The Bulletin Board - Sprint 4G Rollout Updates

 

So far, the Bulletin Board here at S4GRU.com has not gotten much traction. So I figured that might be because I haven't been talking about it. So I have started this forum thread to extol the virtues of the S4GRU Bulletin Board!

 

The Bulletin Board was created as a separate place from The Wall. The Wall is designed for our news division, a place where pertinent Sprint and 4G news articles get posted. These are original S4GRU news stories and exclusives designed to be broadcast out to the world and draw people into Sprint 4G Rollout Updates.

 

In contrast, The Bulletin Board is more of an internal blog wall for S4GRU members. A place where we will post links to relevant news articles, links to funny or relevant videos, talk about things going on around S4GRU, bulletins about site issues or upgrades...just about everything that is not a news article will be posted on The Bulletin Board. The Bulletin Board is designed to be a place you check out every time you stop by S4GRU.

 

Jump over and take a look at The Bulletin Board. We are going to be utilizing it more often in the future. And as always, I would love some feedback.

    • Spent a lot of time in Westchester this weekend, specifically Yonkers and White Plains. I mapped three AT&T Nokia -> Ericsson conversions. I was super impressed with T-Mobile's macro density and not so much with AT&T's. In Yonkers it seems like T-Mobile macros outnumber AT&T macros 3 to 1 and in White Plains, 2 to 1. Another surprise was the lack of small cells on AT&T in both cities. While Cellmapper shows White Plains having no small cells, I did manage to find one in the Church Street neighborhood. While it's only one, it's an indication to me that T-Mobile intends on expanding n41 density with small cells in the city. On the other hand, in Yonkers T-Mobile has a ton of LTE small cells but none of them have been upgraded to 5G yet as far as I can tell. Crown Castle has been moving super fast in NYC and Long Island to upgrade and install new 5G small cells so I can only assume it's either a permitting or backhaul issue that's stopping them from moving full steam ahead there. — — — — — Came across this cool site in Yonkers with Verizon, T-Mobile, and Dish present.
    • Other two sectors finally installed. Hopefully it goes live soon though I know from past experience that these new builds can take weeks and in some cases months to go live.
    • Which is not surprising given that Verizon’s entire 5G network consists of only C-band and mmWave in most of their coverage area. I’m more surprised that despite having a 5G network that’s almost entirely made up of only two super fast and super high capacity bands, both T-Mobile and AT&T showed higher average speeds on 5G according to OpenSignal. I would’ve expected Verizon to be a close second to T-Mobile but it was a blowout.
