One more question and then I am done' date=' I swear! When these towers are being upgraded does network performance go down? On all of these eHRPD towers I used to get pings in the low one hundreds and even lower. Now I am getting pings in the 400's and 500's and speeds more similar to 1x than Evdo.[/quote']

 

I have written an extensive explanation about the difference between EVDO and eHRPD performance here: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/1084-chicago-land-nvlte-deployment/page__st__1100__p__49598#entry49598

First off. You need to read up a bit more before you start complaining about speeds.Sprints 5x5 has a maximum theoretical output of 37.5mbps DL and ~ 14 mbps UL. The theoretical maximum is the absolut

So I see all these updates where people know what kind of network they are connected to with sprint and additional data. Is this only available for android or for iPhones as well?

 

I'm waiting patiently for LTE rollout in manhattan to make the best use of my iPhone 5.

OOKLA's Speedtest.net app can @ least show you what network you are connected to under the results tab, just click on the test result you want see your connection information, including network type, IP address, exact coordinates etc..

Anyone have a screenshot of the completed sites in West chester? I'd really like to see what towers are close to me, maybe even drive out if I get bored enough to put in some sensorly data.

Does anyone know if the improved 3G will roll out around the same time as LTE?

 

If my 4S starts seeing speeds above 1Mbps I'll be a happy camper.

 

3G improvements go live immediately when each site is completed. There have been lots of reports of 1.5-2.5Mbps speeds at the sites that have been converted.

This is all great news. I'm hopeful that the will be more reports of live LTE in NYC before the month is up. I could be totally wrong, but perhaps there are more LTE towers that exist in the NYC market that Sprint didn't list as complete. Without going to any details, I didn't see many LTE towers listed in NYC, but I'm hopeful that there are more than I know of, or more to be listed very soon.

      Are you sure that's Direct to Cell? That sounds like the 911 center was offline and they got brought back online via a Starlink uplink. Which also makes way more sense than Direct to Cell for that area.

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      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.
