Its still the same exact signal as before unless of course the tower was changed over to NV.

Yeah I know but for some reason it doesnt switch back and forth between rev a and 1x as much. Opposed to having my phone set to cdma only

I have seen workers up on the tower at JTB and I-95 about 2-3 weeks ago. You can see the new antennas they installed. Also, when I do a speed test around that tower I get between 1.5-2.0 Mbps on 3G.

Actually the site is a little off on the sprint site. See attached screenshots

Its also here in Daytona / Port Orange

"Enhanced High Rate Packet Data (eHRPD). eHRPD is an enhancement of 1xEV-DO (AKA HRPD) that enables LTE to CDMA handover"

 

I'm assuming this is why my pings have dropped?

There's a site off of I95 and baymeadows road that's getting work done but I dont know if its a sprint site though

Is it a tower right behind the Comfort Suites and Troy moving company? I'd like to go check it out later this month if that's the tower you're talking about.

 

EDIT: Oh Snap! That's the tower for my Deerwood FSCJ campus, too! (If it's the one you're talking about.)

Im getting eHRPD everywherebin Florida I go Ocala, Lake Panasoffkee, Tampa, Orlando, and evern where I live Wimauma fl 33598 all I have to do is go from cdma to cdma/lte and

Everywhere I've been so far in Southern Jacksonville to Starke, Florida has had eHRPD active. I'm glad that it's active down there, too. LTE sites gotta be lighting up in our area soon. The backhaul is probably already installed at many sites, we just need them to install the panels!

I rode by that site again today as I was driving down I95. The site is definately getting work done to it. The Verizon site and AT&T sites are already done in that area so my only guess is that its a sprint site. It also has clear wimax colocated on it. Can someone pop by that site to check it out?

I'm getting pictures of it tomorrow. I'll post what I discover here.

Anyone see any LTE anywhere, yet? I haven't been to the Baymeadows tower (the one in the picture above) since the 18th so I have no idea whether or not it is live yet.

 

I drove passed the Baymeadows tower on the way back from Orlando. I cycled airplane mode nothing happened. It didn't even show up on the LTE record. I also went by the site on I95 and Busch drive and got the same thing.

When was this? If I can get out of class sooner than later, then I'll drive by tonight, unless you drove by it today already.

This was yesterday. I won't be back in that area until next week. I live a couple miles from the Busch drive tower though so I can keep checking on that one.

I'll probably wait until this Thursday to check the i95/Baymeadows tower, then. Let me know if anything pops up.

 

P.S. Jacksonville Market's anticipated launch is now listed for December 2012, opposed to the original schedule of November 2012.

The good? It's only a month. :P

The Bad? It's delayed a month! :(

    • T-Mobile has saved its 28Mhz mmWave licenses by using the point to point method to do environment monitoring inside its cabinets. The attachment below shows the antennas used: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/ApplicationSearch/applAdmin.jsp;JSESSIONID_APPSEARCH=LxvbnJuvusmIklPhKy6gVK7f9uwylrZ8LiNf3BqIKlDp3_5GxoBr!300973589!225089709?applID=14787154#   Here are the sites for Franklin county OH: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/attachments/attachmentViewRD.jsp?applType=search&fileKey=66518254&attachmentKey=21989782&attachmentInd=applAttach
    • Yep, there is a label on the side of the box but it doesn't provide any useful info that the city doesn't already provide (Crown Castle Solutions is the franchisee). You can see my graphical interpretation of the city's dataset here.

    • Totally agree.  In my county and surrounding counties, TM did not place n-41 on every site.  When I look at the sites in question, I probably would have not placed it there either.  I can find just a few with n-71 only and in most of those cases if you live there and know the probable usage of the residents, you would not do a full upgrade on those sites.  One site in particular is set up to force feed n-71 through a long tunnel on the Turnpike.  No stopping allowed in the tunnel. No stores, movie theaters, bathrooms, so n41 would be a waste.    n25 is not really needed either, so it is not there.  The tunnel is going through & under a mountain with more black bears than people.  TM was smart.  Get good coverage in the tunnel but do not waste many many thousands of dollars with extra unused spectrum. I also see sites with only n71 & n25.  Again this makes sense to me.  Depending on what county we are talking about, they moved much of their b25 from LTE to nr.  Some counties have more n25 than a neighboring county, but luckily, it is plenty everywhere.   When you are in a very rural area, n41 can run up the bills and then be barely used.  I am NOT finding sites that should have had n41 but TM failed to provide it.  They may have to come back later in a few years and upgrade the site to n41.  However, we just may eventually see the last little piece on Band 25 leave LTE and move to n25. I am not sure if the satellite to phone service is using band 25 G block as LTE or nr. We also can possibly have at least some AWS move from LTE to nr at some point.  Yes, everybody wants n41. it is not justified in some cases.  When I travel, I desire some decent service along the entire route but it does not have to be 1 or 2 gig download.   If I can get 50/5 on a speedtest with data that will flow and not stutter, I am very happy. Yes, they will swap out the USC gear.  TM needs to match their existing network. The USCC equipment did the job for years, but it is time to retire it.
