Would Sprint use copper backhaul by chance? Reason I ask is there is a antenna that looks like fresh copper that has been run within half a mile from the antenna location. I may just have never noticed the white and orange poles sticking from the ground but I drive this road once a week and just noticed it tonight.

They use whatever conforms to their specs for the best value which could include copper based mediums like coax cable.

Actually I changed my mind and banned DetroitFlyer. I will not apologize for Sprint or make excuses for them. Sprint is months behind schedule in Michigan. So be it. But the first site completed in

OK...I've found the setting. Administrator posts can be liked now.

The update is in progress. I got about half way through over the weekend. I hope to have it finished up in the next few days.   Using Nexus 6 on Tapatalk

Which are?

 

Well everything looks to be consistently one year behind schedule.

 

So if your market is scheduled to be done by Q2, 2014. And its at 0% now......

 

The markets that actually have progress are already indicating they wont be done until fall 2014.

I'll be totally honest with you. I don't like those "Estimated Completion Dates" especially since things are so influx and its hard to predict when a market is complete.  I think its actually better to either remove it or be realistic and push all completion dates 9-12 months back to what they currently are.  I honestly don't think Network Vision will be done until end of 2015 with LTE upgraded and not just the NV sites all upgraded.

This is another thing we have debated several times. I even wanted to remove the completion dates. However, most of our members wanted them to stay. So I've kept them.

I love network vision these are 2 spots that used to have less than .50 Mbps now they are great and these are a decent peak times. I don't even need LTE if these speeds stay consistent (don't get me wrong cant wait for LTE, just to try it).

May not be the right thread but I have got a site that my phone connects to but doesnt show up on the NV Map. 2000 Lester Rd, Nesbit MS. I thought i was using the one of Starlanding rd. I bought SignalCheck Pro last night and once it showed me this tower i started doin g some digging and its not on the map. Maybe it is an old IDEN site that is shutting down soon or maybe the Starlanding Rd site is displaying the wrong address. Thanks for any help on this guys.

Chances are the app is displaying wrong location of tower as sprint offsets location in some markets ans you have to use a triangular approach to locate the tower (using each bsid broadcast location) from that one tower

Anyone know what happened to the topic/thread regarding West Kentucky Market, Louisville, Evansville, and Bowling Green? I was following that one pretty religiously as I live in Louisville. Posted to it once, and now I think I may have killed it, LOL. Again, thanks for the info folks.

I bookmarked the page the first time, and somewhere along the way, the link stopped working. I got an error message along the lines of the topic not being found or something. Thank you lilotimz for posting the link.

The name probably changed, though a quick search using that handy dandy search bar at the top would've brought it right up for ya.

We recently learned that Sprint launches a market when 60% of their POP's have LTE service.

I wonder if that is based on their incorrect LTE maps?  You know the ones that shows LTE coverage in voice roaming areas...;)

The Sprint marketing team has serious issues defining LTE coverage, that's for sure.

My brother found LTE service in a rural area that was previously roaming only (maybe the cell site was down for years).

This isn't what we are talking about.  We're talking about the LTE data maps on Sprint.com where you toggle back and forth between voice/data and it shows all the sites to have more LTE coverage than voice coverage.  I usually go by the voice map to determine the actual LTE coverage.

I thought the quote from the Sprint rep was 40% of POPs.

      SignalCheck - Android app to monitor your Wi-Fi/2G/3G/4G LTE/5G-NR signal strengths

      By mikejeep · Posted

      After several months of testing, an update to SignalCheck Pro is rolling out on Google Play. It may take up to 48 hours to become available for download. Notable changes include: Added option to display site notes for NSA 5G-NR cells. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show NSA 5G-NR Site Notes) will cause the app to make an "educated guess" as to what the most appropriate site note is linked to the connected NSA 5G cell, using the PCI and the device location. If it finds an existing entry that is likely to be relevant, it will display the note along with the distance from where the strongest signal from that cell was logged. While connected to NSA 5G, these notes cannot be edited; a valid NCI is required to add/edit notes and that information is not available on NSA connections.   Added option to log cells with missing/invalid PLMN (such as NSA 5G-NR cells). Users asked for the ability to log data for NSA 5G, so a new option (Preferences > Logger Settings > Log Cells with Missing PLMN) will permit this.   Added option to display LTE info above 5G-NR info. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show LTE Cells Above 5G-NR Cells) shows the same information that is currently displayed, but moves the LTE information above the 5G-NR information. Other changes: Code optimizations and enhancements. Improved Android 15 compatibility. Overhauled Purchases module. Resolved force closes impacting some GSM/LTE connections. Resolved issue with improper 5G-NR PLMN display when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with improper PLMN display with single-digit MNCs. Resolved issue with incorrect 5G-NR bands displayed on some devices due to Android bug. Resolved issue with incorrect number of neighbor cells displayed when some cells were unknown. Resolved issue with missing 5G-NR data when sector display is enabled. Resolved issue with saving 5G-NR site notes when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with settings to log missing GCI/NCI/TAC/PLMN being ignored. Resolved issues with web data export function. Updated internal libraries. Updated provider database. Updated target API to Android 15. I appreciate all of your support, and a big thank you to the members of the Beta Crew that help with testing and feedback!

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      Stopped by again today and the antennas are up but it isn't live just yet. If other Sprint conversions are anything to go by it'll likely take about a month for the site to go live.

      SignalCheck Beta Crew Forum

      By mikejeep · Posted

      It is an Android bug that was reportedly fixed in August 2023 but definitely has not been. I have implemented numerous workarounds in SCP to correct the NR bands the app displays. The OS ignores the possibility that many NR-ARFCNs are valid across multiple bands.. it reports the lowest NR band that is valid for the current ARFCN. In your example, channel 432530 can be n1, n65, or n66.. so the OS just (lazily) reports n1.   Awesome, thanks! I will add an n65 override also.
