Took a trip up to Sleeping Bear Dunes, and T-Mo has converted Sprint enb 729389 to T-Mo 122073, which gives the dunes native coverage. The site has n41 40mhz but seems to be backhaul capped (screenshots below). It's probably not very well optimized either because there's a large area of no service in between sectors. There are like 6 new Sprint conversions along US 10 between Midland and Clare, all with n41.

Yep those are B/n41 antennas!

Oh, nice! I didn't realize that. I do know they have designated this tower and the other one in Athens as an Ultra Capacity site. The one in Union City, it doesn't appear that they have turned on n41 frequency yet as I have yet to see that band show up on the Field Test app on my iPhone. I do believe they are working on adding more capacity to this site or they don't have the needed backhaul going to this site as the highest I ever see from this tower is around 70 Mbps download and 30-40 Mbps upload. Which is still really good from what we did have before. Would be awesome to see speeds towards 200 Mbps or higher, like most of the other Ultra Capacity sites around this area.

As I am sure you know, the Field Test app on iPhone is FAR from reliable. If iPhone works the same as Android, if you see 5GUC in your notification bar then you are connected to n41.

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
