Network Vision/LTE - Tucson/Yuma Market

[TechSmurf]

I have an HTC One with the most recent Jelly Bean. I tried to dial ##DEBUG# but it dialed sprint with a ### after I hit the dial button.

How should I access the Engineering Screen?

Use the dialpad instead of a keyboard. ##33284#

I just mapped a bunch of 4g LTE hopefully it all shows up it was from oracle and wetmore then I tried my best to criss cross side streets that way I didn't map the same thing twice. So hopefully it shows and it makes it look more filled in

4 towers officially accepted

Do You know where are they?

Park and 18th

24th and I-10

Cardinal south of Valencia

Harrison just south of Broadway

 

The Glenn and 1st site that we know is broadcasting (albeit at slow speeds comparatively) is still showing as scheduled within the next 3 months.

Worked great!  Thanks.

I'm glad Tucson started getting LTE.....

We have two towers, but as you are finding out they are not very strong in the daytime, at least here in Yuma.

 

Lateck,

The site at 1st and Glenn was accepted yesterday.

Is anyone getting 4G today? I've done around and haven't picked up anything, and my phone is on LTE/CDMA I made sure.

I had 4G and mapped it from Campbell and Prince to 1st almost up to Ina Road.  Should show on Sensorly later.

If you were able to view projections on the Glenn and 1st tower, which I understand was accepted now, can you see the queue and make a stab at what might go next?

In response to this ^^^ their isn't projections only a general this will get 4g in x amount of time. Now my money is the one near el con mall and the one near speedway and craycroft, but truth be told that's based off of my own sightings

Thanks.  That seems like a good position to maximize coverage.  I wonder if they might target a NW side lite off next too.  That would be nice.

Still haven't been able to map Farmington/24th from 10... It's never lit when I pass by.

Feel your pain, have driven through Grant and 1st and still haven't been able to pick anything

I was only able to map it from prince to about grant, signal disappeared right around grant.

Another tower its broadcasting LTE in Yuma. I was able to map it on 8th Street and Avenue B

I think it's the one on 8th Street and 9th Avenue

Hello friends, I've been trying to keep up with this thread and wanted to make a small contribution.  A few weeks ago I noticed a cell tower had sprouted by my place of employment.  Even though it was cleverly masked in Palm Tree disguise the guys I saw working on it was a dead giveaway.  :-)  I was wondering if anyone knew for WHOM/WHAT carrier that antenna on the southeast corner of South Pantano (not pantano pkwy) and Golf LInks belongs to? 

 

I picked up 4G two days in a row in that vicinity and mapped 22 samples when I was stopped at that stoplight this morning.  I guess it's possible the signal could have leaked all the way down from the speedway area but more likely the last remnants of the broadcast from Harrison perhaps.  As I was moving north I LOST 4G.  Any info?

Monopalms in Tucson tend to be AT&T, and this one is no exception. It sprouted in July-September 2009, btw, so that clever masking worked pretty well, though it's really not so clever once you know what you're looking for (in fact they tend to become painfully obvious).

 

The LTE you're getting is probably fringe signal from broadway/harrison. Take a screenshot of an LTE engineering screen while you're connected to it and we can confirm.

 

Thanks!

Will do TS!  Thanks for the confirmation, maybe I'll make my way to the chevron there on the corner and do some snooping with the engineering screens.

Just noticed it there this morning. Good to see they are continuing to expand. And i am seeing more consistent coverage as well.

I will, once they fire up most of our towers, lol

The signal you were receiving was, more than likely, coming from a Sprint cell site on the NW corner of S Pantano/E Irvington - antennae are mounted on a TEP high tension tower about halfway up.
