Network Vision/LTE - Miami/West Palm Market


Mondays In Flames

Recommended Posts

Are you sure those are Sprint sites? I don't see anything that looks like NV equipment on there.

 

They look like they could be to me. Center panels looks like it could be NV before RRU install. You can see they are not even complete with cabling, yet.

Absolutely positive, verified by the company that installed em. As Robert stated, those pics are pre rru. Will go by today to see if the generator and rru's are installed.

funny that most of the new NV sites are being feed by FPL's FiberNet division. I've seen a lot of new FPL FiberNet markers being installed into new cell sites... If you look at FPL FiberNet's network map http://www.fplfibernet.com/networks/contents/florida.shtml?city=miami, you can see fiber being delivered to cell sites around Miami-Dade & Broward Counties...

I love Buca di Beppo. I recommend the Chicken Glorioso. We order our meals family style there and we pass them around the table. Good stuff.

 

I call it Boppity di Boopity. Drives my kids nuts.

Probably not. I think Bucca di Beppo lines their buildings in lead. I can't get good signals in the ones I've been to. Also, I don't think anyone has confirmed connection to the Wellington site, yet. If you do get something, let us know.

will my gs3 automatically connect to 4g lte or am i going to have to toggle airplane mode when i ride up to wellington

 

It may connect on its own. But you may need to cycle airplane mode if it doesn't.

Since the OEM is currently installing 4g service only, generally how long it's going to take to go back and activate the new 3G service on all of the NV sites? 3G service in Miami-Dade during peek hours is bad. 70% of the time my phone switches from 3G to 1X

The 4g will help offload customers and should work well for you as well.

Ericsson is just now starting to go back and pick up 3G upgrades in markets they are actively installing in.

Just mapped some Sensorly for Sunset Strip -> Sunrise Blvd > North University Drive. Expansion has finally made it out in West Broward County. That in progress tower is live just like most of the others reported.

What does upgrading 3g do? I thought when they upgrade lte, EvDo's back haul is already upgraded?

When you see 4G accepted at an Ericsson site, but not 3G, it usually means the Ethernet conversion box was not installed. Ericsson had problems sourcing these boxes. They only really started moving on 3G deployment about six weeks ago or so.

 

So when this happens the NV panels are only broadcasting LTE. And only the LTE is connected to the new backhaul. The 3G work is physically complete except for these conversion boxes. But in this instance, the 3G continues to run on legacy panels and on legacy backhaul. In most instances they cannot hook up legacy 3G to new backhaul. They cannot hook up 3G to new backhaul until all the 3G improvements are complete.

 

In an instance where only 3G is accepted as complete, it usually is connected to new backhaul unless the backhaul is not ready.

For some reason the towers around 67th avenue and 8 st and 87th avenue and 24 st in Miami stopped broadcasting lte today. Either that or my phone's radio is not working properly. Anyone else around the area having the same problem? It had been flawless for about 2 months.

I noticed the same thing at the tower in Miami Gardens on 183rd and 47th Ave. No 4G since yesterday.

 

EDIT: Seems to be back now. But neither my phone nor my wife's got 4G from that tower at all yesterday.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
