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.

So you're suggesting we shut down this entire site since this site is based on that hobby of talking to cell site workers and takings picture of cellular equipment among other things to track the deve

Been seeing some amazing speeds off my local tower the last week or so on B25! This is off the tower I posted pics of a while back with the very first known 8T8R antennas. Some of you will remember th

OK I am absolutely blown away with the difference between my S3 and my son's S5! I would have not been so frustrated with my service had I known. If I didn't want the note 4 so bad I would upgrade

Also wondering how to read what band of lte i am connecting to

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

heck forget the state border, I keep losing calls just going into Hamilton, finally got lte and and now I lose calls or they get seriously garbled on my way into town no matter which way I'm coming in, I'm surprised the trade off is so harsh, anyone know why?

One more question, why don't I have trouble leaving Hamilton? The issue only seems to be when trading off to the Hamilton towers not from.....

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.

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?

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.

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!

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.

what is that cell tower coming off of 275 going to tri county mall

has 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.

      Just mapped at least 8 5G small cells (all 109xxxx gNBs) while driving on the Southern State. They all seem to be n25/n41. I'm pretty sure nearly all of them are upgrades of existing small cells as opposed to new builds but I'm glad to see Crown Castle/T-Mobile hard at work getting midband 5G on all of these. Each of the unpinned gNBs belong to 1-2 small cells. I still can't pin these sites until the Cellmapper devs give us the option to split cells for 5G sites.

      Their offers have been crap recently, so this is just more evidence to not buy from T-Mobile.

      T-Mobile Will Soon Prevent Early Payoff Of Phones Receiving Bill Credits If you finance a phone with T-Mobile it will remain locked until paid off but now you won't be able to pay off early. If you don't currently purchase your phones from the manufacturer here is another reason it might be a good idea.

      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 could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — —  Old permit for this new install expired but a new one was recently issued. It's gonna be similar to the site at 360 Forman St in Brooklyn Heights. Permit calls for only 3 antennas to be installed so I'm assuming it gonna be Band 2/41/66 and n25/41 only which is a bit of a downgrade from the now decommissioned full build that was on 871 7th Ave but in it's current state the nearest macro is a few blocks away and a small cell at Broadway and 55th is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the area so anything helps.
