JuAnM269 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 The previous tower I posted I confirmed today is a new nv site for sprint. Also here are the pictures of the site 2 roads down from me and the outside cabinets are new they were not there the last time I visited the site.

Shahal Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Nice. That's only a few miles from me. I need to check on the towers around here and see if there's any work being done to them. Sent from my rooted LTEVO running CM10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2 I do not see Network Vision panels or RRU's in these pics. The top rack looks like AT&T to me. Because what would be legacy panels on that rack also have an RRU attached. So that cannot be Sprint. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked on the network.sprint.com site, the cdma field test, and mapped the base station with Google maps. So your telling me nothing on that tower or on the ground looks sprint Edited December 16, 2012 by JuAnM269 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonnash Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Its nice all you Knoxville people can start getting rid of your dial up (kidding!), but I am more concerned with Nashville. Any updates? I live outside murfreesboro in Walter hill and got lte 3 days in a row for about 1/2 mile on Jefferson pke but that's all I have seen. None in Nashville where I work around Belmont. Yes I work on top of the hill at the building with the huge tower if you know Nashville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S4GRU Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I cannot tell by the photos with certainty. However, new cabinets can show up more than 6 months in advance. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongboy Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 The antennas on the shaft of the tower look exactly like one I have seen in the Chicago area that is confirmed sprint. The tower went from legacy to NV without antenna replacements. The tower is similar to that one, all the usual places were full. It did not get 800 service.

Shahal Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I've also noticed in the last 2 days 3g is randomly dropping out and coming back and so is my signal in Knoxville. I'll go from full service to no bars and back and not be moving. I'm not sure if that's a sign of them working on the towers around here or if Knoxville is just having problems Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2 Can anyone else confirm this?

Anyone we can talk to about leasing some of our tower? I will pm you with further details. If you grab the Sensorly app from the Play Store you can see where LTE sites are active (or at least were active at one point). Nashville is still pretty sparse but if you feel like doing a bit of driving around town you could find the active sites and check em out.

brandonnash Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Thanks I just downloaded that. Unfortunately the LTE that I see is on the other side of town for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonnash Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Drove thru a couple spots that were highlighted on the map in Smyrna and didn't pick anything up. They must have been a test run at the time someone picked up the lte. I'll keep paying attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longstride Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Sensorly shows LTE all around where I live and work off Charlotte Pike, but I have yet to connect to LTE. My Evo tries 4G, then eventually times out and reverts to 3G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhuling Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I'm going to rant real quick here in this thread followed by a quick question for those in the know. Rant: It is more than a little irritating to see US Cellular unveiling their LTE in Knoxville, and more specifically, Maryville, before Sprint. I've got grandmothers rolling on LTE with their new smartphones while I'm sitting with my GS3 just hoping to get a 3G signal good enough to do any kind internet activity. Question: Speaking of Maryville. The title of this thread mentions Nashville, Chattanooga, Knoxville, and Tri-Cities. I am assuming Maryville is also considered part of this market too, but it not being mentioned has me a little worried. Can someone talk me off the ledge and let me know Maryville will be getting Sprint LTE as a part of this market? Thanks everyone. Love the site.
