Network Vision/LTE - Tampa Market


Feech

Recommended Posts

 

And that is the tower that is showing on sensorly. I almost wonder if it was the Ericsson tech that mapped it.

 

I am heading up that way now. see if I can get some LTE love on my note.

 

Did you see what I said earlier about the other sites?

I guess this definitely means the 4G core is ready to go for the market. I won't be surprised if we start seeing towers popping up all over the place now.

 

 

this is really part of the tampa market???

 

and the first?

 

you guys are talking bout springhill right?

 

hopefully it rolls as fast if not faster than the miami market but i doubt it. It would be beautiful to wake up tomorrow to some sort of magical lte test at railroad but who am i kidding gonna be checking allot more now too

Tux Railroad is going to be a little bit.. I didn't see any evidence of backhaul being done yet. I said this before but there is more towers in that area that don't show backhaul yet. You will be a happy camper when it goes live

yeah that was me. I would have mapped some more but it is really dark up that way at night and I thought I heard some banjos.

 

Will try to head back up this weekend and hit up other towers in the area.

So the tower I listed a few weeks back as having their panels up is the site at 24026 SR 54. I will keep my eye on the phone as I go through there the next few days.

 

Point Pleasant BLVD is a little out of my way. anyone up in Wesley Chapel want to run by that tower. It is back behind Precision Kia on SR 54

when I was about 2 miles from the tower I toggled and it still came back 3G, it was so dark I was trying to watch the road not my phone. once I got to the tower which is in a small repair shop parking lot. I looked at my phone and it was showing 4G instead of 3G. So I guess I would say it picked it up on its own.

 

I am sporting the Note II now not the EVOLTE any longer. So if any EVOLTE users decide to travel into the wild unknows you guys will have to let me know how easily it picks up the signal. In some ways I do miss the EVOLTE. it felt sturdier with all the metal compared the Note II which is all plastic. and the kick stand, I miss that the most :)

That's good work up there tonight. The Tampa market thanks you.

 

The Pasco permit site is by far the best I have seen. You can actually search by Antenna add. Basically no fun searching that site today. I will say it gave us another couple of contractors we didn't know about until today.

 

I'm think about going to some of the permitting sites in a market that is not being worked by Ericsson. Looking at the permits today in that area I was surprised to see that it appears there is no rhyme or reason to the sites and the contractors. I spent as much time on the Pasco site as possible and it looks like the tower techs are passing other sites being done by other contractors to get to other sites.

    • 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?
