launched yet. The signal is pretty isolated at this time and will likely come and go. There will be more and more sites added in the South Bend/Elkhart area for the next month or so. Service will likely be launched before the end of the year.

 

Enjoy it when you can get it. When you get a chance, please run the Sensorly app the next time you are connected to 4G. It will help us all see and plot the coverage in South Bend. Thanks!

Yes, we have been anxiously awaiting the launch of the 4G LTE market here in Indiana, just as everyone else that doesn't have it in their area. I noticed while driving my kids to their schools this morning, that we lost the 4G signal when we left the Notre Dame area. It seems to only connect within a mile(or two) radius to the Notre Dame campus, and it was the same for my kid's phones as well( they each have the LG Viper 4G LTE). I drove all around South Bend, and my phone was picking up 3G everywhere I drove besides Notre Dame. It's great for us, since we live two blocks from Notre Dame, but it stinks for everyone else.

I just found LTE signal this morning by Universal Studios Hollywood. The moment I drove from the valley into Los Angeles I lost it.

 

I just noticed some purple spots finally showing up on the Sensorly map of LA. Hopefully they migrate south down to downtown and the rest of LA soon...

I was able to take a screenshot(via Sensorly) of the 4G LTE coverage in South Bend, IN. As you can see, I'm pretty lucky! I've been connected to 4G LTE for 24 hours now, and although I'm enjoying it, I'm keeping in mind that it's likely to go in-and-out until Sprint gets it up and running in this area. Maybe some kind of freak thing will happen and I'll stay connected, but I'm not holding my breath.

I just noticed I have 4G in Kingston Springs' date=' TN. That is around 20 minutes West of Nashville.[/quote']

 

Excellent news. Thanks for reporting this new market sighting. If you could run the Sensorly app the next time you connect so it can plot the coverages in your area. That would be great. And we can follow the progress. Thanks!

    • Checked just now and found a 56MB GP System update pending...will follow up after install.    Edit:  Confirmed that this one moved from August to September 1 after updating.
    • Are you sure that's Direct to Cell? That sounds like the 911 center was offline and they got brought back online via a Starlink uplink. Which also makes way more sense than Direct to Cell for that area.

    • February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.
