Pictures of Panels and RRUs up close


Recommended Posts

I see I was correct in the independent downtilt control of 1900 EV/1X, 800SMR, and 1900 LTE. Very nice feature indeed! 800SMR should be booming when it's 100% in a market.

 

Thanks for the pics and they didn't care you were taking pictures?

They didnt care, they were too busy doing other things, all they said "look, but dont touch"

Hopefully 0 downtilt LTE 1900 covers the entire area of 800 cdma with downtilt. If they can cover that scenario, they could pretty much cover anything I think.

 

Not sure I understand the statement. 800 is going to cover farther than 1900 then there is the difference of 1x and LTE.

Ya my thinking might have been crazy. I was thinking about a medium density area, you would probably want to downtilt the 800, but not the 1900. Since you have more spectrum/phones in the 1900 LTE, you would want it to cover the entire area. I was also thinking that in that situation maybe 1900 LTE would travel slightly further than 800 LTE since you have independent control of LTE on 1900.

 

The more I think about it you could downtilt your 800 as much as you want to make sure 800 and 1900 cover the same area - Disregard as irrelevance.

I hope in 2014 sprint will announce.... Network Vision 2 (The massive rural expansion using SMR).

 

This. This is all Sprint needs to do. I don't care if they charge as much as AT&T or Verizon then. They would keep unlimited data.

Great pics there appreciate it alot!

 

At my HS reunion this weekend I found out one of my old friends does work with cell towers now. Something where he climbs up takes some readings and then plugs them in and does some work in CAD to an extent... Guy himself wasn't there but he's evidently been flying all over doing it. Was in PR before and just got into FL recently. Never installs anything just takes the survey basically.

 

Also got a girl on my softball team that actually does work on the towers here in NC area for all the companies. Hasn't done anything for sprint lately but is gonna let me know when she does next time... Climbing cell towers 600ft would be the last thing I'd of guessed this girl did too...

 

What were the markings on the antennas for btw? I remember the Miami video guy saying "..." One was for alpha sector..." And think I remember one of your pics saying that but don't know how they classify the sectors exactly either...

This deserves a whole topic!!! Not sure where the topic would go, but I would love to see Sprint take on Verizon's 850 coverage. I know some places in northern Minnesota that T-Mobile and Sprint would both like to venture into (selfish).

    • https://www.fiercewireless.com/wireless/t-mobile-gets-little-closer-accessing-its-25-ghz-spectrum-auction-108 Senator Kennedy's bill to grant the FCC temporary auction authority to finish processing the Auction 108 licenses it has sold to their proper licensees. This would greatly benefit T-Mobile.  This delayed process took what would have been a strategic advantage for T-Mobile (1 one year plus head start)  and turned into catch-up, since AT&T and Verizon haven been busy installing their c-band n77 in rural areas.
    • I configured -44/-3 scenarios on an Edge 2022 to be an invalid connection, so yes, it would show no service.. I didn't realize it was a frequent issue though. How certain are you about the other values? Perhaps they are just unchanged from the previous array of signal information that was reported? If that is the case, I can try to have the app discard -44/-3 datapoints and leave the screen unchanged. I worry about the slippery slope of having it display as -140, because that leads users to believe there is a -140 signal present, when in reality we don't know what the actual reading is.   Haha me and you both wish this!!!
    • Following up, I've gone into the office in person today and took my Edge with me. It looks like it now shows "No service" instead of the -44/-3 value.  I saw a lot of "no service" because it apparently does it a lot.  I'll check again on the train ride home later. Assuming I'm correct, is it possible to have some kind of middle ground on this?  I think it was showing other legitimate values, like the TA, even when it was showing -44/-3.  I'd prefer it show the data it has but at -140 dBm in those cases.  I recognize this could be a pain to implement, and if it is, then no worries, mostly curious. EDIT:  But now I'm sitting here thinking "what if the PCI is bad and I don't know it?"  But that can just as easily be the case on other phones that aren't caught.  I do regularly see bad PCI entries on my other devices, so maybe this isn't the best option.  Bleh, I wish this stuff just worked properly! - Trip
    • Forgot to follow up on this. The service was once again abysmal .
