Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

Nope. It's not expected until spring / summer.

Keep an eye out for other earfcns.

So that being the case, could they use both those seperate EARFCNs do to CA? Or would they have to delay CA if 41276 were being deployed first. Considering they are non contiguous.

They'll need to do non contiguous intraband carrier aggregation. It's LTE release 11 iirc. Intraband contiguous CA #+# is lte release 10. 20+20+20 contiguous CA is release 12.

 

Not exactly sure if the D1 and D2 equipment have the software updates need for now contiguous CA yet.

Are there any Rel 11 devices on Sprint currently? I think the Snapdragon 810 is Rel 10 correct?

Just checked Staten Island EBS holdings.

 

Sprint is indeed licensed the EBS holdings from 2673.5-2690 MHz so 20+20+20 can be done with that EARFCN they selected.

Today is a good day! Good find Payturr!

 

Where would we be without you Tim!?

 

Going 2nd carrier hunting tomorrow, doesn't hurt gas is sitting at sub $2 for premium.

Looking at FCC ULS and Dashboard... 

[payturr]

Found the second carrier running on what I'm very sure is an old WiMAX set up!

It'd be a lie for me to say I didn't stare at the engineering screen everywhere I went today to hopefully not see 39991.  No luck in East Harlem, anywhere above ground on the 6, or the Cross Bronx between the Sheridan and 3rd Ave.  

 

Interestingly, when the 6 went underground near Whitlock, my engineering screen said I connected to band 4, then 12, then went dead until pulling into Hunts Point Ave.

Most likely what you saw was your phone scanning those bands, not actually connected. I see 2,4,5,12,25,26,41 all in a row when my G4 is scanning for an LTE signal.

Looks like my local B41 towers are down. Hopefully some kind of surprise coming.

[jaybiz81]

Second carrier in the Bronx near West Farms Square!  Didn't run a SpeedTest.  EARFCN 41276.  Trying to get a screenshot posted.

A fairly new Sprint B41 tower was down on my way home from work yesterday in Queens. Even B25 and B26 was down.

[transitwatch889]

I've personally noticed slightly higher speeds one my home tower recently not sure if that is due to a back haul upgrade. Then after awhile it goes back to the median speeds from before. So it could be better load balancing and well. Nice to see the results of some work being done either way.

Where?

Huguenot train station in Staten Island. Same UARFCN as the site by my house. I spend my days in Manhattan on 23rd street by Lexington, still haven't found anything.

Interesting, you didn't pick up 39991 at all right?

Correct, goes straight to 41276. The second carrier isn't live everywhere though, like the Staten Island ferry (at least last I checked)

It's EARFCN. UARFCN is for WCDMA and Apple doesn't care about the abandonware that is Field Test.

Fixed... used Google Drive and it showed for me since I was logged in... switched to DropBox instead.

I'm new at this. If it's 41276 what does it mean? I've been picking up 41276 all down the 4 train in the Bronx

Means second carrier Band 41 LTE is live and spreading. More capacity and more speed...

[nexgencpu]

Surprise surprise! Im on 41276 as well!!! Looks like the Bronx got a bunch of these turned on.

 

Signal check pro still identifying it as first carrier, don't know if its even in its database..

[transitwatch889]

Yes! Finally.... More capacity!

[jaybiz81]

3rd Ave and Cross Bronx area on 41276 as well.
