Nextel Towers

[z250kid]

I decided to start a new thread why are Nextel towers installing microwave dishes? And 12 antennas? This is the Connecticut page http://www.ct.gov/cs...Q=248312=| Click on the Database of CSC-Approved Telecommunications Sites

Maybe NV conversions?

That would be sweet because there dead spots because sprint like to spread there towers apart buy skipping towers

I am not sure what you are talking about. That database includes lots of Nextel iDEN sites with 12 panels. But did you bother to check the dates on those site installs? They are are all 5-15 years old.

Using 12 panels? Not a chance.

Sprint has 9 panels currently that doesn't support that much lol. I know the new ones are multiband but still 3? Seems a little underkill

With multiple band software defined radios, you don't need as many panels. Network Vision is far more efficient in that regard.

I believe the old equipment only supported one band per panel, and only a couple of carriers each.

 

The new equipment is MUCH more capable than the old equipment. A single panel is capable of attaching multiple RRUs (6 I think) and those can independently support different bands within the spectrum available and multiple technologies (1xRTT/EvDO/LTE) out of the same panel.

With Nextel Going out will sprint relocate there new panels up higher to nextels position?

Maybe on some sites they will. I hope they can on as many as possible, but don't get your hopes up.

Probably not unless it was in the RF design. Going up higher isn't always a good thing.

That's correct. Higher is not better. It's only higher. In many places, especially in small cells and urban locations, going higher would make no difference. It would just be a waste of money.

You mean, "Don't set your hopes too high."
