Sorry about the grainy pic, ill get a better one soon. Can anyone tell which on here is Sprint and if so are they doing the update on the Sprint panels? If you look close, there is two guys up there.IMAG0001.jpg

 

The bottom rack appears to be Samsung Sprint NV equipment.

Well went back to the site to take more pice, but my camera was dead. I can confirm though by the boxes on the ground this is NV equiptment. I also seen the new Samsung boxes on the ground. Looks like they are almost done with the panel install as i also seen new coax coming down the tower, just not to the boxes yet. The Samsung boxes are running though so i assume it will be live soon.

They are back working on the tower by HWY 29 and S. 72nd Avenue in Wausau.  I talked to the guys and they were install ing parts inside the building.  Looked like batteries or power supplies, they said that they were very heavy.

At least there is some movement but it is a very slow process, but at least some movement.

The Milwaukee market is supposed to be 75% done by October. The rest of Wisconsin should be close to the same plan. That isn't for sure though.

That's great to hear! At this point, I'll be happy if Green Bay is 25% done by October. Haha!

I see they turned on the 3g here signal went up and data speeds on evdo are holding around 2meg down. I was watching the signal change. Must have been adjusting the down tilt. LTE signal went down then back up. In Wausau.

 

:D

Looks like a Sensorly is showing a spot near Oneida on the map now.  This is great to see.  Hopefully this is one of many spots that will start to pop up soon.

I saw that too so that must mean the Oneida tower is broadcasting.  There is also a new 3G/4G complete tower in Seymour as of yesterday or today.

Nice!  How did you get the info that there's a new tower?  Just wondering how I would go about finding this info for Green Bay and Appleton.  :)

Nice!  I was only able to afford a donation of $10 at this time, but I look forward to checking out these maps!

Guess I need to get a pay pal account so I can become a sponsor.

 

My wife was showing here coworker the LTE at work in downtown Wausau today, they were comparing the speed of Sprints LTE with CellCom's 3g.  CellCom always loaded the page faster, my wife has the iPhone5.  I told her that Sprint isn't complete with the LTE build out yet and it should get faster.(Hope I am right).

My coworker says that Sprints  LTE in Stevens Point is very fast.

I can say that the LTE I have seen in Milwaukee and Sheboygan is pretty fast. I also saw extremely fast LTE in Grand Rapids, MI: 19.54 Mbps down and 4.99 Mbps up. I'm hoping we will see these speeds everywhere once NV is complete.

    • Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s. 
    • Still not seeing any ULS postings for pending T-Mobile UScellular merger in Dane county Wisconsin.
    • Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
