I just Talked with a Sprint costumer service person,and he told me before the end of october we will be getting some LTE signals and that in glendale(where I live) it will be pretty much covered and he also told me something about West Hollywood I couldnt understand,if he was saying that west hollywood and that zone will be the first to go live.

 

Sounds good friend!

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 probab

I am failing to see the point of posting repetitive bad 3G speed tests. We all experience poor Sprint 3G performance in many places on the network. Help me to understand how this is helpful or goes

1x800 in Hawaiian Gardens! As close as I have seen to SBC so far. Might just be testing because it keeps going back and forth to 1xRTT.

Its getting better. I think Sprint has 3 towers in Torrance that are already upgraded. That's more than Long Beach (go figure). On a tower at Del Amo and Maple I pull in over 1MB each time on 3G.

but all around Glendale I've been getting those speeds.I think Glendale is gonna be one of the first to go live.

 

I think you may be right on that if you're getting those speeds. I live in east LA near downtown. The best I can get it is 1mb if I'm lucky but average is around 200-400kbps. I was in Glendale yesterday near the I5 and when I tried to do the speedtest that's when I started having the network issues

Yeah. I called costumer service today,because my data connection was constantly going off and then back again and he told me they have been doing that for 3 days testing something,and he told me thats NV updates,LTE is around the corner.Well if you go to the list of cities, it says Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale. So definitely Glendale is gonna inaugurate LTE in LA.

I can say that West Hollywood voice coverage has become much more spotty in the last three months or so, and there are even some new dead spots that used to not exist.

Personally I've experienced spotty coverage around Fountain just east of Crescent heights and Fairfax. I can't hold on to a call driving through that area anymore or if I do the conversation turns into "What? Can you hear me? Hello? Hold on give me a few seconds to drive out of here "

Well i was on a call with one of the reps for sprint while i was getting my airave and i asked when lte will be released in the la Metro area and she said " it looks like 50 % of the la metro will be live and covered some time this month and it should be complete by march 2013" now if that is true that's freaking awesome and i can't wait lol.. It does make sense seeing as how i've been getting really choppy speeds and 3g has been on and off here in Hawthorne. In some areas in the southbay i get 2 mbs down speed and i've been on ehrpd for the last 2 or 3 weeks. So here's to it happening as she said guy's!

It will not be anywhere near 50% if LA launches before the end of this month. As of last weekend, they were only 16% complete with the market. And it took many months to get that much completed. We will be lucky to have 25% completed by the end of October.

      Are you sure that's Direct to Cell? That sounds like the 911 center was offline and they got brought back online via a Starlink uplink. Which also makes way more sense than Direct to Cell for that area.

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      By RedSpark · Posted

      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.
