Network Vision/LTE - San Diego Market

Recommended Posts

All this LTE action in La Jolla and Santee, and not one blip on Sensorly. The New Orleans and Austin members would have had four cars mapping each site in an hour. :(

 

I'm counting on all you San Diegans who said that when LTE started going live in your market, you'd be all over it. Where'd you guys all go? :lol:

Don't worry Robert, I'll take a slight detour on my way home today through Rancho Bernardo this afternoon between 3-4pm PT and tomorrow around the same time I'll detour through La Jolla.

I'm getting solid LTE signal in Santee near the 52. Held it most of the way down Mission Gorge and all the way to Pepper Drive elementary school. Not super fast yet and kinda unstable but it's definitely on. For some reason sensorly won't update with my iPhone 5

Apple prevents Sensorly from gaining access to the information needed to map your signal. Maybe if enough people complain they will allow it? Probably not..

Weird, it's strangely reporting the 4G as being WiMax on sensorly

 

All the WiMax mapping on Sensorly is in known WiMax Protection Site locations when I just checked now. It doesn't appear to be showing LTE marking mistakenly on the WiMax maps.

I just drove through parts of La Jolla, University City, and Torrey Pines with Sensorly mapping. No luck on getting any LTE service.

How strange... I live in La Jolla/UTC and work in Torrey Pines. I was still getting LTE this morning when I woke up at home but now that I'm at work (which is only a few miles away) it's back to crappy 3G.

Really? There is a small purple splotch in the WiMax map that is right over my house! The Map Trip function automatically uploads the data to the sensorly servers, right?

Nice. That's the route i took home after I drove through LA Jolla. Wish I can take credit, but Sensorly have me 0 4g points while mapping.

 

I see the first Sensorly tracks along I-5 just south of UCSD. It's very faint. Yay, progress!

Very interesting. I live right in the area right between I-5 and Gilman Dr. at the Nobel exit but no LTE. My wife's Nexus S 4G picks up WiMax but my Galaxy Nexus is still not seeing any LTE. Sensorly maps show that it's a little bit south of me but I roam around that area after work today and see if I can pick it up.

Signals come and go during testing. But also, be sure your device is in LTE mode. You may also need to cycle airplane mode to pick it up when in range.

Just got done driving around the reported LTE signal but I wasn't able to find anything. I used the side roads next to the highway but no luck. I also cycled Airplane mode and and cycled LTE but nothing helped.

 

I will say that I'm now on eHRPD now at my house (less than 1/2 mile north) which is definitely new. I'm also getting a much stronger 3g signal at my house too.

 

I'll do more investigating after rush hour is over and post updates.

Thanks. The effort is appreciated.

Recorded a purple 4G LTE dot, right at Carmel Mountain Road and I-15 on Sensorly. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get a speedtest because it was brief. It was worth the detour. I started in Del Mar, went through Fairbanks Ranch, then 4S Ranch, through Camino Del Norte, made a left onto Bernardo Center Drive, then a right onto Paseo Luicdo which then turned into Carmel Mountain Road. Then I got some Costco gelato at the food court, then headed back home to Scripps Ranch (far East end of Mira Mesa Blvd). It wasn't until I hit the overpass that crosses I-15 on Carmel Mountain Road that I hit 4G LTE. It's not much but this makes me excited and very happy that I reupped for another 2 years with Sprint back in September!

Looks like the site just to north of the location at the Camino del Norte is live. Good find!

EASTLAKE

 

Gotta remember, the San Diego market isn't even launched yet. It's possible that LTE was there in & around the Albertsons in Eastlake near the State Route 125 Toll Road and Proctor Valley Road and the went away. We're in that testing phase right now where 4G LTE is threre some days & non existent on others.

Ok, I've done the map trip for several minutes and gotten quite a few LTE points. Why isn't the coverage map updating?

I'm not positive about this, but I think that they check it like weekly or something.

 

Sensorly maps are updated within several hours of getting new data, often within 10 or 15 minutes. If you are not seeing your data after a couple of hours, then there was a problem with your phone reporting the information.

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). They do have a reserve level. Nationwide 800Mhz is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  T-Mobile did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, FWA Mobile in RVs in Walmart parking lots working where mobile phones need all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71, 90% 5g.  93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77 also with its shorter range.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline June 1 for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio covering 27500-28350Mhz expiring 6/8/2028. No reported sightings.  Buildout notice issue sent by FCC in March 5, 2024 https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/letterPdf/LetterPdfController?licId=4019733&letterVersionId=178&autoLetterId=13060705&letterCode=CR&radioServiceCode=UU&op=LetterPdf&licSide=Y&archive=null&letterTo=L  No specific permits seen in a quick check of Columbus. They also have an additional 200Mhz covering at 24350-25450 Mhz and 24950-25050Mhz with no buildout date expiring 12/11/2029.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
