COZisBack Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Anybody watching the towers down by the fairgrounds/Crew Stadium? I haven't been down for any Crew games this season, but I'll be down for the USMNT v Mex game in a month and hope for LTE at the stadium. Used to get great Wimax coverage there. I'll try to keep you updated on the area. You can also use the Columbus Spreadsheet and Map in my signature as well for details. Today's post has been brought to you by Sprint, the letters GN and the number 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolvesfan Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 When was the last tower brought online with lte? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newatthis Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 As far as the tower behind Groveport high school, if you turn on the street and go by the Imagine school all the way in the rear tou can see the equipment through a normal fence. I just have no clue what is what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COZisBack Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 When was the last tower brought online with lte? We don't know if it's live and broadcasting a signal yet, but 7/1. It's outside of Bellville, Ohio if you want to make a trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have no clue what is what. if you want to see the stuff live and in person, go down to the rohr road site. from the middle of the street which is where I Sat if you look at the Tower you'll see the electric meters in front of you and to the right of the tower is two cabinets look almost identical. Those are the new base station. the antennas look like I don't know dreadlocks hanging off the bottom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COZisBack Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 the antennas look like I don't know dreadlocks hanging off the bottom. They do look pretty damn ridiculous. The only time it's hard to spot them is if the top RRU (usually 800) is above the rack and bottom RRU is below. Check your PMs amcferrin90.

rf40928 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 What would I look for on a diagnostic screen that would tell me if I have NV on a site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newatthis Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Rohr Rd. As of now, it's pouring so its the best I could do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amcferrin90 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Another site beginning work: old Brice @ Winchester Pike. One more sullivant @ green street by 315. When they get some actual milestones I will post pics and to the WIP thread. So, when the discussion about clusters is had, how many sites or square miles makes up a cluster? It seems deployment is filling in some gaps. Nothing turned on yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to tell how they're going to handle Columbus with clusters. The rural areas have been coming online in clusters of 3 or 4, but they're usually the only sites in the area.

james2oo4 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 So the plan today is to head up to Belleville and check to make sure this tower is live. I'll do that around 12:00. Sent from my Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4 Beta 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COZisBack Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Yes I do have it Sent from my Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4 Beta If you can multiwindow the LTE "Enginerring" screen with Sensorly Map screenshot it from each sector would be hell of a lot of help. That site is/was also a GMO site. If you can take pictures as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The public PRLs that are out there have a higher priority on 1900 than 800. So unless the bottom falls out of 1900, it won't drop to 800 as a fallback.

Can I load a one of the prls from here and test 800 some? If so, where are they located? Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EVO LTE, S3, HTC One, S4, etc all have 800SMR as scan first on the same priority level as PCS. But it is possible for your phone to become "stuck" on PCS since it is at priority level 1 and your phone has no need to scan for anything else. The Note2 has no 800SMR in the stock PRL right now due to an issue some areas reported with 800SMR. I've only found Shentel users stating they had issues but they removed it for the entire US.

It just stinks, I need 800 where I live(use airave) and drop signal getting to my house. When I was locking onto 800 a few weeks ago/month ago, I wasn't dropping those same calls.
