They were putting up new panels on the water tower in whitefish bay today. I will try and take a pic today. I don't know if sprint is on the water tower or the cell tower next to the water tower.

Yesterday morning, at the tower right by my house in Fitchburg, WI (Near Seminole Hwy / PD), I saw a mess of trucks near the base and people on the tower. I was pretty excited and wanted to detour my run over there and ask a lot of questions, but its contained within a power station so you can't really get close to it at all. Does anyone know the name of the companies subcontracted in the Madison Area? Is there anyway to know this information?

 

I believe this is one of Sprint's biggest towers in the Madison area. I'm hopeful that this means something is going in. They have already done "capacity", "speed" and "voice" upgrades about 6 months ago according to network.sprint.com. Now the tower is absent on that page so I'm assuming that we will start to see more with the current activity?? It could be unrelated at all. I still can't imagine a future where Sprint is good here.

Are you referring too the tower behind the Rocky rococo?

Or on the Amc theater side of Seminole?

Any update on that town on PD?

 

There was no activity there this am. I don't see any new equipment either. I'll try to send a pic if I get a good shot. Maybe someone can identify what might be the correct equipment.

This is site "Ml17xc186E" It is on Waterford between 6th and 13th St. This is a Sprint only tower. This is the second time I have seen a tower being connected to a telephone line underground (the other one was on the tower on 43rd and Loomis Rd basically by the north bound Loomis Road exit). Where in the process of updating a tower would work like this be done?

Anyone?

I saw this last week when i drove by Bayshore mall. Clearly can see new panels on the tower. I flipped airplane mode hoping i would catch some LTE but my luck is obviously not that great. When im over in Whitefish Bay again i will try and grab some photos and test airplane mode again. We should be seeing our first LTE in the area "soon".

That's great news! I was just thinking this thread has been quiet for the past week or so. Seems like the quiet before the storm that is LTE goodness. Glad Milwaukee is moving forward, just hope Madison isn't too far behind.

I drove past that tower yesterday. I didn't see any activity or new equipment, I did see a few pieces of heavy machinery sitting idol however.

I was in Chicago this last weekend with my Evo LTE and oh man, was it glorious! I just kept running speed test after speed test. I can't wait for that sweet sweet LTE goodness in Milwaukee.

So would you guys with knowledge of work being done on the towers and the "inside information" anticipate an LTE Milwaukee rollout earlier than what I was told yesterday on the phone by a Sprint CSR, "End of 2013, early 2014"?

As far as a launch goes, that's probably pretty accurate. Likely the very first LTE signals will go live sometime in May or June. But it will take at least 6 months of deployment for a market launch.

That is what i have been thinking. I'm guessing 1 or 2 crews are currently active in the area with the ramp up starting mid to late summer. It would be nice to have LTE or hell just decent 3G for Summerfest, at Miller Park, and the Wisconsin State Fair this summer. Crossing my fingers.

I would love having lte available the next time I visit Miller Park. It would be nice streaming MLB tv over lte while enjoying a Brewers game.

      Interesting, I saw this too on my AT&T S22 while roaming on US Cellular. I thought it was an Android bug since CellMapper was doing the same thing (didn't get a screenshot of that one). N66 makes more sense than N1.

      Thanks, that was good timing, I did see your report as I was buttoning up this latest update and added an override for that.. did it not work?   Ok, was that on AT&T also? Please send a report if you happen to see it again and safely have the opportunity. You can always do the long-press on the fly and then send a later one with an explanation pointing to the earlier one.. your username is attached to the long-press reports, so it's not an issue.

      I sent a report in earlier, n66 reporting as n1. There should be two different reports, I couldn't find the button the first time so I just long pressed the connection type to send, then I remembered where it was. I put a note about the issue on the 2nd report. Both reports from me are for the same issue. Also, it might have been on a prior release but earlier this week I also saw n66 reported as n65 on the app. I was driving and wasn't able to send a report in for that one.

      One more SCP beta rolling out.. includes more bugfixes and minor improvements. Pending any major issues with this version, it will be released to the public within a few days. Thanks for all the help and feedback!

      Passed by the former Sprint site at 1184 60th St in Brooklyn last week and noticed T-Mobile took down all of the Sprint equipment but it looked like they installed some new cabinets so conversion is likely in progress.
