Is this sprints cell site?

 

 

 

This is what it looks like today,

 

 

 

I noticed they took off the panels today and added new ones around it.

I don't see any Sprint equipment there. Does this line up with any of the sites on the Sponsor maps?

Not sure, I'll check later I'm on mobile.

 

I did a FCC lookup on that site and it looks like Sprint owns it but the permit or application is marked as "cancelled" but that's from 2002.. Hmm

Chance are Sprint does not own the site. Sprint only owns a handful of sites nationwide.

 

Based on the address listed in your Google street view photo, that is not a Sprint site. Always cross-check with the Sponsor maps since you have access.

That's not the address for that tower, I think that's behind it. It should be on Dairy Rd. I'll check it myself in a few moments.

 

Do you know whose cell site it could be? Here's the FCC reg on that site, http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/AsrSearch/asrRegistration.jsp?regKey=2621579

I just used the address as a guide to find the site on Google. It's still not a Sprint site. I do not know who's site it is.

Ah, maybe one of the small local carriers like Mobi PCS.

 

Thanks for your help!

Mobi sold all of their sites to Verizon last year. They are an MVNO now (with terrible pricing).

Ah, Maybe they weren't selling too well?

They must have made a terrible deal. They offer plans using Verizon and Sprint's networks. For $160, through Mobi, I can get 5gb of shared data on Sprint. Right now I pay Sprint $160 for 20gb of shared data. I don't know why they're still in business.

They were connected to Sandwich Islands and Albert Hee. When the FCC shut down that boondoggle, their source of capital dried up. Matter of time before they're in Bankruptcy Court IMHO. Maybe that's why their CEO is trying to get a Medical Marijuana license.

Looks like it's a T-Mobile site, Hopefully maybe Sprint will jump on that tower (doesn't look like it's got room for more than 1 carrier)

That cell site near Dairy Road at Kahului, has a new carrier on it!!

 

I'll try and snap some pics on it, it kinda looks like the panels on the equipment spotting thread for Alcatel-Lucent, And Hawai'i is a Alcatel-Lucent market.. Hmmm is it possible this is a new site Sprint has leased?

 

Sprint already has a Clearwire site also on Dairy road, so not sure what's going on but he's hoping it's Sprint if not I'll be hoping Sprint will convert that Clear site as that section of town needs it.

 

One of these suckers must be Clear, as Clear marks this location with a tower icon

Literally down the block this is that site with a new carrier ontop (pics upclose coming tomorrow)

It's quite possible they are replacing the Clear site since the current Clear site isn't really adequate for full Sprint equipment.

That looks like a C.O.W, Does Clear use C.O.W's? (I'm assuming it's a cow since it's small)

Here's that cell site, new Carrier on top of it.

Can anybody identify whose on the top and bottom?

 

It appears the panels are installed but isn't hooked up yet (judging from that dangling wire)

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.
    • 5G in the U.S. – Additional Mid-band Spectrum Driving Performance Gains T-Mobile holds on to it's lead in 5G Speed
    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
