Why a Premier Sponsor would use Sprint coverage maps when they have access to S4GRU Site Acceptance maps is beyond me. Everyone knows that the Sprint LTE coverage maps are awful unless you zoom all t

We should be able to know in the morning. I typically get acceptance reports overnight.       Robert via HTC 8X using Tapatalk for WP8

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
