Network Vision/LTE - Indianapolis Market


omega

Recommended Posts

So I was just leaving my buddys house in Camby (South East side of Indy outside loop) And I picked up some LTE and I got 40mbps down on a speedtest I will post the screenshot when I find somewhere to host. Also' date=' I see some more people have added some more to Sensorly. I am shocked at how fast sites have popped up. From the look of Sensorly it looks as if there is 7 different sites already.[/quote']

 

The Camby site was in this week's update. :tu:

I checked out the tower at 146th and Hazel Dell today. The kids thought I was being nice and taking them to the park...

Got a little LTE action

Pretty cool stealth tower

That's the tower. It has three little buildings at the base that are all fenced in

One door labeled T-Mobile

One door labeled AT&T

One door with no label

This is the best shot I could get of the Sprint building

I couldn't get the phone to hold the signal anywhere other than where I was walking.

Based on the speeds and the signal strength on Sensorly, I would guess your signal that you experienced at this site was coming from a different site.

I was wondering about that.

Well at least I have pictures of a flagpole cell site ;)

Judging by the weekly update I think I can guess which one...

Wonder how they managed to cram those panels in there.

 

Yuppy towers... Lol

I stared at it way to long. It is a pretty impressive design. I have been to this park 20 times and it never occurred to me it could be a cell site.

Just spoke to Sprint, they said nit the device. No tower in a 30 mile radius , LOL

Good thing you came here for the truth

How do I force it to search for LTE

Toggle airplane mode. This will cause it to look for a(n) LTE signal.

 

If you know your MSL (call Sprint and ask for it, they will usually give it to you)

From your dialpad dial ##DATA#

 

Select Edit

 

Enter your MSL and click OK

 

Select EVDO

 

Select Preferred mode

 

Choose LTE only, or CDMA/LTE

 

Good luck!

 

I highly recommend switching back to the default setting when you are done "exploring" the LTE area.

I thought the signals I was mapping up and down hazel dell seemed to be strongest as I was by the tower at the municipal building at hazel dell and 126th (NE corner of the roundabout).

 

You were not relying on your signal strength indicator to determine signals, right?

I was just looking at the radius of the signal. Assuming that the signal was being transmitted in all directions at equal strength, It would put the center around the large cell tower at that location. I can post pics sometime if that might help? also I noticed that Sensorly app shows the RSRP on the details page in dBm, not sure what the RSRQ is underneath. I'll watch that next time through the area.

It almost looks like the larger panel on the second rack from the bottom might be NV, but I have been wrong before...

    • The March Play System Update that PythonFan referred to in the S24 thread is also out for S22
    • Has anyone checked Verizon n77 in areas with more than 100MHZ active? This spectrum has been fully available since August of last year.  Of course they are not typically using SA.
    • I updated my other s21 ultra factory unlocked to the latest firmware... It behaves like the S24 Ultra n38 or n41 depending on 80 or 100MHz or their nr- arfcn.
    • I see everything correct. The two ARFCN's you mentioned earlier and they idenitify as n-41.  using 4.832b SCP. Only using one TM SIM.
    • I posted this in the Nebraska Premier thread last week, but just wanted to share in this thread the progress that T-Mobile has made in filling in the great coverage gap known as Nebraska. Between late last year and this year, they have added 28 new expansion sites filling in the coverage hole, plus 11 Sprint site conversions in eastern Nebraska and far western Iowa. Notably, in the last month n41 coverage was added on over a dozen expansion sites in western Nebraska that were added to the network last year. For comparison, here is the very first map that I created in October of 2022 after we noted expansion sites outside of Sprint conversion in Lincoln and Omaha. It doesn't show any western parts of the state, but just know there was nothing besides roaming coverage and a little B12 coverage leaking down from South Dakota to the west of Valentine, NE.
