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

[techcj_manzer]

Also some news, within the past two weeks or so the Tijeras/EMountains site started broadcasting B25

I can't recall this specific screenshot but I know I've seen it in several locations. One that I do remember was near San Mateo and Montgomery

I have found it at San Mateo and academy, Wyoming and academy and downtown.

The earfcn is 8265

The earfcn is 8265

how widespread is it ? And how are the speeds on it ?

Center frequency 1952.5 so a 5 MHz carrier in 1950-1955 pit of their 1945-1955 holdings.

Depends. Downtown less than 1m. Far northeast heights was running 11-15 midday.

Awesome. Thank you. Need to figure out how to calculate this.

Earfcn calculator. Plenty of then on Google and the app store.

Do you think they will be able to aggregate this with 8665 being that the entire city has been upgraded to the new RRUs? I don't see any permits for band 41 so I would think that would be the easy way to increase speeds or deployment of band 25 small cells.

B25CA is in testing.

This is my go to.

Yes it does. Looks like a 5x5 carrier in the PCS E Block.

 

EDIT: My bad I thought you were referring to the second carrier not B25 CA.

It's in testing. Not that it is live on the network.

Well Alamogordo has second carrier now. Was hoping for better speeds. But it beats the .5mb I have been getting for the last six months.

Did you run the entire test at that signal strength?

It doubles capacity. So if you were sitting at 0.5Mbps before, seeing 3Mbps is a decent improvement. Not ideal, but an improvement.

Most of the speed test range from -102 to -112. Sector two is the one that covers my house. It is very congested. I wish they would fix B26. It was on for a couple of days about six months ago. Nothing since. Can get the 1X800 but not the B26.

Now these are speeds I have never gotten on Sector 2 even when they first turned on B25.

 

I know it won't stay that way but WOW what an improvement. If it stays above 3mb durning peek times I will be very happy

Second carrier results on the Westside off of Unser and Ladera. As I drove further away and jumped onto band 26 I was getting about 14 Mbps down.

At least one Tower in Ruidoso NM is transmitting LTE. Don't know about second carrier yet. Speed was slow but I only had a brief window to run one test. Will do more next time I go up

LTE plus deployment is going very slow in El Paso .. We still only have 1 tower live with band 41 and no other equipment has been added on any other site

And no additional permits have been issues.  I was hoping they'd start going for at least 5 per quarter, since they're using the cheaper mini-macro option for new B41 deployments.
