There is no way the the Penn and 59th tower would reach downtown. I mapped data from downtown with a very strong signal. Also there is a tower active on 10th near OSU OKC.

 

 

I believe there are 3+ towers active.

 

Did you get the Sector iD's?

Sprint’s first small cell in Northwest Oklahoma City, using Nokia’s 2.5 GHz mini macro. This pole went up in September, and the equipment was added in late October or early this month.     Sent from

Personally, I would rather have LTE in most places I go, than get stuck on EDGE and GPRS every time I leave the city limits.  Even if that LTE was slower in urban areas.  But Tmo is counting on custom

LTE is live in downtown OKC. I mapped it on Sunday on foot.   http://www.sensorly.com/map/4G/US/USA/Sprint/lte_310sprint#q=200 N harvey oklahoma city

Techsico crews were present at the tower on Union parking lot at 10 AM this morning, Also saw a windstream truck out at the 81st & Mingo site. If we are lucky this Friday will be like last Friday and more 4G could pop up.

 

I'm not sure if a wind stream truck being there is a good thing.....

I'm not a Sprint customer so I can't test this, but I think I found a couple sites with NV equipment. Unfortunately, I only had my cell phone so I couldn't get good pics of the panels, but they're brand new and Sprint is the only carrier around here that uses that many RRUs per panel. Do these look like NV cabinets? This is at OK33XC092 by Lake Hefner at Hefner Rd. & Portland at the OKC Water Utilities maintenance yard.

Also, I spied the same setup with the same panels and cabinets that recently went up on the rooftop site at Weokie Credit Union on NW Expressway, site OK03XC079.

 

Edit: Also looks like OK23XC118 over by OSU-OKC has NV equipment that has recently been installed.

Yup, as we said many times when New Orleans was launching, post the LTE Engineering screens and hit with Sensorly (dark purple) or it didn't happen.

 

Completely understand. The purple is really inconsistent with it being only one site active though.

 

Speaking of, I just now got the chance to get on and upload the screenshots. The first one is from NW 10th & May, second from 240 and Penn, and the third from I-40.

No those are the legacy cabinets unfortunately. The NV cabinets i've seen are 2 very wide cabinets & also a little skinny stand-alone.

Thats the tower by my house. :(

 

 

I have a new FujiFilm HS35EXR camera on the way. I'll be taking a lot of pictures soon for this thread.

That's okay there will be a day soon where those new cabinets just show up out of nowhere.

Trust me, I wish it did too. I will try and use my friend's E4GLTE to see if I can get anything on it.

 

That phone shows the Hex codes, I think the other guys have other devices but that doesn't mean you can't get the strongest signal and confirm that site code.

Thanks for the response. I wonder what panels I'm seeing up on that tower with 4 RRUs/panel? I was looking directly into the sun to see them, too, so it's possible it was a mirage ;)

Take a pic it would help out a lot. T-Mobile has been using 2 for their Lte build here,I've seen some AT&T with 2 I believe .

Wait what? T-Mobile has been using Erricson air panels with integrated RRU's I thought, is Nokia deploying here as well?

Just like Sprint, T-Mobile uses different infrastructure vendors. Some T-Mobile markets are Ericsson, while others are NSN.

I don't know if T-Mobile has any method to their madness. I've seen panels with no rru's side by side with panels that have rru's . They just want to get done fast.

NSN's use a flexi base station which is literally a giant box between all 3 sectors...

 

Here's a good pic of one from hofo...

 

I've seen them in permits and their RRUs are called TMU's for some reason.

We had a member take pictures of a T-mobile upgrade in New Orleans. You could see their 3 "RRUs" on the ground. They stack them together instead of spread out by the sectors. I will see if I can find the picture.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
