There are few places with CA I've noticed

I believe it was active on the MMs, but the apparent 8T8R or whatever was going on there didn't seem to have CA. Was there for 2 hours and never saw CA.

We have 2 B25 5x5 and B25 CA (edit: CA on limited number of sites)

With Sprint I'm not surprised

I could be wrong isn't there a spectrum swap in your area?

So you just need pictures of the equipment?

Yep and whatever info you can grab via engineering and APsps.

I'll try to make a field trip down to one then.

Basically the point of this exercise is to identify what B41 equipment is broadcasting that oddball 29 GCI and if it could be the Ericsson 8T8R B41 radios. Appreciate whoever can contribute to this search.

Prime candidates for finding that mystery GCI is these sites.

Chop Chop!

 

 

If it helps, first and third as of 4 days ago only had 1 B25/26 antenna, second link is a GMO flagpole site with no LTE broadcasting, and the 4th is broadcasting b41. I didn't see exactly what type of antenna it had.

 

 

I can confirm, first site only has dual-band equipment.

 

Only saw B25 in the vicinity of the second. 

 

Was never very close to the 3rd so pretty sure that's not it.

 

Did see MM B41 near the 4th. Was an accident on the hwy so wasn't paying close attention.

 

Can confirm MM B41 on Wyoming and Menaul and on the site at Louisiana and Indian Ridge.

 

The odd B41 carrier and 4th carrier were strongest on Menaul near San Mateo so my guesses would be San Mateo and Aztec, or Cutler and Jefferson.

Would this be the first four carriers of band 41?

No. We found what appeared to be a Samsung 8t8r test site many months ago with confirmed 4 carriers.

 

Also HC mini macro sites runs 4 B41 carriers.

 

So this would be potentially the first 4th carrier 8t8r Nokia or Ericsson setup.

So should I still go to one of these sites or?

I would check out ones in the vicinity of the areas I listed. Interested in seeing what equipment is broadcasting the 48529 GCI. Also to see if you can verify the 4 different B41 carriers as well.

Please don't quote unrelated posts.... that's likely AT&T or Verizon.

    • 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?
