rayluis1988 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Robert, Here you have some pictures of the converted(iDen to CDMA) site in the neighborhood of South Central, Los Angeles, CA. It looks identical to the picture I saw on google maps, same panels. Maybe the changed the ground base or...dunno. Take a look at it http://s1144.beta.photobucket.com/user/raycitocubanito/library/iDen%20site%20LA/iDen%20site%20LA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkoellerwx Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I agree, It doesn't look like there is any NV equipment on that tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S4GRU Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 The panels are different and there are less of them on each sector. But I do not see any RRU's. But approx. 5% of sites will not get RRU's if the structure cannot support them. I'm not sure what to make of this. Thanks for the photos.

Robert via Samsung Note II using Forum Runner yup.there is not any RRU at all and the panels are not NV..Your welcome Robert Interesting - think that the wood pool doesn't support any additional weight/structural mass on it? yup.its a pretty simple wood pool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosted20V Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Let me catch up here. This tower was marked as being converted from iDEN to CDMA and the work being completed? It would seem likely that while this may be updated in the future, it is not yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiWavelength Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Interesting - think that the wood pool doesn't support any additional weight/structural mass on it? yup.its a pretty simple wood pool Is this in Inglewood? Because in South Central, "The Wood" means Inglewood. AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feech Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 This maybe what I'm seeing here in Florida I have come across a few sites that are marked to have NV/LTE done but it's not a Sprint site its a Nextel site Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All sites to date in our updates have come from our existing CDMA sites database. This is the first one that was previously a Nextel only site. I had to move it from Nextel database to the NV database. Robert via Samsung Note II using Forum Runner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 This is the old iDEN site photo from Google Maps. There were four panels per sector and these are definitely different panels. This site has definitely been upgraded. RayLuis, did you run any performance testing while there or cycle to try to get LTE? On another note, sites that do not get RRU's also will not get 800 deployments. No CDMA 800 nor LTE 800.

rayluis1988 Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Yeah Robert..speeds were close to 1Mbps down and between 1 and 1.10 Mbps up.The Pings were high thought...almost 500ms This is the old iDEN site photo from Google Maps. There were four panels per sector and these are definitely different panels. This site has definitely been upgraded.

Is it possible these sites were converted using legacy hardware? It certainly looks like legacy panels rather than NV ones in the pics which were posted of the tower now.

Its possible that panels with ground based radios are a little different than RRU panels. They may not be able to handle as many carriers. That might be why there are three panels in a sector. Most NV sites have one NV panel per sector. Robert via Samsung Note II using Forum Runner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tybo31316 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I've seen some panels like the ones in the op here in jax, fl but didn't have a clue on who's panels they were until I saw your pic Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypeo Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Those are the types of panels we have here in Yuma Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickie546 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 My take on it is the one panel away from the others looks like a NV panel minus the RRU's that I have seen, but maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosted20V Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Regardless the answer, I'm glad a Nextel site got converted. Is this in a gap in coverage? Or was this picked to add capacity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
