Network Vision/LTE - Orange County Market (Anaheim/Santa Ana/Irvine/Huntington Beach)

90 FWY- East of the 39- is that the first bit of LTE in the OC?!?

 

And I mean on Sensorly...

[rayluis1988]

Ohh cool LTE is starting to light up in OC

Maybe, it could be bleeding over from the LA Market. Hard to tell until we know what tower it's coming from.

[iansilv]

How do we tell?

Well, pretty much requires getting out and doing some mapping or checking the cell IDs to pinpoint the tower.

I've got an iphone and its cant give sensorly the data it needs. Although it isjailbroken- is there an app that allows sensorly to map?

You can still check cell ids and such, there's a lot of good information on tracking down sites in the DFW/Austin and the New Orleans Sponsors threads

Big swath of coverage mapped in Buena Park on Beach Blvd.!

[compelp]

lets hope it starts spreading like a wild fire

Still on the edge of the OC/LA markets. Not confident enough at this time to say that the OC market is now going LTE live. If coverage increases and we can make a better guess as to which tower the LTE is coming from, then we can celebrate!

[iansilv]

I cant get out there- can anyone check it out?

The area's that look like OC look to be bleed over from LA county ie cerritos, La Mirada.

So you think Buena Park is its own OC tower?

That particular stretch is likely from a tower in the LA market. Until we can see otherwise, assume all LTE reports are from the LA market. In the Sponsors section, I could point out which tower I expect it is from, however that information cannot be posted here.

What part of la? Buena park is deeper in oc than la habra and cerritos is kind of far west to hit Buena park

Well, regardless of where the actual OC boundary is, the Sprint LA Market comes up right against the 39 or Beach Blvd, whatever you call it, so a tower on that line could be broadcasting LTE into the OC market.

[compelp]

gah, lte is such a tease...

[HTCandroid]

I'm near that Buena Park area in sensorly so I'll see what I can add.

Awesome! Let us know if you think you can pin down and area that it is coming from.

[HTCandroid]

Haha ill try. I was able to find the Lakewood area a few months back. Can someone give me a run down how to check LTE signal since bars lies!

[Dkoellerwx]

Tap ##DEBUG# into your dialer, and then click on LTE Engineering. Or, you can do About Phone > Network Status (I think?) which will show your LTE strength.

I'm from la mirada. I had lte in between imperial and rosecrans from la mirada to valley view. It was all pretty spotty. And as I drove down valley view towards buena park I had lte up until la Palma so roughly from imperial in la mirada to la Palma had some lte. La mirada is borderline oc la county so hopefully it keeps progressing

[HTCandroid]

Just to make sure I understood your directions lol. From imperial going south to la Palma on valley view was spotty?

I think if people start to simply map their commutes in OC it will start to flesh out the coverage. It's just one stripe on beach blvd going to below the 91 fwy. That is definitely Orange County.

 

If it was LA, why would it not show up until recently? It seems like LA coverage hasn't expanded at all for a while... Then this pops up...
