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.

      Since T-Mobile is testing the fiber waters for a time when FWA needs to be paired back, here is an article comparing the two costs (performance differences not mentioned): https://www.fierce-network.com/broadband/nextlink-ceo-compares-fixed-wireless-fiber.

      SignalCheck - Android app to monitor your Wi-Fi/2G/3G/4G LTE/5G-NR signal strengths

      By mikejeep · Posted

      A new SignalCheck Pro update is now available on Google Play! Notable changes: Improved duplicate LTE GCI cleanup function. Duplicates with the greater number of recorded connection 'hits' will now be kept. Duplicate entries appear for a variety of reasons but can cause neighbor cell notes to display improperly. Strongly recommend running this cleanup function occasionally. Improved site note logging functionality. Better matching of co-located cells and prior Sprint sites. Overhauled display functions to fully re-sync all information when reopening app or with swipe-down gesture. The swipe-down gesture now essentially restarts the core functions of the app. Other changes: Added 5G-NR band to notification pulldown title. Added accent colors for additional wireless providers. Added option to disable street address geocoding when editing a site note; coordinates will populate instead. Code optimizations and enhancements. Improved identification of unregistered 5G-NR cells. Improved LTE PLMN identification on some devices. Resolved issue with log import proceeding when log backup fails. Resolved issue with some 5G-NR connections displaying improper band. Resolved issue with some 5G-NR neighbor cells displaying improper band. Updated internal libraries. As always, I appreciate everyone's support. Dual SIM bugs are *still* being ironed out but it is a priority to resolve. Thanks!
