Network Vision/LTE - Orlando Market

[boomerbubba]

I was just driving in Rockledge and noticed that I was on 4G. Oddly, the tower is about 4 blocks west of my house, but I cannot get 4G (I can see the tower from my backyard). I actually lost the signal after driving one block east of the tower. However, I drove about 1 mile south and did have 4G the entire time. I lost it when my phone grabbed the signal from the next tower to the south.

 

The map shows the route that I was driving.

 

What makes you sure there is a Sprint tower where you think it is? Even if you knew that, how do you know which tower was providing a 4G signal?

 

The first thing you should do is become an S4GRU sponsor to gain access to the actual Sprint tower maps. Then go looking for the actual site hosting the LTE signal. It may be further away than you think.

I'm starting to think Florida members are the most dedicated to the madness lol

Hmmm...you are welcome to do what you would like with the information that I shared.

I'm just trying to help. A common error among new users around here is to assume mistakenly that they know where their connections -- especially 4G connections -- are coming from. If you don't want help, go your own way in peace.

I do find it interesting which areas have the most active members.

Well FL is one of those 95%+ covered states after NV completion(mostly except for everglades).. Makes sense

Honestly, I don't care where the tower is he picked up at. Just map it on sensorly so we can get a look at where the area is. Other than that welcome new members until they can get thier feet wet, then we can attack them

A giant update just happened on sensorly for cocoa.

I didn't "attack" anyone. I just tried to educate a new member. And whether you care about where the tower is or not, he obviously does.

Obviously, you did not perceive it that way. However, it did come off as less of an education and more of an attack. Anyway, the point was that LTE is active in this area...regardless of where the tower is. All I was trying to do was share that information here, where I thought that it would be appreciated.

No harm no foul..good to have you onboard..Did you get a chance to run sensorly? If you don't have it make sure you get it from the Market, see a signal? run the app.

Just downloaded it. I will try it this evening. Thanks.

Dude rode from from one coast to another for freaking LTE.. On a motorcycle.. #teamflorida

I just drove around and I couldn't find the LTE signal again.

[Feech]

The could have been testing when you passed the first time..Make sure you flip your phone into airplane mode and then back to LTE just in case when you are searching

That was me. Great day for a motorcycle ride. Here are pics from that site, which can be seen at http://bit.ly/Up94sm.

The closest location to the tower is not off Clearlake Road, but right smack dab in a mobile home park, that appears to have been around for some time (and that's all I will say about that). Seeing the RRUs on this one helped me to get a good idea on what to look for and maybe some differences from what AT&T is doing as they appear to be doing a lot of work in the Tampa area as I see their crews quite a bit.

 

It is worth noting that on my drive back to the Tampa area that I saw work on a tower, about 3 miles east of exit 44 on I-4 (mapped here at http://bit.ly/YfBpGG Hoping its Sprint as the other arrays already appeared to be loaded down and upgraded by other carriers. There was a guy sitting on the array with the least amount antennas on it like it was a chair working. I wanted to go over but couldn't see a place I could get close. Maybe next time I make an I-4 run it would have some activity...

What a great ride it was. I can't remember the weather being so perfect for a ride. Lack of sunscreen on the face though is noticable

Thanks man good stuff today on Sensorly. I kinda figured that area would be lit up with goodness glad you rode

Now I've got to find something in Tampa!

[UCFKnight]

I'll be wardriving through downtown orlando when I get out of the office.

[UCFKnight]

Well, no LTE coverage discovered in the Orlando or East Orange County area yet, but there were a number of 2G and 3G points newly discovered.

I just went out for a quick drive around the area and did find LTE. It's mapped on Sensorly. I will drive around some more tomorrow to see where the signal ends in all directions.

So far I haven't been able to get the photos up but here is the video I made yesterday.
