It by no means is my site, but I want to say thank you for helping keep the site running. Robert (S4GRU) will probably have you updated within an hour or so.

For those interested, the construction meeting went well. Bids are still being accepted from GCs at the moment, but they want to start soon, very soon.

Alright folks. Now that 2014 is here, we should see completion of LTE 1900 in the coming months with a robust 3G/1x800 network as well as see LTE800 start to light up towards the middle-to-end of the

Today in Carroll, the Columbus Lancaster Road tower, there was a crew running fiber. I asked and that's what he said. :-) I also got over 2 Meg download speed on one test but I couldn't get it again. Not sure if it was legit.

2mb may just have been a time when volume on that site was at a low point. You can get 2 down on a Legacy site easily if they're aren't a ton of people hammering on it.

The Roar Rd tower in Groveport is now live with 1900. Didn't have time to grab any info though. Pretty awesone to be in Baltimore yesterday & Groveport today and just happen to notice the icon on my device.

Yep, we've already started mapping on the Sponsor side.

 

We have the info on it so save your gas.

So random question.... I know the current 3G seems to top out around 2.5 mbits.  What kind of speeds should we expect on the upgraded 3G?  Or would it be roughly the same, but just have larger capacity?

2.5 Mbps is still the max speed for 3G, however, as you noted the capacity will be larger for each site. The other advantage is slightly greater coverage due to NV panels.  Also, most legacy sites struggle either due to aging equipment or old T1 lines.  So, we should receive MUCH more consistent speeds and latency.  Latency which of course has a HUGE impact on quality of service.

I love when someone knows what the hell they're talking about.

There is a crew up on the Americana Parkway tower off Tussing for at least the 5th time in 2 weeks.

That tower is over due big time!  That area is known for awesome cell service / reception and just HORRIBLE data coverage.  I can't wait for LTE in that area.

I'm spacing right now, where is that tower?

Trespassing!!! Actually surprised I didn't pick up on it when I was down this morning. Must be a weak one.

 

On the weak note, they've bumped some juice into the Basil Western/Diley Rd site, had -42 dBm on that stupid narrow beamwidth antenna they put up there that nicely excludes my neighborhood. When it goes, it's gone. Went from -42 to -87 in one refresh. Feeling like I got Imex Syndrome. lol

Music talk.! They release singles before giving us the whole album. BTW ...I drove out to Rohr rd last night. It's dark dangerous and mostly industry. I'm thinking to myself this area doesn't have Digital cable yet so why would Sprint push LTE in it before downtown and my side of town? Weird

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
