Very excited to see LTE underground on BART! I think they upgraded the DAS between Colma and SFO. I didn't get LTE underground anywhere else and the SINR was way too high to be coming from an abovegro

Got another B41 site with nearly maxed out speeds.   This is on Alameda near the Webster st tunnel.   Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Just had a friend come over to my office near 16th st and Bryant. Not only is he on NID 231 but on 1x800 too!

Did you guys catch the bsl on that 1x800 site? Interesting that it's not on Roberts mini map. But still good signs all around!

No, my friend didn't have signal check on his phone. Was looking at the engineering screen and it listed Secondary 800 as the band.

So how do I use the iPhone field test mode to determine what site my LTE is coming from?

 

There's no way to do it from the GCI alone. You have to do some detective work, get close to sites (~-70dm) and note down which GCI you're getting as a site note in SCP. Some markets with more members crowd source this and have extensive GCI to site mappings, but we don't really have the manpower out here.

Oh whoops. That was silly of me. In the Field Test menu, the relevant values are Cell Identity [GCI] (unique across all sites), and the Physical Cell Id [PCI] (unique within your market). You'll have to manually track which GCI + PCI map to a certain tower since you're on iOS :/

Thanks last night I was trying to use the Cell ID against the maps but was confused why they didn't match up.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined 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 could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s.

      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.
