Brings back memories. That's where my eldest daughter went to Preschool. Awww...

 

I didn't know what LTE was back then. Heck, I didn't even have 3G back in those days. Progress!

Can't wait for Sacramento and Elk Grove sites to get accepted.

 

It is odd, however, that I used to get LTE in West Sac and the Pocket area but haven't been able to connect for over a month (on my iphone5). What happened to LTE in those areas?

They turned it off and I don't fault them for it as it provided terrible fringe coverage performance to the downtown & other areas and was overloaded to hell as no other tower within a 14 mile radius is live. I guess they rather have customers on the legacy than have a terrible experience on LTE. 

 

On the plus side I now get B41 all to myself! Hah!

What do you mean by a new build site?

Is there any way to find out if there are any permit applications for new cell sites?

 

You have to peruse through zoning and other government documents if you don't know exactly where they're negotiating to deploy a new site.

South Sac / Elk Grove and most of Clearwires Sacramento market wimax sites are slated to be converted to TDD-LTE functionality within the next two months. First batch are live or coming live soon with the second batch slated for april. Most, if not all, should be live with Band 41 by June. More information is available in the premier sponsor areas (there are tentative dates given for each cell site). 

 

Sprint has also began applying for permits for the deployment of new Samsung 8T8R TDD-LTE Band 41 RRH & Antennas over their network which should be underway by may.  

 

TDD-LTE 2500 (20mhz TDD), LTE 1900 (5x5mhz FDD), and LTE 800 (5x5mhz FDD) should be widespread almost immediately by the time Sprint / Samsung gets Sacramento NV 3G integrated (hoping late spring / early summer but am prepared to be disappointed again).

      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.
