3G Airave and LTE


Serious

Recommended Posts

I live in an apartment building and somebody has an Airave cranked to the max so everyone within a 1/4th of a mile are connected to it sigh...

 

What happens when LTE makes it here? WIll I be stuck on 3G since the Airave signal is so strong?

I have an airave and if you get a lte signal it will over ride the 3g, but if you need to have airave your signal might be low enough that if you get lte, might not do you any good. That is my case, my 6mbps dsl is faster than lte signal between 1.5 and 3 mbps.

My signal is actually fine. Somebody in the other part of the building has weak signal. I was worried that a really strong 3g signal overrides a weak LTE signal.

 

Thanks I was not aware any LTE signal will take precedence over 3G.

    • 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.
