Caught some surprise 4G at NASA in new Orleans east today. Caught some of it on sensorly. Seen kinda far away for the I10/510. Wonder if something went live?

I'm new so bear with me.

 

I saw a tower near Claiborne and I-10 going to Metairie across from the Arena and Superdome. It looked new or I haven't really payed attention to it.

 

Could be a cow for the super bowl.

Two Sensorly tracks near Bonnabel and I-10 look interesting.... anybody checked it out lately?

 

I drove around for awhile yesterday trying to connect. My Theory is they turned on the tower at i-10 near City Park exit to test and it got picked up there and further up i-10 near the dome.

Maybe there might be progress in BR just yet. A site on a detour route on my way home had an ATT truck in the gate. There about 5 or 6 other trucks across the street. They had their little work area setup next to the manhole.

 

Could be install backhaul for the RRUs that have been up for a while or maybe just fixing the backhaul on the ATT side of the site.

I work near there. I'll see if I get anything tomorrow. Last I checked, there was no work being performed on the two towers nearest NASA and my work. We also got some faint 4G on the Paris Rd. Bridge and Paris Rd near the St. Bernard/New Orleans parish line the other day too. Not sure where it was coming from as of yet though.

 

NO 4g by nasa I live down the street. i drove up and down to folgers and back no 4g. I will try going to chalmette driving on Paris rd to see what is going on over there..

Anyone have pictures of the Cell on Wheels including the base yet? (I know I had said COW I'd have pictures of farm animals in this thread ;)

 

It is identical to the one in Metairie. I did not take pictures, since it was the same.

 

Here are pics of the one in Metairie:

No strain on air spectrum though. Plenty to go around. One could easily setup a point to point microwave backhaul from two sites with speeds of 10 megabit to 1 gigabit or more. All depends on the money you have for equipment.

 

If it was on licensed spectrum, you could shoot it straight down bourbon on fat Tuesday and never notice an issue at all.

    • Probably a lot of Midwest towers. Slight bias since Nebraska is a weird market, but there are tons of USCC sites that T-Mobile isn't yet co-located on. Think a similar situation in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Missouri. But some other markets, like yours, probably don't have that issue!
    • Sticky Customers - YES, and leave them flip to the T-Mobile PLMN when needed and they will be even more likely to Stick.
    • It seems to me that if the goal is to improve rural, the US Cellular buy-out would get them only part of the way there, considering there are plenty of rural areas that US Cellular does not serve.  But I also have a hard time reading it the way I think that article is, that the cost of this deal comes straight out of the $9 billion.  I mean, they're getting spectrum for their existing operations in US Cellular markets, including places that I wouldn't call rural.  (Roanoke, VA is the 9th largest city in the state, for example.)  It seems like some of it should be allocated to rural expansion, but certainly not the whole purchase price. There's also something to be said for getting the customer base of potentially sticky customers who have been used to US Cellular being the only game in town for potentially decades. - Trip
    • T-Mobile has stated 15% of their sites don't have 5g triband. In WV I know WISPs had a lot of 2.5GHz, but T-Mobile was trying to buy as much as possible. More rural FWA would be a big selling point that might overcome any soft bandwidth cap slight overages. Especially since UScellular likely started offering it on c-band.
