LTE is live in Downtown Omaha!  It just came online within the last hour.  I just pulled 1347kbps down, 1315kbps up with a 53ms ping using speedtest and am successfully, for the first time ever in Omaha, streaming a movie to my S3.  Whoo! 

 

I know there is still tuning to do and the rest of the city, but the fact that I'm connected by LTE is reason to celebrate!

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by that?  All I know is my phone flipped over from 3G to 4G and my speedtest went way up.  I'm about 20th and Douglas streets.  Sorry that I don't use all the fancy stuff and that means I can't be trusted.  :(  I'll try to remember that when they turn on a tower near work.

Thank you BPHusker, glad someone believes me. Go Big Red!

 

Sensorly is an app that marks connections on a map. You should download it and let it scan.

I think that means I figured it out correctly.  :)

 

I get LTE in my apartment, but when I went to ground level I had 3G.  I don't know how to scan to see if I could get LTE there or not.  The same thing happened with my old Evo on the other 4G they used to have downtown.

My wife was around 48th and Normal Blvd in Lincoln at 9:00 this morning and was getting LTE signal. She had to send me a text and ask why it says LTE where it use to say 3G on her phone because she didn't know what it meant.  :lol:

I don't know much about how towers work.  Is it possible I'm only seeing it because I'm above ground level?  I went down to the street and walked around for a few blocks and couldn't get any LTE.  I came back upstairs and it came back on the second I stepped off the elevator.

For a wireless nerd, red stick = blue balls.

 

:P

They might have it turned onto some low power mode for testing or something.  I wonder if this will be the next accepted tower.

 

Here are where I picked up LTE this afternoon...

Bellevue here.  I got some hits in Sensorly and my phone connected 4g for brief periods of time:  Switched quickly and seemlessly back to 3g.  Can't get 4g signal now inside my home.  3g is fast enough to play youtube video without caching.

My phone must be broken because I found very very little lol. I couldn't find it where Big merl found it earlier but I found it in another area and I think I uploaded it to sensorly successfully.

 

It is between 28th and 26th and Harney downtown. Sorry if pics are lame, taking them with my phone.

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

      FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
