In building reception will improve as well

Didn't we already talk about how smr won't penetrate our dang stucco houses with the wire mesh as well as higher frequency ;) jk....kinda. It will help :)

They are starting the ABQ market with the site next to my house. I just ran into subcontractors for Ericsson who are starting to upgrade my site in El Valle de Arroyo Seco, New Mexico. Unbelievable!!!

OK. I've now uploaded pics. I talked with the guys there. They are electricians hired by SBA. SBA is subcontracted to Ericsson. They are here to install the RRU's only today. My site here did no

It will not penetrate stucco better. But it will penetrate the roof and windows better resulting in much improved reception. The larger the wavelength, the harder it is to get through the stucco Faraday cage.

I am not worried about my house as it is brick. I have problems at my work. I work in the Wells Fargo building on Louisiana and it would be nice to have a signal when I enter inner rooms.

When there was smr testing at the Yale and Cesar Chavez site last fall I was picking up signal in basements all around UNM. Places that never had signal before.

Exactly what I want.

 

Also I visited 6 sites that were accepted over the past three months and all of them have legacy removed. I need to upload the speeds I was getting from these towers. I liked it.

This should me amazing, because I live 3.1 miles away from the nearest tower, and have no service in my house, and terrible service outside. I usually have to keep my phone on the windowsill if I'm expecting a call.

In the meantime, you could definitely see about getting an airave from Sprint for free. It will give you native coverage in your house so you don't have to worry about missing phone calls.

I didn't get a chance to do an actual speed test, but I got way better speeds than I usually do along Central and at Uptown today. I managed to stream from iTunes Match with no issues while driving on Central from Juan Tabo to I-25, whereas I would usually end up losing the connection so badly that iTunes forgot what song I was listening to. Same thing in Uptown - streaming usually lags into nonexistence once I get off I-40, but today it stayed crystal clear all the way through parking.

So I got this text message from sprint

 

SprintFreeMsg: Over the next month, the new network will be largely completed in your area. See new phone offer at http://sprint.us/upgrade1 Reply S to stop.

 

Now what am I to believe? I sure do not think there will by any LTE in Alamogordo, or even Las Cruces either.

It might have been sent to everyone connected to our core, aka everyone in our market.  I, however, did not get it.

Do we know if other markets from other users who got this have seen LTE within the next month?

I remember like a week before El Paso was publicly announced with LTE, an old friend of mine got that text. And isn't El Paso technically in the Albuquerque market?

So if a tower is NV, is it also capeable of 800 lte and voice? What is the delay for turning those on too in areas not close to the border?

Yes of the tower has three rrus per sector it is capable. However without seeing it and determining if Alamogordo is in the ibez.

      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?
