Network Vision/LTE - Delaware market (including Wilmington, Dover, Laurel and Elkton MD)

[cdk]

Looks like new castle on 13 tower 10 and tower 11 off 95 near wil

Just when we thought it was going to get quiet around here. Good news!

[shannonbrian]

Try map it couple days

Are the sites in southern Delaware full biulds.

Many are. I have only seen a few that aren't. I actually went out yesterday to some sites that I hadn't been to before. A few of them where to far off the road for me to see clearly enough though. Based on what I have seen and some other info, I would now say about 2/3rds of the sites are full builds.

[cdk]

Well all but one tower i'v seen in  Cecil county that are NV accepted are GMO that have not seen a person one climb up the tower to change out antennas all legacy still. I still don't think I will see LTE on the four nearest tower's to me till 2014 late 2014 at best.

 

It is probably a safe bet to say all of the remaining sites will be full builds. Plus, just because a site is a GMO doesn't automatically mean it can't broadcast LTE. I believe at least 2 different GMO sites have been accepted and verified as broadcasting LTE (I just don't remember what markets). If you are in either Elkton or North East, MD I would think you will see at least some LTE before summer.

Its been on for at least 2 weeks. Before I even got my Note 3

[shannonbrian]

Was not turn on 2 weeks ago because not excepte d. Not tower on1 oand 13 but tower near hooters on 13.

[shannonbrian]

Oh ok gotcha my bad.

[shannonbrian]

One on 279 full build and is 3g accepted nv. But its almost delaware anyways .

[shannonbrian]

Hopefully new towers be on wends , my day off going mapping.

[shannonbrian]

New castle tower isonand 95 is not.( yet)

[cdk]

The one near Hartly is back in some woods behind an Amish Farm. I can see it from the road, but I can't tell what has been done there (its at least 1/4 mile off the road). I'll probably swing by there after work tomorrow and see if I find anything.

 

I doubt that will be it though. I saw a couple of towers in Sussex County being worked on this week when they let me out of the office on Monday and Tuesday. I also picked up a 1x 800 signal testing near Fenwick Island and Ocean City, MD. Legacy equipment has been removed from several sites in Sussex as well.

95 live , map some it . And its rush hour

[shannonbrian]

Nice dark purple on Sensorly!

Tower 12 in newcastle near sprint store about go live .sweet keep ball rolling.

[MReiser4670]

I was able to carry an LTE signal of varying strength all the way from I-95 in Newport near Rt 141 southbound onto Rt 1 straight down and across the C/D Canal Bridge until I reached the toll plaza. I mapped it on Sensorly as well. I don't think I uncovered any new towers but I think they're fine-tuning the coverage in place. Last week, those same towers gave me spotty connections toggling between LTE & EVDO at least 3 times.

The kirkwood hwy tower was like thar at first

[shannonbrian]

Nv all most done back haul needs start rolling faster , were almost 1 year behind .

Would love to see some more action with backhaul, particularly down in Kent county. They did have my local tower down overnight, not sure if it was related to NV work...

[shannonbrian]

Think wim and newark first . I like see baltimore farther too like ocean city .

[cdk]

I am sure more will show up there first. I want to get a triband phone, I think a few clear sites should be broadcasting band 41 LTE in Wilmington real soon....

[shannonbrian]

I will what for s5 to get update right now just want more 1900 and 800 to launch.

[cdk]

At what percent do they typically launch a market.

 

Its around 40% of population covered.
