Hey all' date='

 

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.

Do you work at that Fire Station where the Sensorly blips are located? Oh, and welcome to S4GRU.

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.

Nope......I'm a few miles to the Northeast. It surprised me that Sensorly pinpointed that as the location....I thought it might be a bit far.

There's a couple of more LTE blips showing up in Sensorly at 82nd & Allisonville now.

 

Looks like somebody walked from the parking lot into the Houseworks store running Sensorly. :tu:

A major road construction project is just finishing up (replaced the Allisonville Rd bridge over I 465) so I wonder if Sprint upgraded the tower at 82nd & Allisonville as part of the project. It might have been part of the utility relocation due to the new bridge? I don't spend much time on that side of town so I don't know exactly where the tower is/was or whether it even needed to be relocated.

 

Doug... I agree! Just finished up a growler of Half Cycle last night.

Pics of the tower from last night. Still no LTE.

Off to the other Castleton location that appeared today. Wish me luck.

I was wondering the same thing. Then again I am not 100% sure what I am looking for.

Here is a before and after comparision I did for Ericsson equipment: http://s4gru.com/ind...ter-comparison/

 

Trying to find a good shot of Samsung/Alca-Lu equipment. The Panels will look the same but the RRUs are a bit different.

 

Edit - Here is Alca-Lu equipment from Baltimore:

this is SUPER exciting! I'm out here in Lafayette. I go to Indy pretty often.

You and me both! I am going to check out at least one of the new sites from Sensorly tomorrow. I am thinking that I am not going to have much luck, but maybe I will get lucky. I am pretty sure at least one that I checked out today is BS. Not sure on the other.

by the way, that Carmel server you are on always give me trouble. The downloads are always way below what they are on others and the Indianapolis server isnt any better. I always have to search around for a decent one, the Chicago Comcast one does alright for me sometimes.

I will try a few others tonight if I get a chance.

Nice that just confirms that they are defiantly working on the towers around there

 

Defiantly working? Is that a Freudian slip? :lol:

      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.
