I didn't take any new pictures, but if it helps to compare, here are pictures from the Scott County Assessor's office of what the site previously looked like (unknown date, but probably from a couple of years ago knowing how often photos get updated by the Assessor's office).

Picking up some band 26 in downtown Iowa City today, so that's pretty exciting.

All of Cedar Rapids just lit up quite literally overnight.   Pulling 20 down 10 meg up.

Yeah so Speedconnect and Sprint initially did some swaps back in middle of 2017 - mostly Sprint got SC's E, F, and H block for their BRS2 (and probably some money).  Last year, it looks like SpeedConn

I am on a road trip down to Florida and stopped in Antioch, TN and I got my first taste of Sprint LTE.

 

All I have to say is WOW!! I am impressed and it is now going to make the wait even harder :-). Consistent download speed of 12Mbps and upload of 4 Mbps. I could check Facebook and my mail (all 7 accounts) in < 1 min. It would take 5 - 8 mins in the QC to do the same thing.

Looks like quad cities got its first 4g site, just north of the airport on 74, no sensorly yet though :-(

I go by there all the time to go to work.  I will have to look at my phone and see if 4g show's up.  If so i will turn on sensorly to get us on the Map. :) 

I love that the qca now has one 4g LTE tower.  :) 

 

later,

John

I happened to be in the neighborhood of the tower on Utica Ridge Road in Bettendorf (Quad Cities) and took a couple of pictures.  It appears the new panels and RRUs have been installed in the middle spot of each sector.  Attached are a couple of pictures.

Having the new panels and rru's installed in the middle is typical. They typically come back 30-60 days after the new panels have been installed and switch them from the middle to ends.

I drive I74 to get to work on the back side of the airport.  No 4g yet.  I will keep checking when I go to work.  or when I'm down at south park mall.

Later,

John

My office is right next to South Park mall and no 4g love yet. I did notice the tower next to Fareway/super Saver cinemas (??) in Moline now have panels and did not early last week. Also - the tower next to I74 going south to the airport does have the panels. Any day now!!!!

Checked out the NV site in east Davenport right off Locust - doesn't look like they had the panels up yet. I will keep checking this tower for future changes and when I see something being done I will update. The weird thing is I saw Mediacom running cable a couple weeks ago right at a corner near the tower. I wonder if it is related????

I think Mediacom is the one doing the backhual for Sprint in the QCA.  It is a good chance it was related to the tower upgrades.

Looks like Mt. Pleasant, IA had a LTE site accepted. The LTE tower in Moline is still not turned of this morning - however I have been getting my eHRPD signal dropping all morning, then coming back 5-10 minutes later - anyone else notice this on the Illinois side?  I am really hoping my LTE alarm goes off sometime soon!!!!

 

On a side note - I will be going by the Bettendorf NV site later today to see what progress they have made. they had some panels under tarp on the ground on Saturday night.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      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.

      T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
