They are about 50 lbs a piece give or take. They pull up a line from the winch truck. Run it through the pulley from the rack above or mount a gin pole with a pulley if they are on the top rack. All cake from there...

Heh heh... "winch"...

 

Sorry, I just had a 10 year old moment there.... LOL

2 serving cells in Polaris area. 305 and 405. 405 is strong -82 in mall parking lot

These seems to be two different sites.

5 bars LTE on Polaris pkwy. Inside skyline at rt 71. Strongest LTE signal I've ever seen up here. Usually only 1 or 2 bars.

You've got rewarded with confirming this site.

Screenshots from Upper Sandusky Towers

Can you post the site ID over in the sponsored area. It will help me with updating the list which I'm currently in the process of doing.

I can't map $#!+ but can offer this...

 

With an iPhone, you can knock out a lot of what we need. If you can grab the Cell Identity and Physical Cell ID that's a huge help. Then we can confirm a site being active and one of the Android peeps know where the site is and we can go out and map it. Consider yourself a supervisor that tells us where the work is.  :lol:  That's the only credit or praise I'm ever giving to an iPhone.

Anyone going to be on Polaris Parkway around the mall today, we could use some additional mapping, we need to overwrite the weak LTE with the new strong LTE.

I'll swing around the area today....

I'll swing by that way between offices later today and do some as well!

Just a heads up if you all haven't seen it, there are two live sites up that way, about 3 miles apart.

Supervisor. That's how I roll.

Noticed some purp along 71 between 161 and 270, also along 270 near Cleveland Ave and Westerville Rd. Seems like odd places to get LTE with trees all around those areas. Maybe the site on Schrock west of Cleveland Ave is live?

that was from me - I didn't get a chance to get an engineering screen...

Is the Marcy Road site turned on now?  There is purple around that site.  I don't think the Cedar Hill Road site would reach that far.

That's Cedar Hill/Alspach Rd. I mapped it the other day. I had limited time and wanted to see what the range was. It goes from the town of Cedar Hill (maybe farther) to the south up past Meijer on Diley to the north. I intentionally drove past the Marcy Rd site hoping if it was live that I would jump from LTE to LTE; it did not. That site has fiber now, saw the orange flags run along the homeowner's driveway.

 

I've found that restarting my phone in an LTE area will get me on LTE faster than anything else. There are many days I spend 20 minutes near the Brice Rd LTE site in traffic and never connect.

Jeez.. 20 minutes. Airplane forces the rescan just like a reboot. That's weird.

tried it. wonky crap I tell ya. Now there is the BSR timers that factors in too. Does airplane mode restart that? I think not, definitely airplane toggle does not affect 3G/800 scan either, from experience. Maybe it does. I dunno always whatever it wants when it wants. I will be at home, sometimes on airave, sometimes on 3G/800 for hours. Seemingly nothing will change that. I give up. Its a bad dream.

Airplane or reboots does not force a PRL rescan due to the acquisition optimization in the CDMA chipset.  Since it was at the highest priority before the reboot or airplane mode it checks that first before going to the PRL for the rules.  Airplane mode will force a LTE scan as that's been known since the first LTE sites came online with Sprint.  That's how the LTE Discovery app was born (love that app for hunting!)

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
