Activity is well under way in the Gulf Coast market from vendor Ericsson.  GMO sites are nearly 100% complete, and full build sites are beginning now.  I am creating this thread as a placeholder for our members to discuss Sprint Network Vision deployment in the Gulf Coast market.

First LTE site accepted yesterday in the Gulf Coast market.  Just west of Moss Point/Pascagoula, Mississippi!  Will be uploaded to Sponsor maps in a few hours.

Heard any new updates for July?

 

Things are continuing to move, a couple of new 4G sites have popped up in the Gulf Coast market and you can see folks have found them and mapped them on Sensorly.com

thanks, I was trying to look for something like that last night but to no avail, lol

 

Looks like some spots in around Moss Point, MS, another near Foley, and some around Mobile atm.  I looked a little to the east and saw a spot for Tallahassee, FL (not Gulf Coast, heh)

 

They started on WiMax in Pensacola, but we were one of those last markets that they never finished, =^(

Clearwire never actually started WiMax deployment in Pensacola. They just came in and set up Protection Sites.

About 20 minutes ago 4G is on in Pensacola. Well where I live. Can't speak for the rest of the city.

 

Make sure to map your coverage with the Sensorly app! There are currently two sites active with LTE in the area, but more should come online and coverage will grow over the next couple months.

My father just got a SG4 phone at the Sprint store near Pensacola, FL and said they had 4G in the store area, but nothing on sensorly, yet.

Just thought I'd mention it and hoping to see more LTE in Pensacola spread!  =^)

Yea, I started mapping it today, at least I think I was doing it correctly...

 

Connect to 4G by cycling airplane mode if needed.  Then fire up Sensorly and hit map trip, then start.  Let it eat. 

 

You'll see on the details screen the points uploading periodically.  I just make sure they upload all after stopping the trip and closing.

I spent a day after New Year's in Orange Beach, AL.  Good 4G LTE coverage outside, but almost nonexistent 3G/4G penetration inside a normal Hilton Garden Inn room.  To make phone calls, I had to stay in the lobby by a window.

 

Unfortunately, the hotel WiFi was not robust enough for internet calling, so no alternative!  :(

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.

      T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

      By Dkoellerwx · Posted

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
