Network Vision/LTE - Upper Central Valley Market (Sacramento, Stockton, Redding, Eureka & Reno/Lake Tahoe)

How come the coverage isn't that good?

Not all sites are live and the rest of the network is not live. Lte 1900/800 would fill in the gaps where 2500 does not reach.

I think they should've divided the UCV market into two. Huge market!

 

Ranges from Patterson all the way to Reno and north of redding.

 

"Upper Central Valley" & "Lower Central Valley" should be ringing a bell.

Not what I meant though.

Not enough sites in the Reno/Tahoe area to justify another market. Not enough sites in the Redding/Chico area to justify a separate market. So adding these areas to the Sacto/Stockton makes sense.

 

The UCV market is pretty condensed if you remove the far flung Eureka and Wendover sites.

First major cluster in the Sacramento MTA has been NV 3G accepted and integrated!

 

Elk Grove,CA

 

I never thought this day would come. So does this mean that ALL of Elk Grove is NV 3G accepted or only a certain area?

All of it. See for yourself in the sponsor section.

You should be a sponsor. Totally worth it! If you can't afford Premier Sponsorship at least be a regular Sponsor for $10-$15 donation.

Just ran this speed test from inside my house on a rainy day with only 2 bars/circles of service.

Doesn't look that bad and it's usable but could be better so I guess it's probably on old T1 backhual at the moment. 

 

To confirm you're on NV 3G you want to check the engineering screen and look at the NID for a value of 200 something and SID in the 2xxxx range.

I soon hope to take full advantage of B41. I bought a Nexus5 and am waiting for sprint to deliver my SIM card. ????

And take advantage of the maps we have here to find the towers around your parts!

 

:)

    • 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.
    • Same with factory unlocked
