The crew is now working on the tower in Westlake off of Sampson Street     Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

This is all that I laid down today which leads me to believe the cell site is very close to the plant I work in as that area has the best signal so I will do some searching in the coming days. I will

Lake Charles is live! Still have a ways to go, but it's about damn time.

I've been getting a ton of dropped calls here recently.  The sound is fine and then it just drops.  Is this a result of the Network Vision upgrades in progress?

There is currently 3 towers in the Sulphur, Maplewood area that have had upgrades accepted. One is west of 108 on Maplewood Dr. ,one is off of Swisco rd and Carbide Rd and the 3rd is on Houston River Rd not far from Beglis. If you are by one it is possible they are causing problems

I'm not even a mile from the Maplewood tower. Thanks.

My shop is off of Maplewood & Hazel. I've been getting some great 3G speeds as of late. ;)

Nice! Quicker than I thought! I hope you are mapping it out on Sensorly for others. Please post LTE engineering screen shots as well as I may do a spreadsheet for this market to keep track of serving cells.

I just had gotten out the gate at work and saw the 4g icon lit up... I'm gonna have to turn sensorly on and ride back by the plant so I can map it out. As the tower I'm on now isn't lte active yet.

I highly recommend the LTE discovery app from the play store. It will cycle the airplane mode to help find it. The SignalCheck app is also good for showing your LTE signal strength as the bars only shows your 1x signal strength.

 

Make sure you hit map trip and start on sensorly then lay down some purple.

Sensorly website  appears to be down right now. I am not sure if that will hinder mapping

I'm sure the Lake Charles folks will be jealous!  ;)  But this definitely means their turn is right around the corner! 

 

Seeing your screenshots I hope the ROM you have they didn't change the carrier files to their name (some idiot developers do this), otherwise Sensorly won't lay down anything on the map. 

 

So where is this located in Port Arthur?

I just mapped something about 30 minutes ago in Baton Rouge and it came up fine.

Its the L shape on the port Arthur map I laid all that down the tower that I suspect is throwing Lte signals is on hwy 73 between 9th ave and memorial blvd. I also hit Lte on hwy 365 but it might not be ready as it kept kicking me off

Nice job!  I see it on the map now. 

 

Go into your LTE Engineering screen.  Dial ##DEBUG#, the code is 777468 (SPRINT).  Pick LTE engineering.  Even though you are not connected it should have a three digit serving cell.  These will be very important to determine if you have a second site or not.

Those aren't good signals so you must be far. The best I have seen personally is a -55 or so. Generally if you have a -70 to -80 the tower is in view. -118 or so and it is about to go bye bye.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Spent a lot of time in Westchester this weekend, specifically Yonkers and White Plains. I mapped three AT&T Nokia -> Ericsson conversions. I was super impressed with T-Mobile's macro density and not so much with AT&T's. In Yonkers it seems like T-Mobile macros outnumber AT&T macros 3 to 1 and in White Plains, 2 to 1. Another surprise was the lack of small cells on AT&T in both cities. While Cellmapper shows White Plains having no small cells, I did manage to find one in the Church Street neighborhood. While it's only one, it's an indication to me that T-Mobile intends on expanding n41 density with small cells in the city. On the other hand, in Yonkers T-Mobile has a ton of LTE small cells but none of them have been upgraded to 5G yet as far as I can tell. Crown Castle has been moving super fast in NYC and Long Island to upgrade and install new 5G small cells so I can only assume it's either a permitting or backhaul issue that's stopping them from moving full steam ahead there. — — — — — Came across this cool site in Yonkers with Verizon, T-Mobile, and Dish present.

      Other two sectors finally installed. Hopefully it goes live soon though I know from past experience that these new builds can take weeks and in some cases months to go live.

      Which is not surprising given that Verizon’s entire 5G network consists of only C-band and mmWave in most of their coverage area. I’m more surprised that despite having a 5G network that’s almost entirely made up of only two super fast and super high capacity bands, both T-Mobile and AT&T showed higher average speeds on 5G according to OpenSignal. I would’ve expected Verizon to be a close second to T-Mobile but it was a blowout.
