I'm a little surprised Roseville is first, but this is really cool.  Now if only they'd get the one that services the Galleria mall cuz reception in there sucks and the free wifi is worse than 3G.  I wonder why there were no towers on the mall itself.  Too expensive perhaps?  I know the last general manager there would have gotten things done quick if a deal could be struck.  This current GM doesn't strike me as particularly competent.

Yep. Sponsor only. 

 

Work is beginning all over that region. Possibly that area had backhaul available first so contractors began to work there.

 

The roseville galleria mall I believe has a DAS system or repeaters inside. It is literally a giant concrete  and steel block which isn't that conducive to exterior wireless signals...

Yep Sprints up there! Very top rack. You can barely see the RRU's up there clearly but the slightly rounded antennas in addition to the fact that they're different looking in comparison to google street view all but confirms sprint is up there! Good one. 

 

 

ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

sweeet! I'm thinking between the lower sac and sacramento st towers I should have excellent coverage when they hit the switch.

I can't think of the Galleria without drooling. Ruth's Chris and Il Fornaio. Two of some of my favorite restaurants.

It sucks when your girlfriend's favorite restaurant (Cheesecake Factory) is there too. Turns into a battle.

This is what I picked up on Sensorly today

Great work. Now we just gotta get some people to fill in the gaps on those streets. Let's beat up those t-mobile LTE sensorly folks who just roam on the highway mapping with some mapping of the actual streets.

This is not what I mapped actually. This is just the sensorly apps mapping of other people. Because I went down some other roads and had lte that are not mapped in that picture. How or can I look at what I have actually mapped in the app, I don't see it.

I'm off tomorrow so can hit up some of the streets but never used that sensorly map before.

It's very simple, you just go to the app and select map trip in the bottom right. Press start and drive around, press stop when you are done. I would bring a car charger and or make sure your phone has a full battery because this thing sucks the life out of the battery very fast.

Pretty sure the Iphone 5 or any IOS devices can't map on sensorly....

I just saw you have the iPhone 5 so the app might be a little different, I am on Android, but it should be pretty much the same thing.

I also hope SoftBank gets the Sprint deal completed quickly and Clearwire as well. Then let the next gen LTE roll out with building penetration.

Sprint upped the bid for clearwire to $5 a share today. Not to mention Sprint suing Dish and Clearwire. And Dish backing out of the Sprint deal this week. It's looking pretty well for Sprint/SoftBank.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Dish network down since 3:31am Signalcheck Pro reports the Dish Network, at least the site at Scioto-Darby Rd Near I-270  in Columbus Ohio, was last operational at 3:31am. I normally pickup signal from two other Dish sites as well.  Reported via downdetector.com as Boost Infinite but one is such a lonely number. Tried to manually reconnect to Dish, but network is not appearing. Hopefully scheduled maintenance.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By Dkoellerwx · Posted

      Probably a lot of Midwest towers. Slight bias since Nebraska is a weird market, but there are tons of USCC sites that T-Mobile isn't yet co-located on. Think a similar situation in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Missouri. But some other markets, like yours, probably don't have that issue!

      Sticky Customers - YES, and leave them flip to the T-Mobile PLMN when needed and they will be even more likely to Stick.

      It seems to me that if the goal is to improve rural, the US Cellular buy-out would get them only part of the way there, considering there are plenty of rural areas that US Cellular does not serve.  But I also have a hard time reading it the way I think that article is, that the cost of this deal comes straight out of the $9 billion.  I mean, they're getting spectrum for their existing operations in US Cellular markets, including places that I wouldn't call rural.  (Roanoke, VA is the 9th largest city in the state, for example.)  It seems like some of it should be allocated to rural expansion, but certainly not the whole purchase price. There's also something to be said for getting the customer base of potentially sticky customers who have been used to US Cellular being the only game in town for potentially decades. - Trip
