So what does this all mean in regards to when scramento/Rancho will get lte?

 

 

Rancho has pretty much all of their antennas updated, save maybe one tower (from what I have seen). They will likely be cluster launched with Folsom, Citrus Heights, Carmichael, and likely Sacramento, too. We're just waiting for the rest of the physical upgrades to be completed. I have gotten hits of LTE at my house in Rancho. There is a tower south of Mather that is active and has been for quite some time.

I know it is a small longshot, but is there any idea if the little town of Loomis and Penryn getting any 4G love anytime in the near future?

 

I believe I did see some Rocklin activity a few weeks back, but still no switch thrown.

Anybody here know for sure what is going on up here in Redding/Anderson? The employee at the mall kiosk said that the "4G that is way faster than all the others" will be here in January. He also said that we would see it flicker off and on this month while it's being tested. I have not seen it at all and I can't find anything online about it being here.

I have been with Sprint since 2003 and my contract is up in February and I'm seriously considering leaving. I know for a fact that ATT, Verizon, and T-Mobile all have 4G LTE here. T-Mobile also has unlimited data and my bill would be almost exactly what I pay now.

Feel free to leave when that time comes. All ill say is I expect Redding to be the next major cluster to fire up. When? I don't know. It'll happen when it happens.

I be honest if they don't Have LTE unlit end your contract you should leave them unless you not getting good deal with t.mobile n I don't recommend going to AT&T n vrizon cuz their expense n not unlimited.... Just a warning even though t.mobile much faster it's kinda spotty

Does sprint ever build new towers? Cause they need to in foresthill that city is growing.

Sprint adds new towers occasionally. I'm sure it's very expensive to do so and far less expensive to just upgrade existing towers. Once the 800Mhz band is up and running you should get a signal in a lot of places you didn't before assuming you have a Sprint Spark (tri-band) phone.  This link shows a new tower in Washington DC.

This just in, from a connection I have on the project...

 

"I don’t have a specific timeline to provide, but I will tell you that you should be really close.  Really close to seeing that 4G/LTE light appear on your phone."

I occasionally (maybe a few on again/off again hits within about half an hour every other week) get LTE to come up on my phone at my house in Rancho and definitely driving around the airport in Mather. Surprisingly, I actually got a second or two of LTE when I was at the Carl's Jr. on Folsom and Mather Field Road last night. Here's hoping it is soon.   :)

 

 

Will they be doing a cluster launch for lte?

In the Sacramento and Redding/Red Bluff area, yes (so far as I know). Maybe a cluster launch for the Stockton area, too. The smaller towns along Hwy 99 and I-5, I'm not sure they will be cluster launched. 

 

Edit: I get LTE in Roseville when I have occasion to go up there. I had to go to the UCD Med Clinic over the late summer a few times and I had it consistently in that part of town.

Any idea when will it happen? You think how much towers will get activated in a cluster launch?

      Network Vision/LTE - Long Island Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Just mapped at least 8 5G small cells (all 109xxxx gNBs) while driving on the Southern State. They all seem to be n25/n41. I'm pretty sure nearly all of them are upgrades of existing small cells as opposed to new builds but I'm glad to see Crown Castle/T-Mobile hard at work getting midband 5G on all of these. Each of the unpinned gNBs belong to 1-2 small cells. I still can't pin these sites until the Cellmapper devs give us the option to split cells for 5G sites.

      Their offers have been crap recently, so this is just more evidence to not buy from T-Mobile.

      T-Mobile Will Soon Prevent Early Payoff Of Phones Receiving Bill Credits If you finance a phone with T-Mobile it will remain locked until paid off but now you won't be able to pay off early. If you don't currently purchase your phones from the manufacturer here is another reason it might be a good idea.

      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.  — — — — —  Old permit for this new install expired but a new one was recently issued. It's gonna be similar to the site at 360 Forman St in Brooklyn Heights. Permit calls for only 3 antennas to be installed so I'm assuming it gonna be Band 2/41/66 and n25/41 only which is a bit of a downgrade from the now decommissioned full build that was on 871 7th Ave but in it's current state the nearest macro is a few blocks away and a small cell at Broadway and 55th is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the area so anything helps.
