Where it says "map detail options" along the top of the map. You may have to be zoomed in to a certain point before they show up though. I think blue is new and green is future.

 

Got it, thanks!

Thanks for the info!

 

And, I do not have a LTE capable device so I will not be able to go check out the tower. Sorry. But, when I do get one I hope it is even closer to my house!

As some of you know, I live in Willmar MN. I was looking at sensorly today and I see purple in Kandiohi, like 10 minutes from my house! Idk if this is wrong or what this is...

 

A cell site was recently signed off as LTE ready in that area, so it is the real thing. Go check it out!

I don't have an LTE device, so I cannot speed test it. Sorry. :/

As long as we're admitting foolish things. I turn lte off to save battery. I get 3x the battery on cdma

Really? I've never seen a battery difference. Are you thinking it's due to the thin amount of LTE of at the moment?

Possible. I know some wireless technologies turn up the power when they can't find signal. Could be that even though it's on the same chip, lte is still a power hungry wireless technology. Could be anecdotal placebo, seems to help my phone last a day though!

I too have not seen any difference in battery life in LTE mode on any Sprint LTE device (except the GNex and Viper).

Last night I met some friends and the second I got off the highway I saw Samsung RRUs up on the tower nearst the highway eit and I was in "LTE Land". Northeast Minneapolis. A place called Psycho Suzi's Motor Lounge is where they wanted to meet. I had LTE the entire time. Nice.

    • 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.
