UPdownLoAD Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 LTE signals do not give of a geocoding address, so it's a guessing game where your LTE signal is coming from. In Columbus, we have a spreadsheet we use to track the PCI & GCIs given off by the towers, as well as map on Sensorly. Each tower gives off 3 PCIs, so if you drive around mapping and see where they change, you can track it. If there are enough people that want a spreadsheet and can help contribute/maintain it, I'm sure we could help get one up and running for you Cincy Sponsors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowerlater Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Stupid question, but does anyone know what tac means on signal check? I do know it changes per tower. But that's all I got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltesvt Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Anyone else still experiencing dropped call hand-offs between OH and IN towers that have been upgraded to 4G? I justbdrove from I-71 to Kellogg on 275 and could not keep a call to save my life, dropped the call six times I think, and that's on the slim chance the call got out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue only seems to be when trading off to the Hamilton towers not from..... Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk It's the handoff from Motorola legacy equipment to Samsung equipment. It's a known issue with the 2 different vendors. That's why they launch in clusters like we seen the other weekend. Until everything is switched to Samsung , expect some issues trading off from legacy towers to upgraded one's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r_willis Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Middletown tower on main st. Behind the old bowling alley now putting out lte. Will lay down purple on way home from work. I think they were working on the tower at the corner of Roosevelt Blvd and Jackson Lane behind the Speedway the other day. I guess that's a Sprint tower. Getting spotty 4GLTE signals all around Middletown. I guess it's not all done and turned on yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a Sprint tower, if your talking about the flag pole one right behind speedway. The main street tower is carrying really well. I held on to lte almost to Cincinnati Dayton road going behind Armco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btrcp2000 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Wimax not working downtown this morning in the parking garage. Noticed a bunch of large crates on top of the apt bldg at 4th and plum where the sprint antennas are (I think). Fingers crossed!

S4GRU Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Anyone know why, when i am connected to lte, signal check pro does not probide an address? LTE does not squawk its GPS coordinates, so no app is capable of showing an LTE site location. Only 1X squawks its location.

ericwalton Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Looks like the tower at Bridgewater is 1x800 now! Right by the tower I was seeing -60's dBm in signal check. But the address was listed only as Fairfield, OH, USA. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

js4gru Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 what is that cell tower coming off of 275 going to tri county mallhas been broadcasting 1900 for a while. does not support csfb as of yet also based on speed tests I'd say back haul isn't completed.
