I can dig around and find some. Someone just posted some good ones but I can't remember which thread I was in.

 

Are all of the panels in your area the little short and fat ones? Compared to the ones used in Texas?

I'm curious as well since I believe the length of the panel is dependent on the type of signal, so all NV panels should be of similar length since they are all designed for 1900/800. I'm not sure how the short ones would work... ? Unless they are actually longer than they appear.

For the most part they are the long NV panels that support both 1900/800. At first thought, I thought it might of been the angle but taking a double look at it now and seeing that 800 MHz isn't even wired up... this site must have not been planned for 800 MHz since they put up the short fat panels.

 

I should get back to this site and check it out again. Looking at the other sectors, the panels look a bit longer.... so I'm wondering if for some reason they decided to do this 1 specific sector without 800 support.

In all my digging around the interwebs I did find them using a slightly different panel is some places but reviewing the specs had it about the same size. That one just looks odd. Figured all sites would have 800 support but maybe it is very close to another site.

The one looks a lot like what ATT or T-mobile just installed one on my towers. Weird, I thought all Ericsson would use the same. There's like 4 different antennas up there and all the NV should have 6 ports right?

Don't know how useful this is but I went by my town water tower today and snapped a shot of what I'm 95% sure is the Sprint (NV) site by my house. Someone on here can probably elaborate quite a bit on what you see here.

do you have the lat long or street address? We can verify it using the interactive map.

That is indeed the Sprint site. Just looked at the interactive maps again and the dot lands right on that water tower.

Sorry for the horrible picture (iphone fully zoomed in) but this is a tower that isn't marked as getting NV, but it has the horizontal boxes on each of the antennas. Does this look like a NV tower? This is a chicagoland tower, so Samsung equipment.

How much throughput is wireless backhaul capable of having?

 

Microwave backhaul is variable, but can support up to 1Gbps in some instances. Depending on bandwidth size, distance travel, hardware used. I think there are even 3Gbps deployments now. However, if it is connected to 100Mbps AAV on the supply end, then it will be limited to 100Mbps speeds. There are so many variables, there is no way to really answer your question.

I saw that with the latest updated this tower went from not even scheduled for NV to 4g!

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
