Sprint LTE August 2012 Schedule Maps


Recommended Posts

We have updated the NV Sites Complete thread with more completed sites LA this past weekend. However, it will still be a long time coming before market launch occurs.

Any news on Austin? It was originally expected to launch this month and now it is listed as September. However, there are still no sites listed as complete in the Austin metro area (not considering Waco). But it seems like they are doing something as my once reliable, although sometimes slow data, has become useless a lot more often now. I am hoping that is a sign they are working on the towers.

There is no new news on Austin. If towers don't start coming live soon, I will revise my estimate to October. It is disappointing to watch this market slip.

Is the reason still due to bird nests is the towers?

I think you have to put quotes around "bird nests" for full dramatic effect. :devilangel:

A "long time" as in October? Or a "long time" as in late 2013? Should we expect that the LA roll-out will slip? At least they are making progress. With the two 4G/3G sites shown on the completed site map, it seems like we might reasonably hope to see more of those popping up soon?

I think there is a good chance that the LA market launch could still happen in October. However, I think September is out at this point.

Thanks. I think I had already mentally written September off. October is at least better than Christmas, or next September.

well i just replaced my Blackberry Bold for a Sammy Galaxy S3 in the hopes that NYC will be NV LTE live by October/November. Still have my old Epic to access WiMax until then (to be replaced by iPhone 5 presumably). Keep telling myself be patient, be patient. Hopefully all the initial "connection issues" will have been well resolved by the time NYC gets some LTE love from Sprint.

Deployment is just getting under way in the Charlotte market. I'm beginning to see NV panels and RRU's on some towers around me now. In the coming months those ' blue sites ' will start to spread out across the market !!

Awesome Photos! Excellent close-ups. It's nice to see all the detail of inside the cabinets. Hopefully soon that tower will be broadcasting Sprint LTE!

Sprint shoudl have stated that he LTE rollout in the initial 5 cities would start on July 15th. I live in SA and have more places that I am still 3G than LTE. I am constantly updating my PRL and looking for system updates and 1 our of 10 times I switch into 4g, by my home and office which are both well within the coverage area!

 

Thanks so much for this site as it is much better info that what Sprint has been providing! My NEXUS could be outdated before I even get lte....

Updating your PRL will not affect LTE connections. LTE does not run off a PRL, but rather the internal SIM card. The only thing updating your PRL will do relative to LTE is after you complete a PRL update, it will scan for a LTE connection. But you could also get it to do that by cycling through CDMA only and CDMA/LTE network settings.

Admin, can you do an up to date coverage map for Fort Worth, Texas? Zip code 76123

 

We are limited to do coverage maps for only up to 30 sites in one map. And they are a lot of work and time consuming. But I will add Fort Worth to the To Do List. It may take some time before it gets posted.

    • T-Mobile Fires Back At AT&T After Their Statements On T-Priority
    • 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.
