Dkoellerwx Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 With a triband antenna. I was wondering. That's a weird route to go? I don't see another PCS RRU unless they're not done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyroned3222 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I was wondering. That's a weird route to go? I don't see another PCS RRU unless they're not done.There are 2 more on the other side of the tower sorry I wasn't able to get a good pic ..

tyroned3222 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Are you going to hit all the towers that had permits today?Yup! Alabama is still a no go ... stonewall is preparing for b41 ... constitution is a no go ....mesa is also still a no go although I saw people at the site today Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a second PCS capable antennas (tri-band in this case) you would expect to see two PCS RRUs per sector. So 6 in total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your area, since 1x800/B26 isn't possible each site has one antenna and one RRU per sector. A site that has a second antenna that is PCS capable (tri-band) I would expect to see a second PCS RRU on each sector. I do not see that. There is a B41 Mini-Macro, but no second PCS RRU. A site outside of the IBEZ has one antennas plus 1 PCS RRU and 1 SMR RRU (plus any B41 equipment). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the site is planned for a 4x4 PCS upgrade in the near future although I don't see PCS RRUs on the secondary PCS antenna right now... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When and got a few pics .. sorry about the quality I may have to get me a DSLR .. so, signal check pro is reading the sites as 3xca , but Samsung service mode does not confirm that.. all of the b25 sites are now running a second carrier got speeds close to 40 Mbps Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyroned3222 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 The only thing I have a concern with ... is that El Paso never had WiMAX .. maybe 1 or 2 sites .. So, these are brand new 8t8R installs and these are very expensive for one site .. I wonder how many of these sprint will complete. I hope get to a 50-70% completion rate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more cost effective where the massive 8T8R capacity isn't yet needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyroned3222 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 This is the sprint tower I connect to at work. I assume it's still old legacy 3G as I only connect to 3G at work .. sprint acknowledges this area as off network roaming on their system .. you guys got any ideas as to why Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not look like a Sprint site, even a legacy Sprint site. There aren't many 3G only sites left in your area. Even if GMO, they have had LTE added. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
