tybo31316 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 UARFCN is 41176 from the screenshot of my field test. I got that same UARFCN from a Band 41 install near Edward Waters College on Kings Rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1dante Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 It was a random field test that I ran and I definitely was not expecting to see B41. Everything happened so fast. I didn't get a chance to run a speed test. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get a chance to run a speed test. I know how that is. I knew the site was there so every time I was in the area I was wanting to see if it was live.

1dante Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I see. I'll definitely be checking that area whenever I'm there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tybo31316 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I see. I'll definitely be checking that area whenever I'm there. Hopefully Sprint add more band 41 sites. I don't think that they are unless a site starts to get overburdened with traffic. Between all the legacy Clearwire sites and 8t8r's I think Sprint pretty much has a lot of the high data traffic areas covered. Except River City Marketplace and the St Johns Town Center from my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrell352 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Jax and Tampa rootmetrics dropped. Sprint did just as good as the other carriers expect the speed department. This has been the case the last 3 years. http://rootmetrics.com/en-US/rootscore/map/metro/tampa-fl/2017/1H http://rootmetrics.com/en-US/rootscore/map/metro/jacksonville-fl/2017/1H Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When on band 41 sprint is just as fast or faster than the other 3 carriers. Going from band 41 to band 25/26 the speeds drop tremendously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news is I have seen 2nd b25 carriers in Tampa and we all know at least Jacksonville and Ocala can do a 15x15. Gainesville can do a 10x10. They just need to hop to it. When b25 starts getting more capacity it does happen fast though. Combine that with 4x4 MIMO and b25 should run really great. I wish they had more lowband though.

1dante Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 That would be great Terrell. I have an iPhone so I can't do much and besides I have nowhere near the knowledge that you guys have.

Terrell352 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I suspect its the tower at the stadium. It would make the most sense. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narrowbeam antennas for what looked like 6 sectors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also they might be 4x2 mimo active. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
