Yes, dean and curry ford has been done as well as the Christmas tower and the Daytona tower. I wonder if they will all go on at the same time. They all are reportedly completed but not active. Ive seen the tower on curry ford and goldenrod and it has a birds nest on top so that tower has no chance of being upgraded anytime soon.

I'm not sure whats the hold up with the tower in Daytona being offline, I looked and found tons of permits pulled for other towers in the area under the same contractor ' Westower Communications inc' ...

[Cyclonut]

Just pulled this in Altamonte between the Wal-Mart and Costco stores.

Wait, so the tower on Dean and Curry Ford is done but has birds nests on it? Would that still stop them from activating it?

Is Sprint building a new tower in Port Orange, FL (Daytona Beach area)?

 

Today as I was driving home from work I noticed that a new cell tower was being constructed. Now I'm wondering if the tower is going to be a Sprint tower. I did some research online and this is what I found. Hopefully you guys can help me figure out who's building this new monopole tower.

 

Found permits today for that location, Address is 1601 Madeline Ave, Port Orange, FL not 4015 S. Williamson blvd..

Looks to be strictly AT&T / New Cingular Wireless. Ill keep an eye out to see if a tenant gets added; But I believe this is just a mirror of the tower that's further south toward Taylor / Williamson.

[supersanborn]

I was driving down the south end of the 429 near 192 and picked up some LTE for the first time ever, but I don't know if there's any new towers other than the one on WDW and the one out in Lake County.

Are you sure the Madeline address is the new tower that was just built out by Town Park. When I mapped the address I was sent to the intersection of Madeline & Nova. I'm pretty sure the tower by Town Park is located at 4015 S. Williamson Ave.

[Mysteriousjustin]

The port orange inspection photos on the fcc page shows that madeline address. I'll double check when I can.

Okay great! Also please link the page containing the inspection photos.

Picked up some more LTE on Aloma ave a little bit ago, speedtest was less than 500kbps (which was kinda funny considering that's how slow sprints 3G has been). Had to toggle airplane mode about three times before it came on.

No. The dean and curry ford tower does not have a birds nest. Goldenrod and curry ford has the birds nest.

[Mysteriousjustin]

If NV equip is present, birds shouldn't affect much other than maybe problems with the newly installed hardware. Other than that its just software I believe..

[leodalion7]

Can some one map that 436 and west lake Brantley is 3 bars

[digink]

No. The dean and curry ford tower does not have a birds nest. Goldenrod and curry ford has the birds nest.

 

Oh ok, so the Dean and Curry Ford is done just hasn't been turned on yet.

 

Boy that tower is HUGE, I think it'd have a lot of coverage once on. It'd pretty much fill the gap between the Avalon tower for UCF/Vista Lakes area... can't wait.

[samer21]

Yeah that tower will be under serious use. More so than the Avalon tower. Will be interesting seeing what the speeds will fall too under heavy use.

[Amr1014]

By the speed of things Orlando should be mostly lte by summer...maybe

[missourimatt]

looks like a new LTE upgrade to the tower on 436 by forest lake, lets get some Sensorly on it

[leodalion7]

I'm getting 3 sometimes 4 by 436 and forest city so they working on the antenna behind Walgreens and Fla

Just upgraded from a Photon 4G to the Galaxy S3. I have decent LTE inside my apartment on UCF campus, but it isnt as good as the Wimax signal I had with the Photon. Speeds are about the same as wimax, however I have gotten up to 12mbps on wimax. Hoping sprint fires up LTE on the cell tower outside my wkmdow where they have a 3g and wimax antenna. Will keep you guys updated!

It's pretty impressive that you can get the same performance out of a weaker distant LTE signal than a close by and strong WiMax. It will likely get even better when a closer site goes live.

Have a feeling another tower in Sanford went live. I walked outside and had really good 4G, usually only 1 bar, or 4 bars 3g (depending on tower I connect too) but had full LTE bars and got a 25mbs down speed test. going to try and go to tower site I believe it is and look (by Seminole Courthouse on 17-92 in Sanford)

Are you able to map your Lte experience using Sensorly? Also, I believe the tower located behind the VW lot on 17-92 is utilized by Sprint. Nextel and T-mobile use the other nearby tower located on the north/east side of the Flea Market property. I was hoping Sprint might use that one for Lte service.

[kmshadoze]

Whenever I map for some reason, it won't show up. I have a feeling it nay be the new ROM im using (The Peoples ROM) for some reason won't let me, or my phones being weird. On "map trip" ill map 400+ 4G spots, but they never seem to show up.

[atem2144]

LTE has gone live in parts of St. Cloud, Harmony, and Holopaw. I mapped some of the areas on Sensorly in the Harmony/Holopaw area a few weeks ago. I will map St.Cloud tomorrow. I live off Narcoosee Rd. in St.Cloud and have great LTE signal as of a few days ago.
