Network Vision/LTE - Tampa Market

From the permits I have seen I would say anywhere between 6 and 10 contractors. Each contractor may have about 4 crews. Keep in mind that each contractor may sub his work out to another contractor too. Yes both sides of the bay same time

 

 

Thanks Feech. As always, you're the man.

I drive by there everyday so I will keep a lookout also.

 

I too drive by everyday on way home from work.

 

I work in Sable Park and the tower nearest me hasn't had any work on it yet. and we need it. my speeds are ussually around 120K up and 60K down. very sad.

I'll be driving to work via Suncoast/Lutz-Lake Fern/Dale Mabry tomorrow AM. Will end near Dale Mabry and Cypress. I'll keep Sensorly running on the commute.

 

If Sensorly is continuously running then your phone probably won't search for 4G. Run the LTE Discovery app and when/if it picks something up then switch to Sensorly.

It will sometimes...in between the point uploads. Change your settings in Sensorly to upload only on Wifi while LTE hunting. Just don't forget to set it back later. Picks up just fine then.

Any word on western Pasco, New Port Richey, Holiday, Tarpon Springs.... that area...

 

I have been looking at the towers near me. one off Mitchel Ranch, one off Main and Rowan, and a couple others and I don't see any panels up yet.

 

Haven't seen any new Panels on the SEA Castle at Gulf Harbors either.

I ran LTE Discovery on the drive this morning, on the same route I mentioned in my earlier message. Came up with nothing.

 

I don't know if it's the way my phone works, or the behavior of the app...but the app reports LTE, for the split second immediately after coming out of airplane mode. It then progresses through unknown (<1sec), then 1x (<1sec), before settling on eHRPD (until next airplane mode cycle).

 

To keep the app from stopping the scan on each false positive, I enabled the option to keep running, even after discovering LTE.

The phantom LTE is actually something the phone is picking up and reporting to the app. Its been seen a lot on EVO LTE's in areas that are actively deploying. Someone suggested that the phantom LTE blip may suggest a blocked LTE connection in the area.

Anyone picking LTE on Dale Mabry? I pick it up and dropped it again. Until i got back home.

 

Wear did you get it? I mapped.4g there from around Fletcher to near Van Dyke. Have at Sensorly.

Then it happened on my entire drive today. I live near SR52 and Moon Lake Rd, in Pasco. From the time I left the driveway, until I arrived at the office in Tampa, it happened on every cycle. So either it is a false positive, or there's about to be a ton of LTE coming online very soon.

    • Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s. 
    • Still not seeing any ULS postings for pending T-Mobile UScellular merger in Dane county Wisconsin.
    • Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
    • Same with factory unlocked
