Network Vision/LTE - Cincinnati Market

[Handyman]

dayton has LTE

 

I think he was referring to the fact that the Sprint maps have been updated to reflect the fact that 4G is now available ...

the tower on mall road had a guy working on it it is a tower that used to be a flag pole tower that has been upgraded to a full tower don't know how far along they are yet though

while going down colerain ave to joesph chevrolet i looked over behind joesph buick the tower behind

them i saw the cover off the tower.. which tells me they are working on that tower 

[ericwalton]

There are guys up on top the tower today in Bridgewater Falls area (129 and Byp 4). I didn't get back here to post, but the last time I posted about a truck up there it turned out to be AT&T.

 

I believe they're up on the sprint rack, so hopefully we'll see some new panels up this week.

[jdellcar]

Let's hope so! I feel like we've been in progress for so long with that tower. I had thought someone from Hamilton said this tower already had the upgraded panels.

[ericwalton]

I don't know why that tower was ever marked in progress. As far as I could tell there was never any evidence that it was actually in progress. It definitely doesn't have the panels for NV up yet, but I feel like this is the same crew I saw down on Rt 4 in Hamilton the week of valentines day.

 

I'll be keeping an eye on it daily this week.

I think it's the top rack, but I'm not certain. I'm not so sure I'm so great at spotting legacy panels, but NV panels are easy.

[ericwalton]

Just went by the Bridgewater tower. They have one new NV panel up on the tower! Based on what I saw when they were upgrading the Rt 4 tower, they should be finished by the end of the week.

[calvis88]

That's exciting, I'm gonna have to take s close look on the way home tonight

I went back by the Bridgewater tower today, three NV antennas are up now.

 

Busy day in the Hamilton and Fairfield area for tower climbers. Noticed a climber up on what I think is a Verizon tower off rt 4 in Hamilton. Then saw some climbers up on the tower Sprint is on right off rt 4 in Fairfield, they were not on the Sprint rack though and that tower has had NV antennas up for some time.

 

Found a rope hanging from the tower on Pleasant Ave in Fairfield just north of John Gray, no one on that tower, did see guys at the base of it but it has multiple carriers. No NV antennas on this tower, but I may be able to check back tomorrow. It's located inside a gated storage place so can't get very close to see equipment on the ground.

 

I'll also try and get to the tower near Hamilton Mason and Lesourdsville West Chester Rd to see if anything thing has been done.

Signal Check is reporting 1x800 from the Wasserman Rd tower in Hamilton as well. If so I'm really hoping lte is knocking at our doors.

I know when 800 went live in Trenton, LTE followed about 2 weeks later. Be nice to have lte everywhere.

I can drive back by and take a screen shot to prove it if you like.

I also know 3rd St tower is putting out 1x800 as is the tower off RT 4 in Hamilton, near McDonalds. Did ride down to Fairfield, no towers down there with 800 yet. It would appear all towers inside the Hamilton City limits are 1x800 now.

[js4gru]

my service keeps dropping.. this is in Fairfield and in the west side.... hoping this is a sign that we are getting some more upgrades... kind of irritating that I'm getting so many missed calls since the phone won't ring..... sign of progress I guess

not calling you a liar simply saying I'm two hundred yards away and not getting 1x800 nor have I ever, maybe they were testing it when you went by or maybe I don't know how to use signal check but I've not seen 1x800 from that tower yet, I just took this shot maybe I'm looking at it wrong Lord knows I'm no pro at this stuff
