People turning their phones on, automatic on/off, Do not Disturb modes being deactivated, beginning to download software and app updates, etc. Essentially the network going from a minimal use case, to a fully utilized and overloaded tower.

In other words, 200, 000 tickets have been sold for a game being played in a 100, 000 seat capacity stadium thus negating expansion of the stadium, i.e., fiber optic to expedite the crowd thru the gates to the new facility.

FanOfSkynyrd Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Anyone have an idea which tower is Sprint's out by the Wal-Mart on 8e and 32nd in Yuma? Is it the one across the street in that fenced in compound which looks like it had multiple carrier panels on it or is it the one just east of the Wal-Mart? I saw a cherry picker out working on the smaller tower just east of it for the past 3 days now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FanOfSkynyrd Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 It's the one in front of it next to I8 Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk Ah, thx. Not the one I saw the cherry picker on then. Wishful thinking I guess. I drive by there everyday though so I'll keep my eye on it for activity. Strange signal issues today though. So I work of 195 and County 14, I usually get about 3-4 bars of coverage but today I could only pull about 2-4 bars of roaming all the what from there, up Araby, on I8 and into town. Id say I finally picked up a Sprint signal around exit 2...weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrbailey89 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 A tower near the 95 by the from the farm place that sells date shakes had a cherry picker by it. And the panels were ripped off of it. Not sure if its a sprint tower or not but it could explain your reception issues skynyrd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrbailey89 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I beleive those are the panels that were removed then.

That site has been 3g accepted for a while now. I wonder if the new Panels are lower. Take some pictures if you can of all the antennas. I know there's a few of them on that tower.

To be honest, I think San Luis should get another one due to the size and density down there Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lateck Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Here is the tower at Ripley and 18th. Which group is Sprint? I ask because people were working on the third tier today.
