Network Vision/LTE - Riverside/San Bernardino Market (Inland Empire)

Recommended Posts

There are some sites near me that, according to the "NV Sites Complete" map, have icons that the "NV Complete" legend defines as "3G = EVDO hardware upgrades are complete and accepted. New backhaul may not be active." The speeds I am getting are not that great - does that mean the new backhaul is not active? Is there anyway to look up if the new backhaul for a site is active?

I thought I attached the picture but I guess not. Anyway I had 2.40 down and 1.00 up and my ping was 120ms. That's the fastest 3G I've ever seen!

 

 

 

How fast was the speed?

Sprint brings Network Vision 3G upgrades online in clusters. So backhaul, may or may not be the culprit in your instance. If your site is complete, they will inspect and accept it. But your device will stay on the legacy side until the all the sites within your cluster are done. Then they will do E911 drive testing for the whole cluster. If it passes, they will bring online the 3G Network Vision side and turn off the legacy.

For those of you in Riverside, I have posted a map in the Sponsor's section for Riverside Network Vision permits. There aren't many by any means, but soon there should be many more. To view this map, you have to be a Sponsor.

it seems so ridiculous that you should have to get permits to work on your own cell site! yet another example of a big government out of control collecting taxes from every angle they can think of ...

Agreed, but they establish stuff like this because of people complaining about every little thing. From junk in the yard being a nuisance to the infamous "Cell signals give you cancer". But there has to be some order, so they set up rules like that.

I still think we're at least 45 days away.

Now that 30 days have passed, do you still think we are only 15 days out, or do you have a revised estimate as to when we might get turned on here in the ie?

LTE started lighting up in the market over a week ago. First two sites went live. One in Temecula and another in Claremont. They will continue with a few sites here and there and they will likely pick up steam in the next 2-3 weeks.

Is Claremont considered Inland Empire for Sprint's purposes? I know Claremont is East L.A. County so technically it should be San Gabriel Valley but the neighboring city Montclair is San Bernardino County.

 

Thanks for the help!

Sprint has Claremont in the Riverside/San Bernardino market, even though it is technically just barely inside LA County.

That makes sense the L.A. County cities near Claremont have Inland Empire Area Codes.. But that's good news for me! Hopefully I'll be able to send a donation you guys way pretty soon!

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 has been correct everywhere so far. I am just glad to have this website to let us know what to expect and when. At least we know a ballpark. B)

Knowing LA has LTE everywhere and is only at 43 and we're at 23 or halfway, is making me wonder that we just might see LTE pop up everywhere all at once. Just a thought. Wonder if that's how LA felt?

 

Not likely. Pretty much all the sites inspected and signed off as complete from Sprint are currently live. The odds of them going out and inspecting 100's of sites all at once and turning them on immediately is very, very low.

 

They haven't done anything like that in any market so far with the Network Vision program. And the most LTE sites ever accepted in one week is about 50-60. And even that is very uncommon.

wait okay this should've been a better comparison: San Diego is at 24%, and according to sensorly there's a good amount of LTE coverage for that amount. We're at 23% and all I see is temecula barley lighting up and San Dimas. Not to sound like a 6 year old who won't get his toy, but. What gives?

I think the percentage is refered to the amount of NV sites completed, not the amount of LTE coverage nor active LTE Sites

I know this isn't inland empire, but is there lte at Knott's berry farm? I saw some lte on sensorly on beach blvd right next to it but not inside it. The late signal from that road should reach there right?

I would think so, but the only way to know for sure is for someone to go in there and map it. Better take your charger with you, and an extra battery, lol.

    • February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

    • FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.

    • If anyone was curious what a flagpole site looks like after getting an n41 upgrade. Came across this one in Staten Island. Terrible wiring but decent speeds and great ping.
