lilotimz Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Strange, Signal check is still saying LTE 1900 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Interesting. Not the usual Nokia gci ending either. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkyeager Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) Interesting. Not the usual Nokia gci ending either. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk I suspect Airspan Air Harmony 1000 or 4000 either as a small cell or in groups of two or three at the site with simple b41 antennas. (edit: spotted photos of a site). If an Air Harmony was fiber fed, that could be the second carrier. If it is a split sector and that is a virtual GCI, what others do you get when you walk around the site?

dkyeager Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I looked up the US frequencies for that area. Always possible there are conflicts with Mexico. Here are the uncontested frequencies. Note that one lease may go away in a year. Sprint Call ID start finish bandwidth expires earfcn WQL202, B486 2496 2502 6 39680 WND375-L000001878 2518.5 2535 16.5 6/25/18 39957~ WND375-L000001878 2578 2584 6 6/25/18 40500 WQL202, B486 2618 2624 6 40900 Sprint would be clear in the immediate area into Imperial County CA. Here is the unabridged version: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12La02ReEXzlVbz760c0H0XWOQB4Xt2HrM202-_WzO5c/edit?usp=sharing It is quite possible that they have another 5mhz, which could then use uncontiguous CA soontm when it becomes available with the latest phones at that time. If this B41 is from a small cell that other carrier could be the GCI sector 01, else 01 could be another sector from the site as well as 00 or 03.

Hypeo Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Sounds like I need to do some research out there. I'll take a trip down there and get more info Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypeo Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 And this is the result of the upgrades here in Yuma. So far, only two towers have been updated. Sent from my 2PS64 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a proper 10 MHz B25 2nd carrier for ALU land. Your region has 10+5 on B25 then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halcyoncmdr Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Just got an On Air notification for a 1x800 voice upgrade on a site in downtown Tucson.

Well, if it is not a device reporting error, then it probably means that enough is clear in Mexico to at least run one CDMA 1.25MHz wide channel.

Made a big leap there. Especially since I have seen a lot of 'On Air Announcements" in my day. What a maroon! Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you also find LTE on 800, but that was not mentioned as being in service. Bring on some screen shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
