Hello to everyone from Plover WI!

It's cold, I'm freezing, and the bike is parked for the winter. Winter in Cheddarland!

 

Anyhow, I found this site while looking for info on sprint networks. I've been an AT&T customer for several years, but I needed something that would work where my phone was failing. Based on co-worker recommendations, I'm giving Sprint a try. 1 week in, I'm happy as a clam in mud.

 

A little background: I'm a prior IT professional, with a secondary degree in mechanical engineering. I'm a giant nerd, especially in the mobile space. I've worked in everything from building and designing DSL systems, to working on programmable ECM's for the motorcycle performance aftermarket.

 

Currently, I'm an LTL truck driver. IT was too sporadic up here, and nothing else pays quite as well, considering the job is so easy.

 

I'm an avid motorcycle nut, and prior racer. I'm more into sport-touring and long distance riding now. I still rock the occasional track day. I'm prepping for an attempt to get into the Iron Butt Rally in a few years.

 

I will openly admit, I have an addiction to mobile tech. I typically carry 2-3 active lines with me, and I have a hard time deciding between Android, iOS, and Windows Phone. Now, adding another carrier into the mix, I'm totally hosed... But hey, if you have to have a habit, have one that returns something.

 

I'm also an aspiring tech and travel journalist. Kind of a late start, but I went after the degree I was convinced would make money, rather than pursuing my passions. A wife and kids slows the process a bit.

 

Anyhow, sorry for the novel. I'm going back to filling my head full of more sprint tech. Nice site by the way!

 

Keep the rubber side down!

Hmmm... iOS and a crotch rocket? We might have to just revoke your man card there ;)

 

Would you have preferred a Harley? I need horsepower. And cornering. And braking. And reliability..

 

Triple digit site seeing ftw!

Everyone loves a trike!

 

It's all good. That's why I have the z1000. All the benefits of a sport bike, but a standard ride position. I do iron button rides on it all the time.

 

Cruiser feet forward puts too much pressure on my lower back.

    • Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s. 
    • Still not seeing any ULS postings for pending T-Mobile UScellular merger in Dane county Wisconsin.
    • Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
