Network Vision/LTE - Albuquerque market (including El Paso, Las Cruces, Santa Fe, Los Alamos, Roswell)

I forgot the tower outside of Hollowman already has 800 SMR. Should be coming online soon with LTE. They have had the microwave back haul in place for awhile now.

Post some pics of the Holloman site antennas some time when you get a chance. And a screen shot of being connected. Thanks!

Looks like Sprint is on the bottom and there is indeed an 800 RRU installed.  You may just have CDMA 800 for awhile.  But I'd take this is as good news.  Thanks for posting these.

They have had 800 SMR at this tower for about a year now. They did the 800 LTE upgrade to the tower in Alamogordo a couple of months ago. Still waiting for integration or activation. Data speeds have dropped to below 3/mb down during peek times. Sure could use some relief on B25

I've been picking up band 41 recently. I had it at Unser and Montano and from 4th and Montano up to San Mateo and Montgomery. Anyone else seeing it pop up?

B41 in New Mexico? I thought for sure Nokia lost the map.

They got directions from our fellow Mexicans below us. Hahaha

Sad day, I couldn't find anything. Do you remember exactly this screenshot was taken?

I was able to get signal early this morning and last night. Nothing now

So does anyone know if B41 is showing up in El Paso?

 

On a side note I had a person drop from my Framily plan. I took it as my son is getting old enough to carry a phone for emergency. I activated an old Samsung Epic that I had (I think I will use the upgrade for an iPhone later). It still connects to the WiMax 4G. Speed sucks (1.5/down .8/up).

I hope this is an indication that I might get B41 at my house when then get to that.

Access the engineering screens via ##debug# and take screenshots.

i wish I had the time to head out there tonight. I want to know if carrier aggregation was activated right away as well

It's date night for me, looks like we might be taking a detour. Besides what is a better date then to witness the first sights of B41 in Albuquerque?!?!?!

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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?
