Wow, for real out of all the places on Maui, they choose Haiku next?!..why not Lahaina & Kahului areas first, that's where pretty much everyone is...smh!

Because it is the one where the backhaul company finished next.

Just got LTE pop up in Ewa Beach. Noticed it when in was leaving Ewa at the traffic ligt by 7 Eleven store and it went away at the traffic light by west loch and old forth weaver road. Im not sure if the sensorly worked, I was trying to map it.. had 7mbps speed..

I vote for keeping Sprint! It's pretty obvious that Sprint is chugging along pretty quickly with Hawaii since they've started a couple months back. The prices are right and B41 and B26 are likely just on the horizon.

Anybody knows if sensorly will automatically update the 4gLTE mapping.. Seems like it did not work after driving down fort weaver road for 5 mins.

try zoom all the way in, I just mapped parts of village park I missed yesterday (wonder if people think I'm casing the area lol) and at +3 zoom it doesn't show but at full zoom in it has the mapping I did

I drove my cab all night Friday and Saturday, got a lot of mapping done. As you can see, most of Waikiki had no LTE. The parts that are on sensorly were very inconsistent. Sometimes it would come on by itself, sometimes only when I reset the antenna, other times not at all in the same place the map shows someone else got coverage. I had nothing at all on the Ala Moana side of Waikiki. Fortunately though, Kapiolani from Kalakaua all the way down had solid coverage the whole time. Pretty much all of Kaka'ako comes in strong.

 

From the rate of progress, I'm guessing this implementation will be done by the end of the year.

backhaul can take a long time. Now you guys should keep an eye out for b41 equipment.

    • 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
