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

Seen the climbers on the tower on morse and sunbury roads look like they were messing with the bottom tier of panels

 

They're finishing up running the Optiflex cable. That side of town (this side for me) is wrapping out work. It honestly may not be long until they're fired up.

 

Also seen Ericsson at that site 270 and Westerville

 

Single truck or a few?

Single truck

 

Unless they had a trailer, they must have been there for another carrier. We're still awaiting for Network Vision equipment to show up there.

Definitely a different carrier. Maybe Nextel or Revol.

Honestly Sensorly isn't important yet. Figuring out what sites are done are the most important.

There's quite a few sites in Columbus that need completed. I believe in January the number was around 75. Without going and counting on the map the number could be less than 50. We would hope a lot less than that. We know where some crews are working only because of spotters. There is TON of information in this thread let alone other threads showing what to look for. It doesn't take much time to check some sites out for work. I used to keep track of most south and southeast Columbus to Canal Winchester and I could spend an hour a week driving through those areas. 

 

I think the area we get the least information on is Campus and then along the median of the city along High and 71 up to 161.

Even $1 will make you a sponsor. But I advice you to donate more :)

I believe $5 is the minimum you can donate now. The fees from paypal ate up the $1 donation. 5 smackeros isn't a bad deal for the information you gain.

You could have seen the startup of a new LTE tower.  Next time get the Field test < Serving Cell Info screen using a font that fully displays the Cell Identity and post a screen shot here.  We can tell you if it is a new site.

 

Columbus is not launched yet.  We all are impatient at times, but Sprint has launched a large number of new sites LTE recently and work continues on many more.  Several more months before it is mostly complete (laggards take longer - permit issues, ISP backhaul delays, etc).

I think you're probably having issues because your phone is trying to connect to some LTE on Main St, but it's a weak signal so until it latches onto the closer tower on Lancaster, you could have issues. Basically, that area is a wasteland right now for dropped calls because it's in between NV launched areas. And that's my home area too.

      Network Vision/LTE - Long Island Market

      Just mapped at least 8 5G small cells (all 109xxxx gNBs) while driving on the Southern State. They all seem to be n25/n41. I'm pretty sure nearly all of them are upgrades of existing small cells as opposed to new builds but I'm glad to see Crown Castle/T-Mobile hard at work getting midband 5G on all of these. Each of the unpinned gNBs belong to 1-2 small cells. I still can't pin these sites until the Cellmapper devs give us the option to split cells for 5G sites.

      Their offers have been crap recently, so this is just more evidence to not buy from T-Mobile.

      T-Mobile Will Soon Prevent Early Payoff Of Phones Receiving Bill Credits If you finance a phone with T-Mobile it will remain locked until paid off but now you won't be able to pay off early. If you don't currently purchase your phones from the manufacturer here is another reason it might be a good idea.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      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.  — — — — —  Old permit for this new install expired but a new one was recently issued. It's gonna be similar to the site at 360 Forman St in Brooklyn Heights. Permit calls for only 3 antennas to be installed so I'm assuming it gonna be Band 2/41/66 and n25/41 only which is a bit of a downgrade from the now decommissioned full build that was on 871 7th Ave but in it's current state the nearest macro is a few blocks away and a small cell at Broadway and 55th is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the area so anything helps.
