But there is a huge hole for lte because of the non upgraded tower i finally got good pictures 7bb5df5cb12b6a366f41a4391acccde8.jpgef9913cb453a01f3030832d5c58e7bbe.jpg3d7fa2d8b9f83cc550bfef392cae0a01.jpgdb3bac472e12ad7d525cac32467dc1e6.jpg4121e1e4f15b3f8020cb502241a6c75a.jpg

Good GMO pics!

I'm aware but if the phone can connect to a usable LTE signal, it's gonna do it regardless of the distance

No, your post is what is wrong.  It violates S4GRU rules.  We do not host Sprint complaints.   http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/1197-s4gru-posting-guidelines-aka-the-rulez/   So, one of our moder

You say that.  Yet the Northern Jersey market had nearly 30 upgrade updates last month.  More than most other markets.  And Central Jersey had a good showing with 13 updates.  It's still happening.  I

Does it look like this one can get upgraded to a full build...

Any GMO can get upgraded to a full build. The RRUs and base cabinets there are capable of running LTE. They need to replace the antennas, hook the RRUs up on the pole the antennas are on, and they obviously need upgraded backhaul.

CA is live in Camden and I am on LTE all the time speeds are above 50 Mbps, close proximity to Philly I guess and upgrades are going fast in Philly looks like for pope visit.

Sprint is still in the process of upgrading all over new Jersey

We were down in Mt. Laurel area along Rt. 73 the other week and service was kind of disappointing. At the shopping center with the Apple Store and LL Bean you would sometimes have LTE outside but once inside you would drop down to 3G which at three bars was more or less useless. Page loads were over a minute. Tried toggling airplane mode a bunch of times but it didn't really help and just seems exhausting after awhile. Even LTE seemed sluggish. It's the same pattern as where I live. Anything built within the last 15 years will most likely have subpar coverage.

You will also have to give them time build out and do you have a triband phone

Yes. I have an iPhone 6 Plus. They still haven't finished Network Visoon so I'm not gonna hold my breathe for the latest build out. The Jersey markets are way behind schedule if you ask me.

I understand that...mine goes to roaming but they haven't finished here where I live

Once the shutdown happens, what does Sprint have to do to the clear sites to get CA up and running beside upgraded backhaul??

They have to do the remaining software and hardware upgrades

Down Wildwood this weekend and I must say the service is much improved from last year. Pretty much sat on B41 all weekend, and B26 when needed. All of the places I went to last year with bad service are great now, could use a little optimization on B26 still but it's a great experience here now.

Now I understand why LTE progress has stalled in South Jersey. Most of the towers that do not have LTE are GMOs. GMOs will not be upgraded until the very end. At least that is my understanding.

GMOS are a pain to upgrade especially permitting and other issues

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By wispiANt · Posted

      Historically, T-Mobile has been the only carrier contracting with Crown Castle Solutions, at least in Brooklyn. I did a quick count of the ~35 nodes currently marked as "installed" and everything mapped appears to be T-Mobile. However, they have a macro sector pointed directly at this site and seem to continue relying on the older-style DAS nodes. Additionally, there's another Crown Castle Solutions node approved for construction just around the corner, well within range of their macro. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Verizon using a new vendor for their mmWave build, especially since the macro site directly behind this node lacks mmWave/CBRS deployment (limited to LTE plus C-Band). However, opting for a multi-carrier solution here seems unlikely unless another carrier has actually joined the build. This node is equidistant (about five blocks) between two AT&T macro sites, and there are no oDAS nodes deployed nearby. Although I'm not currently mapping AT&T, based on CellMapper, it appears to be right on cell edge for both sites. Regardless, it appears that whoever is deploying is planning for a significant build. There are eight Crown Castle Solutions nodes approved for construction in a 12-block by 2-block area.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      Starlink (1900mhz) for T-Mobile, AST SpaceMobile (700mhz and 850mhz) for AT&T, GlobalStar (unknown frequency) for Apple, Iridium (unknown frequency) for Samsung, and AST SpaceMobile (850mhz) for Verizon only work on frequency bands the carrier has licensed nationwide.  These systems broadcast and listen on multiple frequencies at the same time in areas much wider than normal cellular market license areas.  They would struggle with only broadcasting certain frequencies only in certain markets so instead they require a nationwide license.  With the antennas that are included on the satellites, they have range of cellular band frequencies they support and can have different frequencies with different providers in each supported country.  The cellular bands in use are typically 5mhz x 5mhz bands (37.5mbps total for the entire cell) or smaller so they do not have a lot of data bandwidth for the satellite band covering a very large plot of land with potentially millions of customers in a single large cellular satellite cell.  I have heard that each of Starlink's cells sharing that bandwidth will cover 75 or more miles. Satellite cellular connectivity will be set to the lowest priority connection just before SOS service on supported mobile devices and is made available nationwide in supported countries.  The mobile device rules pushed by the provider decide when and where the device is allowed to connect to the satellite service and what services can be provided over that connection.  The satellite has a weak receiving antenna and is moving very quickly so any significant obstructions above your mobile device antenna could cause it not to work.  All the cellular satellite services are starting with texting only and some of them like Apple's solution only support a predefined set of text messages.  Eventually it is expected that a limited number of simultaneous voice calls (VoLTE) will run on these per satellite cell.  Any spare data will then be available as an extremely slow LTE data connection as it could potentially be shared by millions of people.  Satellite data from the way these are currently configured will likely never work well enough to use unless you are in a very remote location.

      will this work for service in a plane?

      T-Mobile owns the PCS G-block across the contiguous U.S. so they can just use that spectrum to broadcast direct to cell. Ideally your phone would only connect to it in areas where there isn't any terrestrial service available.

      So how does this whole direct to satellite thing fit in with the way it works now? Carriers spend billions for licenses for specific areas. So now T-Mobile can offer service direct to customers without having a Terrestrial license first?
