If they execute like they have in NYC, we now have well over 300 small cells in just over 5 months times.

I think he was saying there are  2030 small cells nationwide around the corner. Not sure what the 30 is in there instead of a nice round number like 2000.  :D

 

 

How many small cells in LA does that make counting the Jonathan Kramer's tracking?

Now we just need small cells in Orange County,I.E., riverside, San Diego and band 26 all across SoCal and we'll be set. Lol!

How does the earfcn of 41176 fit with the other B41 carriers in the market? What do the first 3 carriers use?

Year 2030. Attempted joke. Sorry.

I knew the sarcasm in the context you meant. Knowing Sprint, that's pretty accurate

Weren't NYC small cells already in place and just needed to be converted from WiMax to LTE?

Alot of them were from Wimax hayday's, but the last 3 months i have seen at least 30+ pop up that were not part of the initial Wimax deployment.

Initial quick conversions were existing small cells right of ways.

 

Most recent ones and going forward are organic sprint deployments.

For the first time I noticed some small cells in West L.A. So far, the parts of the city that have multiple deployments include: Koreatown, parts of Hollywood, NoHo and now West LA. There's probably more, I just haven't come across them.

I actually saw one way down south on Carson Street just west of Normandie last month when I was in town. LA city strip between Torrance and Carson.

And in Alaska where it was reported that AT&T is broadcasting an LTE carrier in the PCS G Block, Sprint's PCS G Block.

Any proof of this?

Any updates on small cell deployments?

It's all over and expanding every day.

 

Majority is in existing light poles.

These aren't small cells, but they're kind of rare:  Single sector GMO macro sites (non-omnidirectional).

(That's a Verizon site across the street.)

    • 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.
