Hi, could you look into what you can find out about Network Vision in Indianapolis?

 

I know right now, we have a core switch issue that should be replaced on March 1st. I do not know if its from Network Vision or just a normal upgrade.

 

The core switch affects many states.

 

I would love to know which vender is doing our upgrade also.

 

Thank you

There were hundreds of thousands of people at the Indianapolis 500 race.  When the race was over, many thousands of people try to get for a taxi to get them out of the area.  Taxis have special road r

Do you know what you're talking about? All LTE performance is signal strength dependent. Even AT&T's. You only get 50Mbps on AT&T when you are on top of a LTE site with no one else on it.

I dont know about you but I got my hopes up when Sprint announced network improvements around Indianapolis right before the Superbowl. I had hoped it meant that either they would stick around and get to work on NV/LTE or that meant they were already working on it. But since I havent seen any mention here...

Hey thank you for that picture.

 

Indianapolis is in that iffy area' date=' where it could be two venders.

 

Hoping Robert can take a look and see who the vender is at least.[/quote']

 

Sorry for the delay. I don't know how I've completely missed this thread for several days...errr, weeks!

 

Samsung is the NV OEM for Indy market.

Definitely not. The band aid improvements are being handled by Ericsson under their nationwide network management contract. NV is being handled by different contracts altogether. In your case, Samsung is handling NV deployment in the Indy market.

Great thank you Robert.

 

Sprint has a huge issue with there core switch. Its been open for almost a year, if anyone is interested the ticket number is 8217743.

 

I hope Samsung changes it out soon, that alone will make huge improvements.

Once I came to my senses, I realized that it had to be just a band aid. And now I wait.

Well... according to the "Network Vision/LTE Deployment Running List" thread, Indy should start seeing their first LTE sites in October. Has anyone seen evidence of work commencing on any of the Indianapolis market towers yet? I'm on the south side of town and I haven't noticed anything yet on my local towers.

Turns out it is in Castleton. If the map is accurate, I know exactly where it is. I actually drove by what I assume is the tower yesterday. I will swing by there in about an hour to see if I can get anything. Lucky me, I work about 10 minutes from there. If I pick up anything worth reporting I will post the results in thus thread, and swing by during daylight to snap some pics of what I believe is the tower.

Why do I bother changing it in Tapatalk?

I am pretty damn excited! That seems like a really small area of coverage. Is that normal?

Ya I would think so it may be only one tower tho and some people may not have that app so it won't mark it I think on it but I'm not a 100 percent sure.. I live in Toledo so I still have a little ways to go but its still great to see more coming each week

Drats! I got nothing!

The tower is loaded up with a lot of equipment. I am just guessing that there is another carrier using it also, or maybe the fire station right next to it has equipment on it, because it is loaded with lots of stuff.

I know that those are awful night time shots. I will get more during daylight in the very near future.

These are the Sensorly screen shots while I was there.

Even got this message

I had to walk back on a private drive that leads to the fire station. The blue dot of my location is directly in between the tower and the fire station.

I wonder if they blocked the site when they left for the day. Where is a spectrum analyzer when you need one???

When I head there tomorrow is there anything in particular I should be looking for? Any particular info from my phone that I should try to get?

Some people working on the tower would be a good sign ;)

I am guessing based on my little night time adventure that someone working on the tower had Sensorly running.

I work in the Fishers area, and just got the iPhone 5 Friday (thanks pre-order!). Sprint is definitely starting to activate their LTE sites slowly but surely, as I am getting LTE in my office. Ran some speed tests, and got 10-15 Mbps down, 2-4 Mbps up at various times.

Hey all,

 

I'm the one that posted on the Sprint forums about the Indy site. I work just south of 106th and Lantern in Fishers.....I was shocked when I came in Monday and the LTE was active on my phone. Here's my Speed Test.....I also was the one that hit up Sensorly.

      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.

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      By RedSpark · Posted

      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.
