That is correct. Instead of blocking access to the already completed sites, Sprint is allowing users to connect to the sites that have been upgraded. The market has not launched yet.

The towers around my house have been upgraded, and I have received 4g in my town. But I can't connect to any 4g towers, is it that only Boston is online??

Nope. I'm at Rt. 6 and Parker Rd, (unincorporated area, Marley/Mokena), zip, zero, nada. Went to Lemont this afternoon, nothing. Went to Menards on Bell in Homer, nada.

 

Hate to say it, but: meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

 

I'll be heading up to Oak Lawn for the evening, I'll give it a whirl. Ain't holding my breath.

 

i can tell you now Oak Lawn, Evergreen Park, Blue Island, etc are all dead.

Could be... I don't know why they would still be blocking access on the other sites in the market though.

I now get LTE in my town, but very weak signal.... Tower is up the street... The tower is in a very low location, and too many damn trees.

Chicagoland update. The 4G LTE bubble on coverage.sprint.com is very accurate. I drove on Lake-Cook Rd and then NW on 12. to Lake Barrington. 4G signal is solid and consistent. When leaving this "bubble" only 3G is available. So this coverage map is very accurate. In fact, the small area on highway 14 in Palatine worked and then went to 3G after leaving this area.

    • Checked just now and found a 56MB GP System update pending...will follow up after install.    Edit:  Confirmed that this one moved from August to September 1 after updating.
    • Are you sure that's Direct to Cell? That sounds like the 911 center was offline and they got brought back online via a Starlink uplink. Which also makes way more sense than Direct to Cell for that area.

    • February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.
