Found the Austin map in the sponsor area, the first three towers I posted are AU73XC460, DA04XC049, and AU73XC461 respectively. Not sure why the tower at 3460 N Lakeline blvd has a DA at the beginning. Robert if you update those with the relative times NV work starts I'll go take pictures as work progresses.

This is as close as I could get.

Here's one of my local towers. I've always thought that the top rack was just iDEN, but was just recently told that CDMA is on this tower as well.     I believe that the lower setup is Clear's WiMa

Either some birds have taken roost between those antennas or that tower is in need of a Brazilian wax.   AJ

Hi everybody,

 

New guy here.

I'm very interested in these kind of topics, but I'm just learning.

 

I've read a lot about the Sprint's Network Vision, but one question keeps me awake at night.

What the hell happens with all the iDEN base stations that Sprint is shutting down? Do they sell them to other iDEN operators around the world? Sell them back to Motorola (for some form of recycling, maybe)? Sell them as garbage?

Whether the equipment gets scrapped or repurposed for international use would really depend on the health and status of the Nextel/iDEN networks in Latin America.

Thank you.

Do you have any info of what happened with those base stations that have been turned off already?

 

Basically I want to know if there is a business opportunity to buy and recycle them. But the opportunity won't exist if they are already selling them to other iDEN operators, or reselling them back to Motorla.

Last tower looks like a relay site. All I see is four dishes but it's hard to tell with the resolution.

Is that a "stealth" tower?

Here's a pic of a tower that had a Ericsson truck working on it in Corpus Christi, Tx 48b726a4-1ddd-5b3b.jpg

Saw some guys working on the lower section of this tower near my house in Corpus Christi, TX. As far as I know, Corpus is not scheduled for NV until 2013 so I'm figuring they're working on the backhaul.

      Network Vision/LTE - Northern Jersey Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Mapped two n41 small cell sin Jersey City today. They're the first two to be mapped there in Jersey City as far as I can tell and interestingly they're consecutive gNBs, possibly indicating they were installed around the same time. gNB 1088335 appears to be an upgrade of an older small cell. It looks identical to the T-Mobile n41 small cell I mapped earlier this year in Old Westbury.   I also mapped gNB 1088334 in Newport. This small cell appears to be a new build as I couldn't find any evidence of an older small cell in that area. Unfortunately no pic of it since I didn't even notice that I mapped it until I got home and I can't find it in Streetview.

      Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.

      Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.

      No? RCS on Google messages works great for me, messages between anyone with RCS enabled go through with no problems. Don't remember the last time I had an issue. I only have issues with people on iPhones on different carriers from T-Mobile.

      Has anyone experienced a ridiculous amount of difficulty with Google messages with RCS enabled?  It has been a train wreck for me for the past year so I now use WhatsApp.  That works very well for all of us.... Android and iOS.
