i can't tell, but I mapped it and listed the nearest tower.

(The red is the nearest Sprint tower), the blue is where the new tower is located. I'm REALLY close to this tower which makes me very happy, if it's Sprint.

 

I helped a friend move today and this morning on the way to her new house, I saw this tower being built!

Anyone know if this is a Sprint tower being constructed or if there's a way to tell who's tower it really is? There's a 25% chance it's a Sprint tower, but AT&T and Verizon have really good coverage around it, so I'm assuming it's either T-Mobile or Sprint.

 

EDIT: I called Sprint and they told me they have nothing in their systems. Bummer. They did mention that it's possible that their system hasn't been updated to reflect that information. We'll see. I'll keep taking pictures as much as I can and see once they put up the panels which carrier it is.

Check the network.sprint.com site, they have new towers on there

Well, they never had it in the upcoming upgrades, but they did have it in the past 6 months upgrades. I do have a new tower in the area, but it's north about 20 miles.

Looks like the tower is right behind a fire station. Could that be some communications tower for the fire department possibly?

That's I think is a Crown tower. I would say that a carrier is going on it likely not com for the station.beefy things

      Mapped two n41 small cell sin Jersey City today. They're the first two to be mapped there in Jersey City as far as I can tell and interestingly they're consecutive gNBs, possibly indicating they were installed around the same time. gNB 1088335 appears to be an upgrade of an older small cell. It looks identical to the T-Mobile n41 small cell I mapped earlier this year in Old Westbury.   I also mapped gNB 1088334 in Newport. This small cell appears to be a new build as I couldn't find any evidence of an older small cell in that area. Unfortunately no pic of it since I didn't even notice that I mapped it until I got home and I can't find it in Streetview.

      Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.

      Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.

      No? RCS on Google messages works great for me, messages between anyone with RCS enabled go through with no problems. Don't remember the last time I had an issue. I only have issues with people on iPhones on different carriers from T-Mobile.

      Has anyone experienced a ridiculous amount of difficulty with Google messages with RCS enabled?  It has been a train wreck for me for the past year so I now use WhatsApp.  That works very well for all of us.... Android and iOS.
