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)

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)

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
