I see your Lincoln speed test and raise you an Omaha one. At Brazenhead for dinner tonight off of 78th and Dodge/Cass.

You sure you weren't connected to Wifi? :rolleyes:

Honestly, once the network is more complete, the EVO LTE works perfectly well. A month or so after KC was launched, my EVO LTE was picking up LTE everywhere I went just fine. The problem right now is that pretty much everywhere you go if it's not right next to an active site, it's a fringe signal. When more sites are online, that won't be a problem.

 

So I would say stick it out and wait for a Tri-Band device.

Not all markets are spaced equally ;)

 

One of my lines is my old EVO LTE and driving through areas where all adjacent sites are LTE it is still an abysmal failure.

Anyone know anything about the 90th and Sorensen area, I see it maped east and west. What towers are these pulling off?

There is a NE/IA thread with specifics as well as a thread with all towers and statuses nation wide but you'll need to be a sponsor to access. Please consider supporting site.

Lincoln folks, is the site near O and 48th still offline? Was hoping it would be up, wanting to see how that changes the coverage on Sensorly. I feel like if they can get a couple more sites online, they'll have a launchable amount of coverage in no time.

It was online Wed, not sure when it would have gone offline. That was right in front of the O street Sprint store (that is on ruins right now from renovations lol)

You're sure the signal was from O and 48th? I don't see any strong enough signals on Sensorly to indicate it's active.

Not 100% but that reading was in front of that store on Wed. I actually drove by to see if they could get LTE at the location because the South store can barely get LTE. So I grabbed that as I drove by to send to one of the peeps at the South store. :)

 

I won't be back in Lincoln until Wed but can check it again if no one gets to it.

The site in question has yet to go live.  For whatever reason Lincoln accepted sites are generally taking longer than the Omaha ones (the past two Omaha towers went live 3 business days after being reported as accepted here).  I agree though a couple more sites based on the penetration the Lincoln towers are getting will get most of Lincoln covered.  Is Sprint still going with the 40% of towers completed criteria for launch though?  If that is the case,  Lincoln would still be short.

40% pops, not towers.

That was a fairly weak signal, if that was near the site that would indicate it was not live.

Lincoln will be there within the next 2-3 towers (including the accepted but not launched one) probably then and Omaha will be getting close with a couple of more as well especially if the just accepted tower gets a similar coverage range to the tower to the South like I think it will.  Omaha/Lincoln will probably be in the next wave of launched markets then.

Perhaps this is a silly question, but how do you determine when a particular site has been accepted? Is it just by visual inspection and seeing when equipment is delivered to a site?

Only 1 site in the market today, in Lincoln. There's still hope though. Today's list was for Wednesday and Thursday.

I mapped it on sensorly

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By wispiANt · Posted

      Historically, T-Mobile has been the only carrier contracting with Crown Castle Solutions, at least in Brooklyn. I did a quick count of the ~35 nodes currently marked as "installed" and everything mapped appears to be T-Mobile. However, they have a macro sector pointed directly at this site and seem to continue relying on the older-style DAS nodes. Additionally, there's another Crown Castle Solutions node approved for construction just around the corner, well within range of their macro. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Verizon using a new vendor for their mmWave build, especially since the macro site directly behind this node lacks mmWave/CBRS deployment (limited to LTE plus C-Band). However, opting for a multi-carrier solution here seems unlikely unless another carrier has actually joined the build. This node is equidistant (about five blocks) between two AT&T macro sites, and there are no oDAS nodes deployed nearby. Although I'm not currently mapping AT&T, based on CellMapper, it appears to be right on cell edge for both sites. Regardless, it appears that whoever is deploying is planning for a significant build. There are eight Crown Castle Solutions nodes approved for construction in a 12-block by 2-block area.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      Starlink (1900mhz) for T-Mobile, AST SpaceMobile (700mhz and 850mhz) for AT&T, GlobalStar (unknown frequency) for Apple, Iridium (unknown frequency) for Samsung, and AST SpaceMobile (850mhz) for Verizon only work on frequency bands the carrier has licensed nationwide.  These systems broadcast and listen on multiple frequencies at the same time in areas much wider than normal cellular market license areas.  They would struggle with only broadcasting certain frequencies only in certain markets so instead they require a nationwide license.  With the antennas that are included on the satellites, they have range of cellular band frequencies they support and can have different frequencies with different providers in each supported country.  The cellular bands in use are typically 5mhz x 5mhz bands (37.5mbps total for the entire cell) or smaller so they do not have a lot of data bandwidth for the satellite band covering a very large plot of land with potentially millions of customers in a single large cellular satellite cell.  I have heard that each of Starlink's cells sharing that bandwidth will cover 75 or more miles. Satellite cellular connectivity will be set to the lowest priority connection just before SOS service on supported mobile devices and is made available nationwide in supported countries.  The mobile device rules pushed by the provider decide when and where the device is allowed to connect to the satellite service and what services can be provided over that connection.  The satellite has a weak receiving antenna and is moving very quickly so any significant obstructions above your mobile device antenna could cause it not to work.  All the cellular satellite services are starting with texting only and some of them like Apple's solution only support a predefined set of text messages.  Eventually it is expected that a limited number of simultaneous voice calls (VoLTE) will run on these per satellite cell.  Any spare data will then be available as an extremely slow LTE data connection as it could potentially be shared by millions of people.  Satellite data from the way these are currently configured will likely never work well enough to use unless you are in a very remote location.

      will this work for service in a plane?

      T-Mobile owns the PCS G-block across the contiguous U.S. so they can just use that spectrum to broadcast direct to cell. Ideally your phone would only connect to it in areas where there isn't any terrestrial service available.

      So how does this whole direct to satellite thing fit in with the way it works now? Carriers spend billions for licenses for specific areas. So now T-Mobile can offer service direct to customers without having a Terrestrial license first?
