Network Vision/LTE - San Diego Market

When will we get any LTE love in El Cajon? Are there any LTE towers out here? There's been a lot of work going on regarding service and towers out here in the past month. Sometimes I have service, and sometimes I have not one bar on my iphone5. That a good thing?

I did some mapping at the 805 and Palm Ave. today. The South Bay is starting to look good.

 

Scary thing is this is just the tip of the iceberg. Wait 'til Sprint completes its 4G LTE deployment. It'll be magnificent.

I drove all over Imperial Beach and on the 805 yesterday to try to find 4G but couldnt :/ but this morning I have noticed faster 3G speeds in Eastlake. I usually get .05-.15mps on speed tests on average but this morning im getting .5-.7mps.

The strongest point of LTE in IB is on Palm Ave between 16th Street (Rally's Burger) and 13th Street (Carls Jr).

Screenshot is Sprint 4G LTE deployment a tad over a month in San Diego County. Still a lot more to be done but so much to look forward in the coming months. In my opinion this is very impressive in just that short amount of time that this much has been activated at one point or another. I'm not an expert, but in my opinion at the current rate, provided there are no delays, I think a majority amount of the populated parts of the county will be covered in 6-9 months.

i was up and down palm avenue in IB and all over that area delivering pizzas for 4 hours tonight and my EVO 3D didnt pick up any 4g :( I think my phones allergic to 4g

 

I could be wrong, but I believe the EVO 3D is a 4G WiMax device, not a 4G LTE device. That's why you're not getting 4G LTE on that particular phone. Unfortunately there are are only 1 or 2 WiMax "protection" sites in the county, nothing widespread unlike LA & Orange Counties.

on way to work added Westbound 8 mapping from Second Street (El Cajon), not available on way home...Picked up some on the 67 also.

 

 

I can help map East County if someone notices LTE and cant update Sensorly, just let me know.

    • T-Mobile has saved its 28Mhz mmWave licenses by using the point to point method to do environment monitoring inside its cabinets. The attachment below shows the antennas used: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/ApplicationSearch/applAdmin.jsp;JSESSIONID_APPSEARCH=LxvbnJuvusmIklPhKy6gVK7f9uwylrZ8LiNf3BqIKlDp3_5GxoBr!300973589!225089709?applID=14787154#   Here are the sites for Franklin county OH: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/attachments/attachmentViewRD.jsp?applType=search&fileKey=66518254&attachmentKey=21989782&attachmentInd=applAttach
    • Yep, there is a label on the side of the box but it doesn't provide any useful info that the city doesn't already provide (Crown Castle Solutions is the franchisee). You can see my graphical interpretation of the city's dataset here.

    • Totally agree.  In my county and surrounding counties, TM did not place n-41 on every site.  When I look at the sites in question, I probably would have not placed it there either.  I can find just a few with n-71 only and in most of those cases if you live there and know the probable usage of the residents, you would not do a full upgrade on those sites.  One site in particular is set up to force feed n-71 through a long tunnel on the Turnpike.  No stopping allowed in the tunnel. No stores, movie theaters, bathrooms, so n41 would be a waste.    n25 is not really needed either, so it is not there.  The tunnel is going through & under a mountain with more black bears than people.  TM was smart.  Get good coverage in the tunnel but do not waste many many thousands of dollars with extra unused spectrum. I also see sites with only n71 & n25.  Again this makes sense to me.  Depending on what county we are talking about, they moved much of their b25 from LTE to nr.  Some counties have more n25 than a neighboring county, but luckily, it is plenty everywhere.   When you are in a very rural area, n41 can run up the bills and then be barely used.  I am NOT finding sites that should have had n41 but TM failed to provide it.  They may have to come back later in a few years and upgrade the site to n41.  However, we just may eventually see the last little piece on Band 25 leave LTE and move to n25. I am not sure if the satellite to phone service is using band 25 G block as LTE or nr. We also can possibly have at least some AWS move from LTE to nr at some point.  Yes, everybody wants n41. it is not justified in some cases.  When I travel, I desire some decent service along the entire route but it does not have to be 1 or 2 gig download.   If I can get 50/5 on a speedtest with data that will flow and not stutter, I am very happy. Yes, they will swap out the USC gear.  TM needs to match their existing network. The USCC equipment did the job for years, but it is time to retire it.
