I took a few pictures of two towers side by side near my work that i see every morning when I stop at the Valero, I believe the tower with the single set of panels is owned by T-Mobile and the tower with way to much stuff on it is owned by Clearwire.

 

I believe what im looking at is T-Mobiles 4g HSPA+ Panels on the single tower. On the other tower Im completely lost.

 

My question is one of these towers is slated to recieve LTE, My question is what should i look for when they start with the upgrades ? Also this tower is * for those who have access to the maps.

Just the opposite. The lower the frequency, the longer the wavelength, the larger the panel.   AJ

Roger that, I donno why when i was viewing this video on SBASite.com i thought it was the other way around. Incase anybody novice wants to check it out, its a very nice overview video of how a Site is

The bottom set of panels look to be Clear Wimax.

My first thought regarding the crow's nest installation on this site is "bang the drum slowly."

I was under the impression that the higher the frequency the larger the panel ? If not, i stand corrected.

The opposite is generally true but not always.

 

The reason is that wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency.

Could you get some like this guy did? ;)

 

I am pretty sure that "guy" was either Spider-Man or Batman.

I got a picture of him the other day when he was in Hammond.

Why is that guy holding a largemouth bass up to his face?

^ ATT.

Why would you think that?

 

There are only 4 outputs on the bottom of the panel with a single RRU, that screams AT&T from all of the pictures in the how to spot a panel thread. I thought the Sprint NV panels had 6 outputs and 3 RRUs per sector.

Some have 4 RRU's.

      Network Vision/LTE - Northern Jersey Market

      Mapped two n41 small cell sin Jersey City today. They're the first two to be mapped there in Jersey City as far as I can tell and interestingly they're consecutive gNBs, possibly indicating they were installed around the same time. gNB 1088335 appears to be an upgrade of an older small cell. It looks identical to the T-Mobile n41 small cell I mapped earlier this year in Old Westbury.   I also mapped gNB 1088334 in Newport. This small cell appears to be a new build as I couldn't find any evidence of an older small cell in that area. Unfortunately no pic of it since I didn't even notice that I mapped it until I got home and I can't find it in Streetview.

      Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.

      Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.

      No? RCS on Google messages works great for me, messages between anyone with RCS enabled go through with no problems. Don't remember the last time I had an issue. I only have issues with people on iPhones on different carriers from T-Mobile.
