I'd be cheering but 

 

Davis has been cluster launched for network vision 3g and 3g 800 mhz or they're actively testing it.

Where's the Davis folks' cheers?   ;)

 

I'd be cheering but unfortunately I've been getting the same speeds :'( Just heard from the building manager that they are going back up there tonight though to possibly take down the old equipment since they already have a crane in the area.

Very pleasant surprise on the way to the Kings game tonight.  4G LTE from JSO Dunnigan to the north end of Woodland.  Started mapping on sensorly as soon as i noticed it.  Absolutely HORRIBLE service in and around the arena, if this in indicative of the rest of the Sacramento area I really hope y'all get some relief soon.

 

.  Anyone else been up north of Sac and noticed it?

I live 2 miles from the arena. We are on Verizon right now but are planning a switch to Sprint when Sacramento goes live on LTE. It's worth noting there is a Sprint cell site at the arena property.

I toggled airplane mode but couldn't pick up LTE near the mall in Modesto around 4 pm today on my Galaxy Note 2.

I live like 5 mins from the mall and there is no LTE up and running yet that i'm aware of.

Thanks a lot! you always have the answers

 

Seems like they are doing more testing in Davis.  I have been watching SignalChecker and it has jumped from 1x800 to 1xRTT and back around 5 or 6 times and I have been roaming a lot too.

sucks! I get LTE pretty much everyday down by the downtown plaza...BUT the speeds are SLOOWWWWW. Not LTE in anything but name.

If there is only one site on in the area, then it will be overloaded with too many users. Especially in a dense area like Downtown. It will take more sites coming online to provide proper capacity.

makes sense...but why only turn on >1< site?!? I should just turn LTE off on my phone until I hear more about the launch. It switching to LTE actually kills my data...

They haven't turned on a single site since July in Sacramento as they began focusing on converting sites as fast as possible in order to mitigate ecsfb gaps.

How long does this usually take? Does this mean we will need Sacramento to be cluster launched for 3G and then wait MORE for the backhaul?

For several seconds this morning, 4G LTE flashed on my phone two separate times after I totally lost my 3G connection and the bars. This was off Kilgore Rd. near the Sprint building in Rancho Cordova, This also briefly happened about a month ago. Sprint has a tower in their parking lot. I did ask someone about it, they said they thought it was from a tower on White Rock Road....but no way to confirm this

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      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.

      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.
