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

its a brand new tower that's labeled as indoor and the address is at the Anheuser Busch plant.

yes, my wife works at the brewery, they just completed their nextel replacement the friday before nextel shutdown (A-B is exclusive sprint/) and had their whole nextel repeater network upgraded to CDMA/NV.  LTE not on yet, but mostly this tower provides service internal to the A-B property/buildings.

My commute on 161 East from I-270 (Westerville) has become more and more cumbersome with data calls.  I used to have full bars of service at all times and no issues with voice, but the last week or so it's been different.  Another interesting note is that I was having signal issues and noticed that I'm pulling 1X 800 from the Welsh Rd Site.  Quite a feat considering that is almost 15 miles away...  Is this even possible?  Can't wait to see the next LTE site live!

How far away are you?  I was shocked to see it so far away...

 

Dumb question, the bars on the EVO show 1X coverage, right?

 

Thank you all in advance.

From what I read elsewhere on the forums, if you're within range of 800 it will choose that connection over a closer stronger 1900 signal.

 

It will really affect people with EVDO Airaves. Like myself.

Great, I have one of those myself. I guess the goal is to eliminate it of course. If the range is truly 8-10 miles I'll be fine.

Hopefully. I'm less than 2 miles from two towers, but because of the terrain around my house, you'll experience drop calls.

Noticed a rural tower that had new RRU's and antennas on it yesterday.

 

CB03H****

39.39***

-82.16****

****, Nelsonville, OH

45764, USA

 

Sprint Market: Columbus

OEM: Samsung

RF Switch: FW-FORT_WAYNE-MSC_1

 

It's located south of Nelsonville along US RT 33 (about half way between Nelsonville and The Plains).

I wasn't able to get pictures or do any testing due to heavy traffic, so I didn't post it in the In Progress thread, but is is definitely in progress.

It looks like there may be some hope for South East Ohio too.

Which Airave do you have? 1.0, 2.0 or 2.5?

have you had a chance to be on 1xa for data without evdo? I heard its much faster than traditional 1x

I'll try next time it switches over... Just few times a week... Not sure why our when even though I drive those two areas every day.

Keep in mind that, unless you're running the LTE Discovery app, running Sensorly can actually make it harder to find LTE. This is because Sensorly maintains an almost constant data connection, meaning the phone has less opportunities to scan for LTE.

 

In the days since this, I have done runs along 670, and circled the outerbelt from Roberts Rd. all the way north and around to Easton, with LTE Discovery assisting Sensorly.

 

Never so much as a blip anywhere.  Occasionally I'll get a brief hit on the Morse Rd. tower as I'm waiting to turn onto the 270 on-ramp, but so far I'm getting nothing else nowheres.

Thanks for making that run. Looks like nothing new in the area yet.

what you're not getting LTE right?

 

Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

No lte, it's just 3g/800 NV accepted so far, no backhaul...

 

Still, that tower is just over a 5 minute drive around some hills and trees and pretty good signal for no backhaul or lte yet. Seems promising when all my towers running 3g/800/lte with backhaul.
