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

The pluses appear to be new sites, as they are not currently part of the network according to the data we have.

Not that we can mention publicly*

They're not really lining up with other sources either...?

 

Those are the EP90XS, EP92XS, EP85XD, & EP85XCs locations.

 

Cough.. you're looking at the legacy sites info & not our new ones....

1-2 flagpole(I believe) sites up by far east Paseo Del Norte just started broadcasting LTE in the past few minutes. Thank goodness because that's been a Sprint wasteland for a long long time.

The ABQ sites were already going to be in the next NV Sites Update map, but I was not aware of the El Paso ones. :tu:

I'm in contact with the director of RF ENG for the SW US...

Can you find out any information for the Las Cruces, Alamogordo area? LC is far behind for being a collage town. My wife works at a medical plaza off E Loman and can't get signal inside the building at all.

Just from what he posted there are at least 6 sites going up over the next 18 months including 1 east of I-25. 1 of the south side sites seems to be a colocation with Verizon that recently got shot down by NIMBYs in the area, last I read about it anyway.

Ya, I haven't been in las cruces in awhile used to work there .. it should have b26 live now as it's not part of the Ibez market ... las cruces is also a growing market and a college town .. sprint need to invest going up us 70 as well... and add as much band 41 as they can

I will check into it for you ... all three LC alamagrdo need more towers. He told me LTE plus deployment is on going through 2019... I'm sure they will hit LC Alamogordo as well

So, I was able to confirm the pink crosses are planned sites

 

From matching up the map that I have with these planned sites.. they would surpass at&t in tower density in that area.. I'm going to try to get him to send me a full map

Quite an increase for Sprint in the 2H 2017 ABQ RootMetrics report. Still 4th place, but network reliability is nearly consistent across all 4 carriers.

Nice ! 7mbps on average after just a few b41 upgrades .. once more upgrades to b41 happen .. sprint could make a run for the number 1 spot in Albuquerque

The Samsung galaxy s8/s8+ are getting the software update for sprints calling plus. I just don't know if it depends on the network for it to work or if it just needs the software update

It only requires software update to the user. Calling plus is still in beta, but available on the whole network.

    • 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?
