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

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...

 

LA's coverage is still expanding, it's just not as noticeable. That stripe is right on the LA Market boarder. There are still many many many sites to go in the LA market. Some parts of the LA market still don't have LTE, mainly along the edges.

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.

 

Now that you point out that the Sprint market boundary actually goes right up against Beach Blvd, I'm really convinced this is bleed-over from the LA market. Can you maybe post in the completed sites comments in the sponsor section which site you think it might be coming from?

Sure, give me a moment to put something together, and figure out the right forum. Ha.

I'll head east on Artesia to Beach north to Alondra then west tomorrow. If 4g is still lit up, there should be dark purple on Sensorly at Alondra and Knott in the afternoon. :tu:

yea...........totally bummed. LA is just bleeding all over north western OC =/

 

this is a lame question but how do you add pics...lol

 

Best way is to upload to an image hosting website such as flickr, photoshop, dropbox and then link back here.

 

Or, there is a way to upload to the site, but there's only so much room.

ahhh. No worries. I'll just explain my findings. I was directly under it. My RSRP was as low as -69dBm. Max down load speed was 19.76Mbps. I have 2 decent shots of the base and the top of the tower. I did a normal pic with my evo and it was all black. Switched to HDR and bam! clear shots with only the flash.

A new LTE site was accepted today in that area, just inside the LA Metro boundary. Its on the Sponsor maps now.

So where exactly is that tower?

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.
