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

Now that sites are starting to go live, I'll start mapping with Sensorly. I drive a truck 10 hours a day and cover from Ontario to Temecula, and commute daily between Menifee and Bloomington. So that will cover the 15 and 215 freeways.

 

My only concern is that my phone gets quite warm when I leave it mapping for a long time. Any tips on using Sensorly? Perhaps settings so I can leave it mapping most of the time.

I was sitting in Corona when all of a sudden I got this. Yes, that's 4G in Corona. Weird thing is I wasn't able to use it. I had to force my phone into CDMA only mode to send this. I tried rebooting my phone and all. Hopefully it's more than just a test.

BTW, this signal should be coming from the tower on Magnolia and the 15 fwy. Across from Jack in the Box. (By the fuel depot for trucks)<br />Speed Test Results 4G & 3G<br />4ypy9y5e.jpghyhe2ade.jpg<br />Sent from my LG Optimus G<br />

Had the same thing happen to me in Temecula off of Winchester right after Jefferson it came on for about a minute and I started to map it was really weak though I tried doing a speedtest and got 3 megs down and it cut out as it was doing an upload test.

The suspect LTE in Corona is further up the hill in Eagle Glen (South on I-15), I mapped a few blocks on my drive home. Did a speed test too. That's about 800% better than my DSL, so I'll take it.Screenshot_2013-04-04-19-17-29.png

I mapped a little part of Magnolia on the way back to my truck terminal. I didn't get any LTE driving down Promenade until hitting 6th street. You can definitely see stronger signals further south, closer to Cerritos.

Sitting at 6th Street and Temescal Rd, after updating my PRI and Profile I was able to do a speed test. Here's the results.

After that my phone went back to it's flakey self. I love this phone, but now that LTE is turning on, I might have a defective one. It gets extremely hot on the back right below the camera. Had to revert to 3G to send this.

I mapped from Corona to Temecula in route to a pick up. Look at the insane speed in Temecula. Streaming video loads super quick. BTW, no issues with Temecula tower as far as data and my phone.post-11234-13652142660931_thumb.jpgpost-11234-1365214280696_thumb.jpg

Quick question how do you know you're connected to a NV tower? besides having 1 Mbps down cause sometimes I get up to .6 download and .9-1.0 upload so I'm not sure. Near Bloomington High school there's a tower that gives me 1.6 Mbps, but I tested that during 6 am.

Does anyone know what is going on in the Coachella Valley area (i.e. Palm Springs) wrt LTE rollout? There was a lot of work being done until February and now everything is really quiet. Not a single LTE tower in operation yet. Is the backhaul not ready? Meanwhile San Diego and Orange County are firing up cells like crazy!

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). They do have a reserve level. Nationwide 800Mhz is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  T-Mobile did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, FWA Mobile in RVs in Walmart parking lots working where mobile phones need all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71, 90% 5g.  93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77 also with its shorter range.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline June 1 for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio covering 27500-28350Mhz expiring 6/8/2028. No reported sightings.  Buildout notice issue sent by FCC in March 5, 2024 https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/letterPdf/LetterPdfController?licId=4019733&letterVersionId=178&autoLetterId=13060705&letterCode=CR&radioServiceCode=UU&op=LetterPdf&licSide=Y&archive=null&letterTo=L  No soecific permits seen in a quick check of Columbus. They also have an additional 200Mhz covering at 24350-25450 Mhz and 24950-25050Mhz with no buildout date expiring 12/11/2029.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
