Very nice. Hopefully more sites will come online in a rapid pace and give people the service they deserve after sticking out with Sprint after all these months/years of bad data speeds.

whats nextel synergy site to boot mean?

 

The thin and long panels are old Nextel iDen antennas. The smaller antenna to the side is the legacy 3g antenna. Nextel synergy sites are where sprint took off one nextel iden antenna and put a 3g antenna on it. 

 

--Oh and a bigger image of the one you have.

Was it noticeable when work was being done on the tower? Because if it was I just might  start driving around checking out towers. Kind of expecting a blanket of purple by the end of July.

Pretty sure it's the same tower, but my wife reports that she's getting LTE in the Kaiser medical center off Cirby and Riverside.  27.5 down and 7.7 up.  Sweet!

YESSSS

That's awesome!

Samsung Network VIsion Antennas with SMR 800 RRU & PCS 1900 RRU!!!!!!! Submitted to In progress map!!! That might be one of the next accepted sites. Well done! If you have the time, check the other issued permit in Lodi as well!

Sweeeeet!!! I was looking up at them thinking, "those can't be that old, they almost look shiny!"

haha. This place is pretty small so I'll go around to the other cell sites nearby and snap some pics.

I've seen those but I haven't found anything to compare it against. Do we have a thread/links to images of pre-nv hardware?

 

Nope. Way too many different vendors from over the years but Sacramento and surrounding regions were nortel stuff so.

So on my drive from North Highlands to Davis this morning, I had no signal from around Northgate all the way to the causeway.  First time that has ever happened in the 9 months I have been making this commute.  Could be a coincidence, but maybe not?

Anything in Delhi, CA or turlock, ca?

 

Delhi is part of the Lower Central Valley so i dont keep track of things there. Better to ask in the lower central valley thread. Turlock has nothing issued yet but shouldn't be too far away as Modesto and surrounding area is humming along quite nicely in terms of permits issued. Work probably already began in Modesto.

I snapped some pics of the sites on beckman rd, lodi ca and e pine st, lodi ca. I'll be uploading them when I get home tonight.

 

The pine street ones look promising, but the Beckman rd tower was too far back on someone's property to see it really well. The panels on that tower were the thin legacy-looking ones, but there could have been some NV ones too. I'll have to head back out with some binoculars or my girlfriend's camera. That one has some optical zoom and I might be able to get just close enough to make out the panels.

    • Just mapped at least 8 5G small cells (all 109xxxx gNBs) while driving on the Southern State. They all seem to be n25/n41. I'm pretty sure nearly all of them are upgrades of existing small cells as opposed to new builds but I'm glad to see Crown Castle/T-Mobile hard at work getting midband 5G on all of these. Each of the unpinned gNBs belong to 1-2 small cells. I still can't pin these sites until the Cellmapper devs give us the option to split cells for 5G sites.
    • Their offers have been crap recently, so this is just more evidence to not buy from T-Mobile. 
    • T-Mobile Will Soon Prevent Early Payoff Of Phones Receiving Bill Credits If you finance a phone with T-Mobile it will remain locked until paid off but now you won't be able to pay off early. If you don't currently purchase your phones from the manufacturer here is another reason it might be a good idea.
    • 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.  — — — — —  Old permit for this new install expired but a new one was recently issued. It's gonna be similar to the site at 360 Forman St in Brooklyn Heights. Permit calls for only 3 antennas to be installed so I'm assuming it gonna be Band 2/41/66 and n25/41 only which is a bit of a downgrade from the now decommissioned full build that was on 871 7th Ave but in it's current state the nearest macro is a few blocks away and a small cell at Broadway and 55th is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the area so anything helps.  
    • Still not seeing any ULS postings for pending T-Mobile UScellular merger in Dane county Wisconsin.
