So recently I saw the topic of August 2012 Deployment, and South Florida is included in the post. I also recently received a notification from Sprint on Sprint Zone announcing a newer better network.

 

Unfortunately, I haven't really seen much of an improvement on service, including Ping on the network, and data speeds. I haven't even been able to see information online, so my question is this: How soon should I be expecting an LTE signal in South Florida?

 

P.S. I've been around the areas that have always had better coverage and speeds, but they have actually been pretty slow lately.... What could that mean?

Well things have certainly gotten a lot better in Weston. One of the formerly trouble spots is now a full build that's rocking and rolling. Still one more tower to check, but everything else is top

Note that deployment is only in the very initial stages in the Miami market. I don't think they will meet the aggressive schedule that we posted for the month of August. However, I do think there will be some LTE sites that will complete this month in the Miami market. However, if Miami is like other Sprint markets, the LTE may not be permanently live until the market is formally launched. We won't know for certain until some sites start completing later this month.

For whatever it's worth, a friend of mine (really, not a friend of a friend's cousin) is a tower tech that works for Ericsson. He said within two weeks they'd be deploying one or starting on a site in the area. I wish I could remember what parts of Miami he's in charge of, but good to know it's a work in progress.

 

I'm hoping once it's up my Evo LTE won't have any issues connecting to it. What ever happened to that reception article Robert? Inquiring minds want to know :)

Sprint and HTC ended up putting out an OTA that fixed the issue. It will now stay connected to LTE. However, there are still some issues with getting a signal organically. Most EVO LTE users have to force their devices to look for a LTE signal when within range. Hopefully that issue will be resolved soon. We are not actually planning to write article on the issue beyond what we already have.

Oh that must have been the last OTA that came out. Weren't you planning on writing an article comparing the reception between the Evo LTE, Galaxy S3, Photon, Viper, and a few others?

Oh! That article! I still have more testing to do. I may get the first installment of the article, covering 1x/EVDO next week. The LTE radio performance article will not be until September.

Ok cool! I look forward to seeing your findings (and hopefully good news for my Evo :-)) Why are you waiting for September for the LTE article? Waiting for the network to get the initial kinks outs?

Robert has yet to feel the cool breeze of Sprint LTE. He lives in a market that will see Network Vision about the same time that the Dolphins win the Super Bowl.

As AJ points out above, I have to travel to get to LTE coverage.

I have now spotted on two seperate occations Ericsson trucks, one in Ocala fl and the other in traffic in Lakeland Fl this month!!! I have so wanted to chase them down and get info on the development of the network so far in the Tampa and Jacksonville markets.

I wish I could actually find the Towers lmao. Maybe i'm not looking hard enough!

 

Regardless, I have seen some speed improvements in my home area.

Most of the Ericsson trucks that you are going to see are Network Opps (the guys who maintain the network) and they are as clueless as us on when the deployments are going to be done. They generally don't find out until the build on a site is almost complete.

Man I can't wait for at least enhanced backhaul on 3G? Will this be coming to South Florida soon? I can deal without LTE but give me at least faster 3G then? I can't wait for LTE all over South Florida. Verizon only has LTE on the coast and cities like Coral Springs, Tamarac, Davie, Weston, Sunrise are all without LTE from Verizon. And they only just expanded the LTE to go further in from the coast a few months ago. Before that you could only get LTE about from the coast to three to four miles in. Verizon LTE isn't everything everyone cracks it up to be!

Any new reports, miami, ft. lauderdale, I'm going to be in that area End of Month, driving between Miami and Orlando, might do some testing at stops.

 

Florida's Turnpike has some of the best speeds I've captured on sprint. 2 down, 1.5 up for burst. 1.5 down, 0.75 up on average.

That's true. When I'm driving down the Turnpike I am able to watch YouTube videos with no problem lol.

      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.
