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

It is a good question and one that I share with you. I don't know what's the benefit of doing this is. My legacy site works just fine. And this is not going to improve its performance any anyways.

Thinking through this more, maybe for 1xAdvanced? Although, I doubt capacity is an issue.

Robert, so this means no LTE for El Paso TX?

 

No, that is not what it means. This doesn't apply to all towers, just the ones that have ground mount RRUs at this time. Towers that are capable of receiving the full NV upgrade, as well as adequate backhaul will still have LTE.

And it is not all Ground Mount sites. Just all the ones the guy I talked to have been to. There are indeed GMO sites that are getting LTE. No one needs to be concerned unless they live in El Valle de Arroyo Seco, New Mexico at this time.

It means no LTE for these ground mount sites until at least late 2014. That kind of sucks. I hope they will actually return to these sites for upgrades.

That's not true. There are GMO's with LTE installed now. Its just true of my site. I could have one of the 100 sites. We will see.

Next question should be' date=' are the "in progress" sites in ABQ need to be changed? Do they fit into the definition on Network Vision?[/quote']

 

No. They will still be marked In Progress and when they are accepted they will be marked red with 3G on the map. Many GMO sites will get LTE. But not mine now.

 

This is still a Network Vision upgrade and we track all NV upgrades. The LTE can be installed very quickly and easily when the backhaul arrives. It's not the end of the world, it just means LTE is not being installed now at my site with the work that is presently being done.

That sucks that your site isn't getting LTE right now. There has to be a very good reason as to why. Maybe the backhaul was going to be too high to justify the cost for right now, or they are piping it in from a different company than Windstream.

Or he's just the only sprint customer in the area and it's not worth it for them to upgrade it just for him ... :wall:

 

I may be the only Sprint customer on my sector.

Yeah. Verizon has LTE on my site. Their backhaul is microwave aimed toward Los Alamos.

I read this morning that El Paso is now on the Sprint LTE Coming Soon list. So this means the Albuquerque market full build sites are starting. A happy day for us here in New Mexico. And yes, New Mexicans consider El Paso ours. ;)

Okay, but if you New Mexicans want to claim El Paso, you also have to take Ciudad Juarez in a package deal. Good luck with that. Hope you brought your nunchuks and Kevlar.

 

:P

I know what you mean. However, I claim their LTE network! It's in my market, after all... :hee:

I just saw an Ericsson truck at the tower located at Yale and Caesar Chavez in abq! We might have something!

 

 

EDIT: Or it could be non-NV related maintenance since it was only an Erricson truck. I really hope not.

Question: is Ericsson or a subcontractor performing the work. I have been confused about that for a while.

Well that got butchered.

 

I understood haha. My understanding is that Ericsson is the supplier for our region. I was under the impression that Ericsson was running the NV operations for NM, but was hiring out the actual tower workers to install the equipment. I'm sure Robert will chime in and clear up that aspect. It could be that the Ericsson employee was checking out the site for work that is about to begin (I'm hoping for that!) or I think I may have heard that Ericsson is responsible for non-NV related maintenance on legacy equipment (I'm hoping it is not that!). Either way, I will run by the site again later and see if anything looks new.

I stop at that 7-11 at Yale and Chavez all the time. Also, I eat at the Quarters there occasionally. Not good BBQ, but convenient to my ABQ office.

 

Anywho...Ericsson could be at the site for NV related stuff or maintenance. The ABQ market is assigned to Ericsson for both. Keep an eye out for activity. ;)

I stopped by this site the other day and didn't see anything noteworthy. I will be back on Saturday for the UNM/UNLV baseball game and will check it out then again.

Talk about a conflict of interest. Which team to choose? Lol. UNLV or UNM?

If it was UNR, then that would be tough for me. But being from Northern Nevada, I can't stand the rebels. I will be rooting for the Lobos all the way!!!

    • T-Mobile Fires Back At AT&T After Their Statements On T-Priority
    • February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
