Once again' date=' thanks a lot for a quick reply. I do not have sprint yet, but I will be switching to it on the 27th due to expenses with other carriers. How can I know which areas have been upgraded/prepared for LTE and is just waiting to be launched? And according to the deployment page, San Diego is only at 15%, so we aren't too far behind. But sensorly doesn't show any active LTE in San Diego?[/quote']

 

Sensorly does show some active LTE in San Diego. The San Diego, IE and OC markets are literally being turned on and testing right now, gradually and slowly as towers are completed. Who knows- maybe by the 27th you will see LTE where you live.

1X800 slowly turning on in North Corona. Some sites are still on 1xRTT down south Corona.  Pretty excited as this will help with a lot with battery life

If you go back to September there was no LTE in LA at all. Now there is LTE everywhere. I know it is tough to be patient, but Robert has told us many times that things will start happening fast. He

B25 LTE switched on the towers between Indio and just outside Blythe on I-10, nice long stretch. Cactus City rest stop, Chiriaco Summit, Desert Center, all the way to the Wiley's Well rest area have u

There are several 3G Upgraded towers in your local area. 3 in particular bordering Fontana/Bloomington. Once LTE starts going live, I would imagine that it wouldn't take very long to see some decent LTE coverage in your area.

 

By the way, since you said several, does that mean sprints network site lies? Cause they show a lot more towers saying they have received some sort of upgrade.

Upgrades can be anything within the past 6 months. It could be network vision upgrades. It could be legacy bandaid fixes. Hell it can even be maintenance for network vision towers. it's a never ending process for sprint in keeping towers up and running with minimal problems for the end user. They will always be on the lookout for places where they need to improve but in the next 3-6 months you can be sure that most of what shows up on Sprints site are NV upgrades.

Like lilotimz said, network.sprint.com doesn't necessarily lie, it just doesn't tell you exactly what those updates pertain too. It could be additional T1 lines for the legacy equipment, adding new carriers to existing cells for more capacity, or it very well could be NV upgrades. It's hard to tell. What we know for sure are the towers that have been accepted with NV upgrades. And there are far fewer of those than what you see on network.sprint.com. For now anyway.

So the 3 I was told that are upgraded that surrounds that area are the NV towers, are the ones ready for the upgrade?

Not totally sure I understand the question. They have already been upgraded to NV equipment. They're just waiting for Alcatel Lucent to start turning on the 4G side of the equipment.

 

You might consider becoming a site sponsor. Then you could see the maps for yourself, and you'll have an idea of where to start looking for LTE.

I work in Banning, CA. Any hope for LTE in the next two months? I believe there is only one tower here.

 

Don't know if it will be that soon, but the sites there are already bring worked on and they will receive LTE.

Thank you Robert. These are the kind of terrible speeds I get in the office.

Really?! Did you get any speedtests or map it on sensorly?

I've got an iPhone, but will try to get a screenshot of SpeedTest today at lunch, now that I know where the tower is. Great to see even one LTE go live in this area.. hopefully it will stay live and the others in the area will come up quickly as well!

Hi I'm in hemet, any LTE updates? Please and Thanks

I live in Hemet too, and Sprint coverage is not good at all.. They really need to add another tower. Frustrates me that other carriers put their equipment up on the Hemet High's Football light towers, but not Sprint.. As soon as you walk in the door of the high school you go to extended 0. That whole stretch on Stetson and to the south of Hemet out by the Western Center.. is almost nothing.. the two schools off State street there get no signal either. I did see Sprint finally did accept one tower in Hemet, but it isn't LTE live yet.

I use to live off state by diamond valley school and it was bad drop calls no bars at all sometime the evo just had an X by the bars. I'm of Kirby now and I get very good almost full bars, I did see a yellow sprint truck on Florida and Kirby heading east I wonder if they are the ones doing the work?

now we can expect to see more towers going live every week?

 

Yes, this is likely. Stay tuned. I should have acceptance reports every few days for this market in the Sponsor section and maps.

      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?
