Here are some updated pics... "around" the site at Murphy Dr. @ Trans :) Work should be started there shortly.

And some other looks at that site at Division @ W Esplanade... just added views of each sector.

I hope things start moving along!

Those RRU looking boxes on that pole have been found on other AT&T sites. But indeed those panels you took a picture of are the ones that Sprint use. And they are rather unique for Sprint's rollout. Looks like their bucket bag is hanging up in the tower as well. I'm guessing you caught the picture while they were on lunch break.

 

Excellent pictures! I did go through your other pictures and sent the site IDs to Robert to get them included on the In Progress list. I see you are a sponsor now, so if you see any other sites with RRU/panel work going on be sure and post a picture and drop S4GRU a PM with the site ID and link to the picture to get them the included on the list.

 

One request.. on that site with the "fat" looking panel on that one sector, I can almost make out the logo on the bottom of that panel. If you can find another site with them or zoom in further to that panel or something to read that logo that would be great!

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

Nothing new on Sensorly this evening.. I was thinking we would see something in Kenner with the second Kenner site that was reported. Think it was more towards the airport if I remember right.

I didn't know there were reports of work in Kenner. As of 2 days ago, no work on the building at Williams and vets, or the tower by W. Esplanade.

 

I need to revisit Kenner and the eastbank sites south of W. Metairie this weekend. I have been to every other site on the eastbank in Metairie, and to ones along Pontchartrain Expy all the way through the city, and the only additional one there with work is the one by Claiborne.

 

I'll keep my eyes peeled, and will also get you the logo from that other panel.

 

...also, no LTE on any of the other sites in progress, that I have reported about, or the one near Claiborne (within last day).

Whoa. 2nd kenner site? Any info on which one? I will have a chance in the morning to check it out if I know where to look. Haven't had time to navigate the sponsor section yet so maybe that is hindering me. But if you have any specifics and want me to swing by shoot me a pm (i think we can do that here).

 

I will also be at the upgraded Laplace site tomorrow and will report if anything has been turned on there.

It was in the Gulf Coast thread where a member stated he spotted lte for a little bit. Or maybe it was in New Orleans east. I was looking at some things this morning and could have been confused.

As of today, still absolutely zip in Houma.

 

Keeping an eye on all the sites that way?

 

Watch the tower in Cocodrie be broadcasting LTE and we would never know it. HA! Or the tower down in Fourchon. Climbed that thing many times.

I just saw the comment that I think you are referencing and they were talking about the tower by Old Six Flags in the East.

Yep, you're right its the same site that was found last week. So back to the single LTE tower for NOLA.

There was an Ericsson ban on the 30.002823,-90.03762 tower today, maybe they're going to start working here soon.

 

That's my favorite google map satellite image, the AT&T van is leaving the scene of the crime!

Haven't seen anything new on sensorly or anywhere, hope someone finds something soon.

 

Checked around other sites menotned. Nothing yet , it was worth the drive to New Orleans east to see 20 mb down and 10 up. Had some free time mapped out the area a bit more.

 

Hope to hear something soon thanks all for updates

 

It won't be long now and sites will be lighting up here.

That towers has the worst service i have ever seen, 3G is just an icon because it doesn't really work, not even close to the tower. It can really use an upgrade.

Went by the Port Allen site where RRUs have been up since Thanksgiving or so. No LTE but the site was crawling with workers. I didn't have my good cam otherwise I could have read the logos on the trucks. Two guys were up on the tower about a third the way up messing with the cable rack.

 

Makes me wonder if there was an issue and they are revisiting. Or did the first crew install just the RRUs and panels due to no cables?

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.

      Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.

      What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
