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

There is a new tower going up on the grounds of Hartley High School. Livingston and James Rd. Could it be Sprint?

I think all Sprint has been talking about is Pico cells. Verizon has been putting Pico cells up all over Columbus. Sprint would do themselves well to build out full NV sites where Clear sites are and Sprint already isn't coexisting. Unfortunately I don't think they're too worried about voice, not nearly as much as they are data. They should just sell off their voice service to another carrier, become just a broadband service and call it a day.

Sprint still has lots that they need to do.  Upgrade of GMOs certainly needs to be on this list (unless they are in very remote places).  More sites and bumping sites to high capacity around the edges of growing cities since they have not really expanded in ten years (especially where they currently have narrow beam antennas).  More sites along new freeways.  Decisions on what to do with various roaming agreements.

 

To say that they don't care about voice belies their dramatic improvement in dropped call rates.  Much of this improvement has been credited to 1x800, which the northern half of our metro does not have given their buffer zone.  Eventually voice and data will totally merge.

an article I just read said Sprint was deploying Small Cells in 2014. It's a 2014 article but I was wondering if the deployment had started?

I was riding down Jackson Pike on the south side and saw workers on top of the Sprint tower across from the correctional facility. It looked like they were installing panels but I thought that tower was done. 8d88ca52a234be4e0851f39e0c813483.jpg

Not valid at all.... Seems like it got confused.

 

Ok I thought so cause when I saw it I thought there's no way b25 is on 20 when it was a 5x5.

For the cell identity to display correctly, it needs to be set to bold.

Knowing his location and the PCI it should have been the site at Livingston and 256. This is based on the map information being correct. To backwards verify I took the physical site ID from that site in the map and converted sector 0 to decimal and got 140535296. There's enough digits to verify that. It does look like his phone was in transition between bands though.

Has there been anything done with the decommissioned iDen sites or in the works in Columbus due to network expansion announced?

The old Nextel equipment has been pretty well removed. I'll lean on completely removed as I believe that was a pre-req for the FCC sign-off of rebanding. Any new Sprint sites whether at an existing Nextel site or otherwise would have to be permitted. I haven't read of any new permits unless our crack permit searching team is taking a nap. Verizon has been deploying small cells all over town. It would not surprise me if that becomes the new fad for the rest of the carriers. These are similar to wireless access points and have a range of 500-1000 feet. Truthfully though, the only new sites I've seen are AT&T and Verizon sites.

I have seen many former Nextel sites with the old equipment still present (decommissioned and obsolete) in our market at more remote sites and the west side of Columbus.  I don't doubt that many are no longer available.  Sprint already did convert many Nextel sites along the various freeways.  We do know where these possible future sites are, but you need to be a premier member.  There have been a few new sites in adjacent markets as well as downtown during the last year.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.

      T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
