Didnt see any more towers added in the tucson area and its showing a few towers in progress down in yuma so i thought thats where they are doing the work atm.

 

Well they are working here but I do believe it's simultaneously with Tucson and Phoenix.

What does that mean?

 

IBEZ - international boundary exclusion zone. Areas which are 100KM from the Mexican or Canadian borders where SMR 800 cannot be deployed pending negotiations for their usage in those areas.

 

Robert explains it on several posts here..

International Boundary Exclusion Zone. It's the area along the Mexican and Canadian border where Sprint cannot deploy 800MHz wideband operations until a compromise can be reached and implemented.

 

Both CDMA and LTE are considered wideband operations. iDEN had very narrow channels and was coveted under the previous compromise that is in place now.

 

There will not be any IBEZ wideband 800 until 2014 at the earliest.

I'm guessing Tuscon is part of the IBEZ.

 

That's a pretty big mess... unless something can get resolved. Knowing how slow governments move, who knows what will happen.

Well Tucson is about 116 kilometers from the border so i hope we don't get screwed over some more. There is no list of areas that fall under this?

Parts of tuscon appear to be within that boundary especially the south and southeast part of the city along the highway. It's very close but cannot be verified since info is missing from that particular area.

I'm going to guess that some sites are going to be affected. As far as each site? That has to be verified with Sprint.

 

At least Nextel Mexico is transitioning to WCDMA which will make this less of an issue over time. The people in Canadian areas... I feel for because Canada still uses SMR for public safety and Telus has no need nor no desire to shut down Mike, their IDEN service.

Well i hope they upgrade the northern towers because the 116 km i came up with was mid town and im in the far north of town. Maybe that will be the trade off, we never got wimax up here so southern Tucson can deal with no 800.

Who is Brian Klug and why should we care?

I'm asking Tuscon people if it's really that bad. Brian Klug is a writer for Anandtech. He does some of the best write-ups in the industry on mobile devices. So I don't get the hate...

That's what I get for jumping in the middle of a conversation I know nothing about.

 

I just saw a twitter complaint and thought it must have been just some local celeb shooting his mouth off.

 

Sorry about that.

He does some of the best write-ups for Anandtech. However, I've seen him completely miss important information before, and when he talks about Sprint it's obvious he hasn't done any research on the future plans, and acts like any other ignorant customer who complains but doesn't do anything proactive about it (like educating himself despite the knowledge and experience to do so more than adequately).

 

But, maybe that's just me.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and coule potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
