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.

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.

      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.

      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.
