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

When you quoted that, I didn't see the date at first and actually got excited.

 

The other day I looked at the site for permits in Columbus regarding antennas, and I didn't see anything for Sprint in the last year. They're all for AT&T and T-Mobile, installing 6 antennas and RRU's, etc.

The long answer is in about 30 different places in our forums. But the short answer is three fold:

 

One, the WiMax network was supposed to much larger and robust to offload a lot of data off the 3G.

 

Two, Sprint was spending its network money on keeping Clearwire WiMax afloat and starting Network Vision.

 

Three, Sprint has been losing money for along time and did not have the resources to spend upgrading on a network they were just about to start dismantling with Network Vision improvements.

 

However, the end of the old 3G network is near. The new 3G Network and LTE network are performing wonderfully. It looks like Sprint will be starting, completing or well underway in every market in the country by mid year.

i get that, but i guess i dont understand why its gotten so abysmal. wimax is still around, and plenty of people still have wimax phones here. i understand that theyve not been putting any money into it, but its just been such a sharp dropoff that that didnt seem to be the sole reason

It's overburdened. And the fix is coming in Network Vision upgrades. They won't start until late Spring or Summer in Columbus market.

Robert... When are you expecting Sprint to make their next announcement for the next round of cities?

 

I have no idea. I do not get advanced notice of what their marketing people decide to do.

Thanks keelerman8042. Appreciate the help in mapping these. Can't wait until more start popping up and we start seeing completion dates moving from TBD.

How consistent were the speeds, in building penetration, etc... What about 3g?

The 4G was pretty consistent in a building. However, I did happen to be a few feet away from the tower. Also, what I noticed was the further away from the tower, the slower the speed. I guess that is to be expected. I did not think to check 3G. Sorry about that.

Updated the map took the Morse Road permit off due to that being locked because some one messesd up in the permiting department or who ever and put the new permit up on sawmill. You guys will have to click the external link to view where it is. For some reason the map wont pop up unless you hit the link. Sorry for the delay, full time college student on top of a 20+ hour week job.. Busy man :)

Hi all. Sorry I'm a bit new to this, but if work permits and such are being filed now for Columbus, approximately when does that mean launch will be for LTE?

When they get approved. Could be right after they get approved or could be 60-90 days or could be months. Nobody knows.

I'm presenting at the meeting, as I do at most of the kickoff meeting I attend. I'm just glad I don't have to host this time.

I imagine something like this...

 

"Hey you, sonz a beeches...this is what I expect when I inspect a site. Do it right the first time, it gets accepted and everyone gets paid. Capeche?"

 

But then again, I have an over active imagination. ;)

Gotcha, I didn't know that's what you did. Do you work for Sprint or are you a contractor?

      I really apreciate no longer seeing n38 for T-Mobile. My s24 Ultra is reporting that Signalcheck Pro is crashing frequently.  It has the latest updates. I do occassional change sims and band preferences. Let me know if you need anything else.   Thanks.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Spent a lot of time in Westchester this weekend, specifically Yonkers and White Plains. I mapped three AT&T Nokia -> Ericsson conversions. I was super impressed with T-Mobile's macro density and not so much with AT&T's. In Yonkers it seems like T-Mobile macros outnumber AT&T macros 3 to 1 and in White Plains, 2 to 1. Another surprise was the lack of small cells on AT&T in both cities. While Cellmapper shows White Plains having no small cells, I did manage to find one in the Church Street neighborhood. While it's only one, it's an indication to me that T-Mobile intends on expanding n41 density with small cells in the city. On the other hand, in Yonkers T-Mobile has a ton of LTE small cells but none of them have been upgraded to 5G yet as far as I can tell. Crown Castle has been moving super fast in NYC and Long Island to upgrade and install new 5G small cells so I can only assume it's either a permitting or backhaul issue that's stopping them from moving full steam ahead there. — — — — — Came across this cool site in Yonkers with Verizon, T-Mobile, and Dish present.

      Other two sectors finally installed. Hopefully it goes live soon though I know from past experience that these new builds can take weeks and in some cases months to go live.
