I go by several sites a day and zero work still. Very disappointed, not hating on the info here but I always had my doubts on the upgrade here. Figured we would also be almost dead last as usual. The red headed step child area.

 

It is a breath of fresh air to see some work in New Orleans though.

Think you found a new LTE site in your area? Please help us by getting some information from the site. If you find a new LTE site in the market or what you may think is a new site, drive close to wha

And of course I saved the best of last, the Addis, LA site (interesting site). Only 2 sectors on this one by design since there's really nothing on the backside of this one except for marsh/fields, e

The legacy site that just won't stop. Downtown Baton Rouge legacy rebuild.  New single band antennas, new coax, and legacy cabinets moved from the roof to the sidewalk during the building construction

I live in a small town directly in between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, and my friend (who is on AT&T) gets about 20 Mbps at home. I was just wondering when both Baton Rouge and New Orleans gets LTE, how far will it extend? Do I have a chance of getting it?

You can basically say every Sprint cell site is being upgraded in this area.

New Orleans is supposed to be launched in January, and we only two months away I hope we start to see more action, it's taking them forever and 3G speeds here are really bad.

 

Every market has several stages:

  • Mobilization - this is when crews show up and prepare for their first site conversion
  • Active - this is when the first sites have been accepted by Sprint from the OEM
  • Discoverable - this is when Sprint stops blocking complete LTE sites and allows customers to use what limited service is available
  • Prelaunch - this is when the completed LTE sites are completely live and open and Sprint starts acknowledging service is active, but isolated in coverage
  • Launch - this is when Sprint put out a Press Release that the market is now live and coverage shows on their maps, however coverage is still usually not 100% at market Launch
  • Complete - after 100% of the sites are completely converted, the market is complete

New Orleans may or may not be to launched state by January. But should be at least at Prelaunch. We should start getting an idea in the next two weeks, when sites start going live around the market.

The press release from Sprint stated we would have LTE in New Orleans and Baton Rouge by the end of the year. Meaning as in at least one tower would let you connect in each city.

 

I don't see it happening right now.

Riding across town and checked a few sites. Still behind and nothing started.

 

I see the famous sherwood and coursey site has 3 evdo carriers now. Steadily throwing stuff at it instead of adding another site and fixing the real problem of the site covers too many Sq miles in a large city area.

 

Speed test on Channel 175

Are there any new updates? i thought we were going to start seeing some LTE form this tower, is 3G better?

 

I rode by it today and a work was still being done atop the tower. I Didn't think this kind of stuff was plug and play anyway. Looks like robert was right about that 3 week time span for a tower to be completed.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are as many Link5G sites as there are reserved small cells from franchisees in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them. — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and coule potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
