That tower just got accepted for 3g a couple of days ago, so I'll take that 50% too.

 

If it does fire up, I can see alot of us lurking around the school like child predators.

 

Robert, did you ever see the pic I uploaded from that very tower we are talking about. It had what appeared to be an RRU attached to the legacy panel.

Yes. I didn't realize this was the site we were talking about. I guess I feel a little more optimistic that it could be the very first LTE site in the market.

I think he meant he's more optimistic because this site has already been 3G accepted

Advanced Tech support ... told me that this site still has an open ticket to finish up LTE upgrades and will be off line until the 20th. His next comment was, LTE for that tower is slated to be turned on, on that date.

 

Added info to market map ;)

 

The sooner I have to kill off the "In Progress" status to make room for a "NV LTE Accepted" status, the happier I will be.

I certainly hope we've got people with LTE phones running Sensorly in Yuma, Kingman, and Havasu...

 

I got mine ready and a full tank of gas.. LOL

I'm hoping LTE will start working in Kingman soon. It's quite sad that backhaul is taking that long to be deployed there. It's almost disturbing.

To be fair... it is Kingman. :-P

Yeah, but I do travel thru there every time I go east.

Any updates !? I'm waiting for this LTE in tucson so bad for my iPhone 5. Especially cause I can see a sprint tower about 40 feet from my back yard.

 

Can you take pics? We always value visual contributions here.

Here it is, the gate you see is my backyard. Unfortunately I couldn't get closer because the tower is in the middle of a storage locker place. But I dislike how it's diquised as a palm tree cause its difficult to see plus I don't see how they could work on it with all those fake brushes on there.

A closer pic of the panels themselves would help.

 

Well they're covered with a lot of branches & the poll origin is surrounded by tall buildings so I can't get closer but I am positive it's a sprint tower.

Got an address for us of the storage place? We have maps of every sprint site in the US in the sponsor area and it wouldn't be too hard to look it up if given an address.

    • 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.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
