Feech

Recommended Posts

I map daily myself. I'm doing some mapping up around the new LTE tower at SR52 & I75. Getting ~15mbps down around 5 miles NW from the tower, off of Bellamy Brothers Rd...

Do you guys still think we will see a market launch by march

 

Don't sweat the launch thing. It's not like the day of the announcement that suddenly 1000 new towers light up. Just hope that we keep getting towers online

Yeah, launch is just a milestone. Ask the people in Austin what was different the day of launch and now a week later.

No, there's a chance of 40% of the towers to be online by then; which is around when they call the market "Launched". I doubt every tower will be online before 2014. It could even take years.

At the rate sites are coming online at the moment, I would not be surprised to see a Launch later this month, even more likely by next month. Also, it will not take years to finish off the whole market. While it's not going to be done as quickly as was hoped, it will probably be complete, or nearly complete later this year.

I got LTE on I-4 and I-75 today, never got it there before, don't know if its the tower at that intersection with NV pannels or the MLK or 301 one that's been online.

 

I've been getting it in the morning and evening when I pass through there to get on I-4 from northbound I-75. Signal is weak, been watching for the tower there to go live. Wasn't on my trip home today. Or, perhaps they could be testing. Anyhow, I have been getting a weak signal and thought it was from MLK or US301.

40% will still give you pretty good coverage but if your trying to stream Netflix in a car it won't stay connected very long.

I stream Netflix all time while driving my kids have been loving the LTE just as much because of that lol

    • 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
