Network Vision/LTE - Tampa Market

[Wildman]

I am now wondering, with all the work being done in the Miami market, are resources being focused there for deployment before moving to other Florida markets?

I doubt it. When I worked for Goff we didn't go to Miami so someone was there doing work. Another thing to add is a tower company can also sub out their work to other contractors even from out of state. That may make some sense if there are bonuses to be considered.

 

The Miami deployment looks strange to me at least on Sensorly. If you look at most of the other deployment areas there is a clear path where they are going. Northern California is a good example as you can see them working to Sacramento. Miami seems to be spots here and there. Makes me think there might be 2 or 3 tower companies working..

Though it may not feel like it, work is occurring in all Florida peninsula markets. I just talked to an Ericsson engineer yesterday. Expect the first Orlando sites to start appearing very soon...Jacksonville, Tampa and SW Florida very shortly afterward.

I think I would take a walk off the Skyway if it wasn't for this site

I know we've all been actively seeking out the first LTE sites in Tampa/St. Pete, but wondering about Orlando. Are there as many folks actively watching for a site to pop up and put it on Sensorly? I only say this as Robert mentioned that he talked to an Ericsson engineer and that we could expect the first Orlando sites to start appearing very soon...Jacksonville, Tampa and SW Florida very shortly afterward. Seeing that would provide some optimism...

[Feech]

You are right sir. I'm not sure if anyone has checked in from the Orlando market at all. I already follow Jacksonville, Miami, and of course our thread.

[S4GRU]

Orlando is not a very active market for S4GRU members. I can only think of two off the top of my head. We even have more members in the Panhandle market than Orlando.

Makes sense.. Florida in general is a transient state. It seems like no one here is actually from here. Orlando would probably be even more so with the reasons people actually go there.. Time to dig in the Orange County permit site and see what I can find..

Thinking about taking a motorcycle ride out that way and see what I can find. Good excuse to ride, not like I need one though.

I'm a native in the Orlando market......one of a few though...The only thing I can report is ehrpd in Port Saint Lucie, We have had that for probably 2 weeks now.

Hey guys, I'm an Orlando market guy... I just don't post much I just watch the experts on all things Sprint LTE. ha. I live in Deland which is about 45 minutes north of Orlando and 30 minutes west of Daytona. I don't get out to Orlando to often, but I'm in Daytona almost every day. I have been checking for eHRPD and have not found any yet. If I ever find anything I'll be sure to post about it here and of course run sensorly, but I KNOW people will beat me to it! ha.

Well I am hoping that Orlando, by showing some activity, will provide us folks in the Tampa/St. Peter area for some Hope and Change. (Please, no political comments on that pun).

[kennymills1985]

I see, you Tampa people are just using me in hopes that when we start you start soon after ha I'll be on the lookout though can't wait for it to start popping up around here.

Don't take it like that it's all love in the I4 corridor lol

I am from Florida... I am a rare breed though I did take a 16 year detour in VA.

Just sucks in general now. Tampa used to be a very good market for Sprint data.

[thtguyuknw]

OK so I have tested all over Tampa on my way home today. By my office near the Fairgrounds. Ybor, Downtown, Westshore, and the Vets/Suncoast all the way up to NPR, even tested in a few spots in NPR. All I can say is pitiful results, it has actually gotten way worse in the last few months. My OG EVO would at least get around 600K in most places except my office. most my tests today were below 200 down, and below 100 up. The best tower I can connect to is my AirRave it gives me 2.5Mb/sec 3G so it wasn't my phone.

Everyone is testing, thus slowing the network.

Robert reported that the site at Channelside should be up and running 4G.. He reported complete
