Sector ID's in the EVDO Engineering Screen

For those that have phones that have Sector ID's in the form of 32-character sizes, have you seen any letter ever shown above f? Because strangely enough, the Sector ID sure looks like an IPv6 address in terms of size and hexadecimal characters.

Its hex. It's the evdo subnet.

It's showing the cell identity value in hex 0-f. So far only the htc and iPhone show the cell identity value(iPhone shows it as a decimal value). Samsung phones show the physical cell ID which is a 9 bit value between 0 and 506. The iPhone actually shows both values.

My brain is starting to ache from all this networking talk. I'm taking my Network + class in preparation for my Network Pro Certification and my Network + Certification. I'm cramming a whole class into a week cause it's due on Friday. :(

 

So that might explain my confusion.

 

Thanks for the clarification digiblur.

    • 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 coule 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.
    • Same with factory unlocked
