Not sure what phone you have but if it's the EVO LTE you have to toggle cdma and LTE mode in your network settings.. If you use root metrics, open signal, or cdma field test any one of them will tell you you are connected to eHRPD.. Also in your about phone in the settings will tell you

I talked to my source a few days ago and said we MAY see some signal in 2-3 weeks. Not confirmed but may. eHRPD has been live ib Fort Myers for around a month now here in Cape. Think I already posted this but not positive.

Pretty sure we will see sone sort of signal before then unless soem delays extend the implementation for extended periods of time. I will talk to my source again to see if he hasnt gotten any more information.

I am a new sprint costumer, and I was wondering when will there be 4G LTE in the Southwest area of Florida. The only reason I decided to go with sprint for a iPhone 5 is because sprint is now supposed to be adding 4G LTE to numerous new cities. I have heard on a few websites that the Fort Myers area is supposed to be receiving new 4G towers, but I have not seen any definite dates. I would greatly appreciate if someone could tell me a general date on which 4G LTE will be available in my area.

From twitter in regards to SW FL.

 

@Sprint4Grollout Work just started back in the market in October. Sprint should accept first completed sites in the next few weeks. Stay tuned.

 

I have seen some action around a sprint tower on 75/immokalee

Nothing has been SEEN here in Cape... but that means nothing due to me not looking as often as I should/could be lol. I also talked to my source at Sprint and he said first signals MAY start appearing within 2-3 weeks but not a certainty. This week a week to a week and a half ago.

That's in the middle of Tampa and Fort Myers. Would it be part of Fort Myers or Tampa market? Hopefully party of ours and work will stay soon but am thinking with all of the work being done in the Tampa market i was thinking it may be part of that market?

No I was on the Manatee permit site yesterday poking around and came across some stuff like this http://public.mymanatee.org/permitting_online/permit.pdf?permitnumber=12081217

 

I'm not sure what the setback is:

**PROJECT INFORMATION/NOTES/CONDITIONS**

REMOVE/REPLACE 3 EXIST ANTENNAS/ADD NEW REMOTE

RADIO UNITS TO TOWER/07110927

1 OF 2 *EXSITING SETBACKS

I believe all of Manatee County is in the SW Florida market. If memory serves, the Tampa market starts at the Hillsborough County line.

Okay, awesome. I am looking forward to seeing something here soon hopefully. I have the next two days off and a paycheck to fill T the gas tank. Wonder what i will be traveling to lol. Took pictures of all reported Sprint towers here immediately following the official announcement of the forty Myers cake coral area to compare to on roughly a weekly basis.

I just found this on Lee county's website. It's a bit difficult to search, the only way I could find anything worthwhile was to put in specific streets.

Hoping someone scopes this one out. It looks like an easy tower work and similar to ones just completed in Cocoa and Grant, FL. Looks like a good find. It's a drive for me to check out, not that I haven't done that before :) Hoping someone has luck at this site that is closer than I.

    • 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.

    • FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
