Yeah I've been connecting to more 1x800 the last couple of days. Changes the sound quality for sure. I think the note 2 still has its 1x800 support closed via prl though. Something's going on though for sure. Also been some data issues for myself. The other day my local tower was broadcasting evdo and 1x800 only, all three devices of mine connected to them. Maybe just more backhaul and LTE site acceptance but idk for sure. Guess now that's its finally above zero degrees they are back to work :). Cant wait to see band 26 show up in town.

I cannot believe Legere has resorted to paying off deer in North Dakota. Glad you are ok...

Someone needs to alert the EPA to this "Sensorly pollution."  It cost me a day of my life.   AJ

Not sure what's going on in GF today, but i had to switch to cdma only mode to get any 3g at all. When I had it set to LTE/cdma, signal check said i was connected to ehrpd, but there was no data at all.

Found a bunch of 1x800 yesterday however though. And started seeing much higher 3g speeds off my local tower during peak congestion times, feels like backhaul is installed. Must be working again in our area, hopefully.

Good news, bumped into an Ericsson employee yesterday. They are back in town doing work again :) Also he hinted at plans for new towers, not just a wrap up of NV but actual expansion. Don't know how much more I should say.

Lmao just checking if anyones paying attention. Ill say this we talked about western dakota, 150 new towers, and he was a sr construction project manager.

So maybe this new rack being installed here on an AT&T site in Rapid City might be Sprint???

He complained about the trip up i29 from sioux to fargo, said "were going to fix that" Apparently work extends past Grand Forks, And a steady stream down 94. Towns mentioned included the oil patch areas, as well as minot even. Apparently hwy 2 wont see love though.

Oh and not that he implied thier installation but we talked about the new nsn panels and how promising they are.

 

Considering the Dakotas is all Samsung territory NSN and Ericsson have no authority there. I wonder what type of antenna NSN is using for B41 hmm...

Well I got his business card sitting here. Im also assuming he's less network side and more construction of towers.

 

Might wanna ask him if NSN is using their special 2 sector antennas for their B41 deployment.

      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.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
