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.

    • T-Mobile has saved its 28Mhz mmWave licenses by using the point to point method to do environment monitoring inside its cabinets. The attachment below shows the antennas used: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/ApplicationSearch/applAdmin.jsp;JSESSIONID_APPSEARCH=LxvbnJuvusmIklPhKy6gVK7f9uwylrZ8LiNf3BqIKlDp3_5GxoBr!300973589!225089709?applID=14787154#   Here are the sites for Franklin county OH: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/attachments/attachmentViewRD.jsp?applType=search&fileKey=66518254&attachmentKey=21989782&attachmentInd=applAttach
    • Yep, there is a label on the side of the box but it doesn't provide any useful info that the city doesn't already provide (Crown Castle Solutions is the franchisee). You can see my graphical interpretation of the city's dataset here.

    • Totally agree.  In my county and surrounding counties, TM did not place n-41 on every site.  When I look at the sites in question, I probably would have not placed it there either.  I can find just a few with n-71 only and in most of those cases if you live there and know the probable usage of the residents, you would not do a full upgrade on those sites.  One site in particular is set up to force feed n-71 through a long tunnel on the Turnpike.  No stopping allowed in the tunnel. No stores, movie theaters, bathrooms, so n41 would be a waste.    n25 is not really needed either, so it is not there.  The tunnel is going through & under a mountain with more black bears than people.  TM was smart.  Get good coverage in the tunnel but do not waste many many thousands of dollars with extra unused spectrum. I also see sites with only n71 & n25.  Again this makes sense to me.  Depending on what county we are talking about, they moved much of their b25 from LTE to nr.  Some counties have more n25 than a neighboring county, but luckily, it is plenty everywhere.   When you are in a very rural area, n41 can run up the bills and then be barely used.  I am NOT finding sites that should have had n41 but TM failed to provide it.  They may have to come back later in a few years and upgrade the site to n41.  However, we just may eventually see the last little piece on Band 25 leave LTE and move to n25. I am not sure if the satellite to phone service is using band 25 G block as LTE or nr. We also can possibly have at least some AWS move from LTE to nr at some point.  Yes, everybody wants n41. it is not justified in some cases.  When I travel, I desire some decent service along the entire route but it does not have to be 1 or 2 gig download.   If I can get 50/5 on a speedtest with data that will flow and not stutter, I am very happy. Yes, they will swap out the USC gear.  TM needs to match their existing network. The USCC equipment did the job for years, but it is time to retire it.
