Now im at the 24hr superwalmart on Pleasant Grove Blvd Roseville and is on band 41.Impressive speeds.Mapping Sensorly.

 

If you want to hit up some Clearwire sites I suggest you go to SureWest Communications Facility off Washington Blvd, intersection of Junction Blvd & Foothills Blvd, Roseville Cemetary, and intersection of Atlantic street & Folsom Road.

*shrug* It's the norm around Rancho. Waiting for the rest of the area to be ready for a cluster launch.

It's alright - you don't have to provide an explanation for Sprints Sacramento/Rancho execution. All I know is it's 2014. I was done getting "excited" back in May of last year. I don't care anymore about seeing lifts by towers, issued permits, updated maps, internal rumors from contractor buddies and such.

 

Instead of being excited when that 4g icon pops up one my two year old LTE sprint device, I'll feel more like it's about damn time. For those who are gonna get all hurt about this coming across as a rant - OptimismYaySprintIt'scomingSoonIBelieveitinmyHeartHappy. There. Non rant.

I was going to go up to the roof on UCD to see if I could get some pictures of the antenna, but had a short conversation with a sprint contractor instead.  He said that they were done with all the towers in Davis and will be doing testing in the next week.  He also said they were going to cluster launch pretty soon.  They will be upgrading the network gear with fiber sometime in the future, but it isn't there as of now.  Sounds like good news to me, but im definitely taking it with a grain of salt based on what has been happening recently.

 

edit: and just like that, I'm roaming.  guess something is happening

For those (few) of us who are not Sprint customers (yet), or who are customers but for whatever reason have not gotten the text (yet), could someone who received it transcribe the text? I'd like to know what Sprint is finally saying officially about upgrade progress in this market.

    • 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.
    • 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.  
    • Still not seeing any ULS postings for pending T-Mobile UScellular merger in Dane county Wisconsin.
