I do, but because there is nothing in particular that makes it stand out I didn't post it. GCI pattern is typical of normal Full build 8t8r type. Need NSG to identify these without visual confirmation.

This should help the congestion issues in the surrounding area when games are going on. And it was probably much cheaper than a DAS

Hope so, unfortunately(for cell service, great for the community) that area has had massive development with a new shopping center temp amusement park plus the stadium and bars, making it a  nightmare for wireless carriers.

Update from 8/2/18 earnings release regarding Sprint partnership with Altice:

Quote

In November 2017, Altice USA announced a multi-year strategic agreement with Sprint whereby Altice USA will utilize Sprint’s network to provide mobile voice and data services to its customers throughout the nation. In this agreement, Sprint will provide Altice USA with access to its full MVNO model, allowing Altice USA to connect its network to the Sprint Nationwide network and have control over the Altice USA mobile features, functionality, and customer experience. In addition, Altice USA maintains the flexibility to work with other network operators without having to swap customers’ SIM cards. During the second quarter, Altice USA continued developing the core network to support this infrastructure-based MVNO including upgrading and expanding its WiFi network. The connection to Sprint microsites to support Sprint’s network densification, which will benefit Altice USA’s MVNO service, is currently running well ahead of schedule. The commercial launch of a mobile service for Altice USA customers is still on track for 2019.

When Clearwire was deploying WiMax way back when, they opted to put a site on Yankee Stadium as opposed to a DAS too. I wonder what stops carriers from doing a DAS?

A lot of locations charge Sprint and other cell companies a lot for them to have a DAS, sometimes millions per year, depending on the site.

I've just started noticing 10x10+5x5 running in CA so be on the look out.

Does Sprint plan on adding any small cells to help with the congestion in DUMBO? I was with my wife there the other day and although she had LTE, she could not load any websites and iMessages was not working. She has the iPhone 7 on Sprint. I am with Verizon and data speeds were around 2mbps down and data and iMessages were working just fine. I have the iPhone 6s.

I am so tempted to switch to Sprint due to the FLASH sale going on with the IPhone X for $5/month but this has made me a little hesitant and insecure about my decision and also not having VoLTE.

I thought Sprint would have some small cells to help with congestion. Do they have small cells in that area if Brooklyn?

I've only seen one site posted with 15mhz of B41 in lower Manhattan, but every single other site has been 40mhz or more(not including SC)

Where are you seeing these sites, and can you post Engineering screens.
