Network Vision/LTE - Cincinnati Market

I'm going to be relocating from the Columbus area to the Dayton area, specifically Englewood and I can assist in gathering data to help build a map for the Dayton/Cincy Market.  I won't be in Cincy much, but we should still be able to get some useful information.

How do we know they're working on Sprint? That picture is not good, and there appear to be two racks on that tower.

I can't tell if it's Sprint or not. I just thought it was interesting. Sorry about the poor photo quality. It's the best I can do while at work.

P.S. I'm new here.

Well, the Omniplex Dr address wasn't familiar to me, but I've already reported this site as upgraded on Nov 14th in the report sites thread that is in the sponsors section.

 

For those who are sponsors:

It's next to impossible to tell from the pic provided, however, it sorta looks like maybe they are working on the lower rack (there is a big black thing just below the second rack). Sprint is on the top rack.

If they are working on the sprint rack, then maybe they are taking down legacy panels. I'm not terribly interested in going out there since I know that tower has been upgraded for some time anyhow

 

I had no idea Signal Check Pro gave an address until I saw your screenshot! Should have spent the $2 a long time ago.

Yeah, usually it does, but sometimes they're not right/off.

Does anyone know if the tower at 7047 Liberty Fairfield Rd is going to be 4G. I now see sticks at the lowest tier but no antennas on them. Obviously something is going to be put there. I think this used to be a Clearwire tower.

CI33XC050 has TW Business for back haul (recently installed). Plus there are two microwave directional antennas (installed last week).  Just a waiting game now to turn it on.

Looks like that area is getting lit up really fast. I haven't read much on the microwave antennas. Does that usually keep the same throughput and speeds as the usual backhaul?

Yes, as long as there are not too many hops.  There are only 2 towers feeding from the one....

This is a tower up in Richmond.  I have been watching crews for weeks and finally today they are installing the new equipment on top.  I love progress!

The two Eastgate towers are broadcasting 800 3G. The 434 Hilltop drive tower has been broadcasting lte also but it seems to be pretty week. The other Eastgate tower is across state route 32 from the Eastgate mall and it seems to be coming from the new tower that I believe is replacing the old one on that lot.

    • 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 coule potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s. 
    • Still not seeing any ULS postings for pending T-Mobile UScellular merger in Dane county Wisconsin.
    • Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
    • Same with factory unlocked
    • June security update is out (S22U TMO)
