It's running B41. I never seen what the site looks like. I haven't seen a permit for this site either, so I can't really answer your question what it's using.

Thanks for the explanation.

 

We have a number of GMO sites in LA Metro so anything GMO catches my eye.

That's exactly how it is here in North San Diego. Many GMO sites. Did you see the answer to my question below?

Yes, thanks!

 

Do the GMO sites in North San Diego tend to be compact installations, such as utility poles or stealth sites?

We have many steath sites on light poles (streets and public parks), flag poles, and artificial trees. I've seen 3 on utility poles.

If you see any tri-band antennas please post them on here.  I haven't seen any in the SoCal ALU markets.

2 macro sites at the San Diego County Fair (Del Mar Fairgrounds).  B41 was very usable my entire time there.

There is a B41 site over on Leucadia in Encinitas that's stealth, and not running B41 yet. All 3 carriers share it, and all are in a gated fire department/water plant only employees can go into. All are in fake trees, and covered up very well like the military did the work with the green shades. T-Mob is the only visible one that isn't that blanketed unlike the others. You can see these sites passing by on a very busy street, but standing at the gate in parking lot, still wouldn't get a great look.

Just curious. I took pics of this site over in Vista back in January this year. It has a permit for B41. Looking at Sponsor Map, it has that certain amount of days until possible upgrading. So my question is this site more difficult to upgrade compared to others? Is it waiting for more equipment to be installed? Reason I'm asking is because there are a handful of sites in the surrounding area to this one, that didn't have permits, and running B41.

Anything new in SD?

Same old same old until the marcelo NgN plans comes into effect nationwide. Mostly just getting backhaul and wrapping up those few hard to get sites that Walter bypassed until now.

Has anyone been out on highway 8 in far east San Diego county recently? I drove it this weekend and noticed stretches of Sprint 1x coverage where previously it was Verizon roaming on 1x. Is it possible that 800 mHz is being tested on a single tower out there or is it too early? I understand that it may just be the result of the placement of RRUs, new antennas, etc.

 

As an aside, I was in a remote area next to the border which had great Sprint LTE service and poor or nothing on other providers- my phone was popular among the people that I was with. It was the luck of the draw with site placement and unusual to have better service in the middle of nowhere than in town (unloaded tower, generally).

I was hiking in Cleveland Forest in March 2015 and had no service except VZW roaming. Maybe this is a recent development. :)

Sprint need to do something on the Coast Hwy 101 in Carlsbad, beginning at Tamarack all the way to Poinsettia Lane. Always no service, and roaming alert comes on. I experience many times over the last couple of months, especially morning hours if I take the coast to work. When passing between the 2 on the freeway everyday, both morning and evening, I'm either on LTE 1900, B41, or 3G.

 

Why would it be like that on the coast, compared to being on freeway? It's always that pocket with no service.

Send me pm, let me known which site your connected to and which site your supposed to hand off too. Need it on a map and a circle of the no service location

I can exec look at it.

Found 2 more new B41 sites in North County today. First was in Carlsbad on Carlsbad Village Dr. Other was in Vista on Sycamore.

I stopped by, and this is what I got!tmp_28171_Screenshot_2015_05_20_16_11_08tmp_28171_Screenshot_2015_05_20_16_15_58

Passed the site this morning by accident on way to work, when I happened to notice antennas on a power pole. It's a GMO.

Interesting..doesn't look like a 2.5 8T8R antennas.  Maybe I am wrong.  Tim can you shine in?

Standard NV setup 1900 only

Thanks for verifying. I wasn't exactly sure either, it's the only site in that area, and B41 is live. When I seen that site, I thought of this one I seen and took pics of back in January.

Discovered this B41 signal this morning in Carlsbad, over on Poinsettia Ln/Melrose Dr.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
