keelerman8042 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 You do enough to respond troll. Rants will not be accepted here, nor telling other members that they are trolls sprint.com is the best way to go if you must express the way you feel about sprint as this is not sprint and will not get you no where.

jefbal99 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 We have photos in the Sponsor forums of an East Michigan site with new panels, RRUs and Verizon fibre flags for under ground wiring. Work is occurring in Michigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luuminator Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 So I get kinda bored at work driving around Detroit all day. So when I see a tower being worked on and the guys doing it are having a union smoke I ask who the work is for and all of them that I have spoke to say LTE for T-Mobile. Which from what they tel me is being deployed start of 2013. I will still be keeping an eye out, and I know it hasnt been announced by sprint and idk if its been announced here I'm kinda new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They initially were planning panels with integrated radios for their LTE network. I would love to see them. It's network nerd porn.

obas Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 All, Saw this tower being worked on not sure if it's a sprint one or not here are some pictures I snapped and I hope linking to the pics in a dummy Photobucket acct is the best way to do it. http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o795/obas2/CAM00064.jpg http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o795/obas2/CAM00065.jpg http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o795/obas2/CAM00068.jpg http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o795/obas2/CAM00069.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going to be back by this site in a few days to take some more photos? We should be able to tell for certain in a few more days.

Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk This is like a minute from my house and I drive by it everyday going to work. I'lll see what I can do to get better shots of the tower and the base equipment. There was a truck loading facility on the back side I bet I could go in there a get a shot of the tower with out the trees as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luuminator Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) Here is the picture of the antennas and the base of the T-Mobile site from yesterday Robert http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee512/Luuminator/20121204_091701.jpg http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee512/Luuminator/20121204_091559.jpg http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee512/Luuminator/20121204_091705.jpg Sorry the base picture is a little blurry the rain started to really come down. Ill keep a lookout for sprint work and try to get a better shot of the tmobile antennas when they are on the ground at a different place. I run into T-Mobile sites being worked on about once a week.

Wildman Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I'm up visiting in the Detroit area for a couple days. Was driving through Westland on my way to Pinckney and spotted some tower dogs on the tower on Ford Rd in Westland to the Police station. I saw then up on what looked like the Sprint array of antennas installing panels and RRUs. Will have to get a better look before upgrading back home. It's a central site for the city and RF signal showed I was connected to that tower. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luuminator Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Are you talking about the tower between westland pd and the court building? If so last I knew that tower was only for the western wayne county trs system. There is a tower close to that area ive just never have known who's tower it was. I could always be wrong but I havnt driven by westland pd for months now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luuminator Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) The one at 75 and 696 is a mspc tower for the state. I believe it is part of the state radio system. There are also to mdot cameras on it. The way the antennas look its for the 800 mhz P25 radios. Everytime I drive by it I get a very strong signal on my scanner. But do not quote me about the antennas. I know more about piblic safety radios and scanners then cell phones.

As I said, I hope to get another look at it tomorrow if I can. I'm only in town for a couple of days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
