Network Vision/LTE - SF Bay Market

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I live in the the Los Gatos Hills area, specifically on Brush Road: http://goo.gl/maps/r4jf

 

Any update on when Sprint's LTE network will be deployed to my area? It's a little farther south than San Jose, but the map shows that I should be covered: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-75-sprint-knows-the-way-to-san-jose-sprints-south-bay-market-will-receive-network-visionlte-deployment-in-the-second-round/

 

In that article it states that deployment to the south bay should start after the San Francisco LTE network has been deployed. Any word on that too?

 

Let me know, thanks!

San Jose can have LTE after they give back Brent Burns to the Wild.

Any updates on South Bay Market? I live in Salinas and work in all of south Monterey County (Gonzales, Soledad, Greenfield, King City) and the data speeds just keep getting worse. King City and Greenfield had decent speeds until schools let out for summer. Salinas has some spots where download on 1X is "faster" (if you can ignore the higher latency) than EVDO. I'm talking about the difference between 5kbps on EVDO vs 30kbps on 1X. Either way, they are not useful.

If I don't fall behind on articles because of the holiday, the South Bay market schedule update article should post on Thursday.

cool thanks. I was just looking at the Network Vision/LTE Deployment Running List thread which you updated. It shows the SF market doesn't even have one LTE site available yet (expected in October). I take it's going to be several more months of waiting before deployment begins down here. :cry:

New members, before posting new threads inquiring about Network Vision in your market, please check for preexisting articles or threads that may answer your questions.

 

For example, see this article from The Wall:

yea thar Article says "Mid 2012" That was last month. hence why I asked

 

Please check this thread for latest status on market availability. Also do not confuse "1st LTE sites" with "Anticpated launch." The Jan 2013 is the anticipated official launch date for the SF market but at this rate anything can happen it can be pushed back further pending any delays. This is all we know at this point.

We reported SF work would start in August and the first sites should start being completed in September: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-293-san-francisco-bay-area-network-visionlte-deployment-schedule-update/

However, the South Bay work appears ahead of schedule.

I'm not sure if you the admins want to merge this with the thread talking about coverage coming from Appleland, but I thought it was interesting. Maybe it's also coming from Google's campus? I haven't a clue. It's very interesting though, to say the least.

    • T-Mobile Fires Back At AT&T After Their Statements On T-Priority
    • February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

    • FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
