February 2015 sounds pretty realistic for LTE launch. But the coverage will grow slowly between now and then.

Well, the towers closest to home, work, and my mother-in-law are all up and running LTE, so they can take their time with the rest. I'm happy. ????

I took a look at the building permits on Oahu, and most of them are now "Inspection(s) in Progress".  Two months ago, it was mostly "Permit approved to issue" or "Plans review in progress".

 

Looks like the contractors are mostly done with NV 1.0 ... Hopefully the back haul will pop up.

 

I have a map in the sponsor's section.

I got what seems to be Lte spark on my HTC one max today ( I've never seen the icon kit up on my phone before. But it was LTE WITH THE SPARK EMBLEM NEXT TO IT.) I was in alewa heights . Didn't get a chance to speed test because it switched back to 3g before I got the app to run

All forms of LTE will result in the spark symbol.

 

Download signal check pro. It has a logging mechanism so you can keep track of all sites you encounter.

I live right by ice palace going towards the H1-H201 and this morning LTE flicked on for a second. Then, my way back home getting off at the Halawa exit I got a 13mb down LTE connection. I did a speed test but, unfortunately, I do not know how to map on Sensorly. Glad to see an LTE connection. I have also noticed 3G speeds have improved as well in the Halawa, Kaka'ako, and Ala Moana areas. Can't wait to see Spark as well.

I've been mapping as I drive my taxi. I've been getting LTE signals consistently in Kaneohe and right around my house in Alewa. Last night, I also got a signal on H-1 by Punchbowl. that totally surprised me. I have no idea what tower that would be.

Buy signal check pro, and it will show you the gci. That way you can tell which tower you are connected to.

 

Post screenshots of signal check pro.

Laie has LTE. I was getting downloads in the 20's. I did a speed test on sensorly but I don't know how to map. I wonder if Honolulu will see any pop ups? I hope hope hope ha

Sprint/Network is showing new LTE towers in Kahuku, Kaneohe (Tamashiro Hardware), and Mapunapuna. Plenty mapping to do tomorrow. Chee hoo!

If you're using an iPhone then you can't map unfortunately.

Looks like the Valley Isle is receiving some LTE love. There's a tower in Kaanapali spreading some purple goodness on Sensorly.

Yeah,  sadly the only one on the west side unless the rumors about 505 were true (no permits on file ). Glad to see some progress!

Ii see it pop up once in a great while around alewa but always switches back to 3g once I try to speed test it.

 

If you're on a triband device, turn off band 26 & 41. Until they get ecsfb working with those bands, it'll keep kicking you to 3g. Seems to work for me

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      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.

      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.
