I'm downtown at Freemont Park and I'm getting awesome b41

The majority of the lte connections everyone will be getting will be band 41 from the old clear network at least for the next few weeks. Sprint sites goes live one by one as backhaul is delivered and integrated whereas clear sites are just a simple software update. Performance and coverage will vary but at least it works.

Will the coverage from clear equipment be similar to what WiMax is since it is the same equipment?

Maybe a tiny bit improvement at the edge of cell but it'll mostly be the same since nothing has been physically touched.

 

The sprint 8t8r band 41 equipment is the good stuff but those haven't been activated or really deployed in Sacramento since they were focused on getting physical equipment installed at the sites.

 

You'll find a lot of them installed in Elk Grove, Modesto, Stockton, reno/sparks, and along the highways and other areas that were launched a while ago but none are active since they are still doing testing in the fits in Chicago.

 

Clear sites will typically peak at around 50-70 mbps while Sprints own B41 equipment will easily peak @ 100 mbps.

Got LTE in Midtown yesterday, all day. Not a strong signal, but I'll run a speed test when I get home.

 

Looks like it's finally here. :sunny:

I'll be back in midtown tomorrow afternoon. I will check from my office, too. Right now, I am checking out the LTE in Mather.

Over the weekend I got 57.49 Mbps down and 7.86 Mbps up in Elk Grove. Not sure what they changed out there, but I wasn't expecting that at all!

Clear band 41(i.e sprint spark) is being turned back on.

      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 coule potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.

      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.
