I believe I did that, but I'll re-install it and give it a go. Can you do me a favor and get me a zoomed screenshot of the completed towers in the Rye / Port Chester area (no, I'm not a sponsor, sorry)? I can't stop in the middle of the highway, and I'm not exactly sure where that was as I was on my way home.

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

I'm sorry. I cannot do that. Our other Sponsors would not appreciate that.

Sprint is moving very slow. This is very frustrating. In certain areas in the Bronx you have LTE in other area you don't. What's the hold up.? Smh

 

Sprint is not actually doing the work. They hired AlcatelLucent, who then has hired sub-contractors to do the actual work. There are many reasons that work could have started late in your market, and I know it's going slow, but with time and patient, you will see results soon. AlcatelLucent has been further behind in Network Vision work in general as well.

The holdup is that they are working on over 100 other cities at the same time so it's gonna take some time, especially with the number of sites there are in New York.

What customer service tells you may not be true. Some reps tell you something they just made up. Sprint told me that WiMax would come to my small town just outside of Las Vegas, and it never did. What you find on this site and even now on Sensorly is more accurate than what you could ever get out of Sprint customer service.

network.sprint.com was put in place to show customers the upgrades they are doing to help the legacy network function until Network Vision would be complete. Whether they use it for Network Vision later down the road or not, no one knows yet, is up to them. However, it has a 12 month rolling window of time, past 6 months and next 6 months, so there are some things that appear to never leave the list.

There is no hold up. Work has has occurred at over one hundred sites in the the boroughs and Westchester. Things are progressing nicely. The one live site in the Bronx is probably because of a site left on by a tech after testing. Not because it is the only site converted in the metro.

 

You will see more and more testing signals in the next week or two pop up all over the place. Some may be temporary and go away. Some may stay on permanently. However, it will not be too long before Sprint prelaunches portions of the market or maybe even most of it.

 

Prelaunch will not provide 100% coverage, but it will allow customers to connect to all the completed LTE sites to date.

I was up their today it would show LTE on my iphone with 2 bars of signal but then go back to 3G it wouldn't stay on LTE

it was consistent on my galaxy. I stayed on Hoe ave for 30 mins testing LTE. My speeds wasn't as fast as Bruke Ave. I got 10 down and 3 up. It was consistent. Edited by Aprilgrl920

I went to Hoe avenue today to test LTE and it was very spotty. I was excited to see the 4g icon, but I couldn't even finish a speed test. It would start at LTE and finish the speed test in 3G. It's not ready for prime time, but hopefully it's a sign of what's to come.

 

 

For reference: I'm on a Galaxy S3 running JellyBomb 4.3 Jellybean leak.

      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

      By RedSpark · Posted

      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.
