Fellow S4GRU Geeks!  It is time for my annual Summer Family Camping trip.  We were planning to go back to the Black Hills of South Dakota, but because of a mandatory work meeting that I could not get out of, I have had to shorten our trip and stay closer to home.

 

I will be on vacation from Thursday evening, July 18th through Wednesday, July 24th.  I will be in and out of coverage the whole time.  So my availability will be hit and miss.

 

Also, the days before and after my vacation, my work schedule is very busy.  And I'm behind on PM's, emails and forum responses.  I am going to try to take a few hours every day to go through my backlog, but if I don't respond to you before I leave please be patient with me.  If you see others complaining, or wondering where I am, please link them to this post.

 

Since I will be within a few hours of Castle Rock, Colorado, I plan to stop by and check out some Samsung equipment and LTE goodness.  If they started deploying on sites further south the I-25 corridor, I would be ecstatic!

Have an awesome vacation, Robert! Given all you do, I almost feel guilty for going on vacation for the next two weeks, seeing as how I just got back from a weekend of hiking and visiting breweries in Southern Oregon...almost. ;)

 

Enjoy your time away. You deserve it! May you have a relaxing time, filled with much Samsung equipment and LTE goodness, but above all, don't forget to Sensorly map! :D

I sense a conspiracy.  Castle Rock, eh?  Charlie must be letting Robert camp on his estate and giving Robert free Dish Network for life in order to get S4GRU to stop maligning him.

Excellent timing, I plan on being on vacation right about the same time. Hopefully I'll be spending lots of time on this https://www.google.com/mapmaker?ll=47.003378,-95.064354&spn=0.030905,0.061197&z=14&q=Potato+Lake,+Hubbard,+MN&utm_source=mapseditbutton_normal&gw=30&lyt=large_map_v3

Man, I think this is the equivalent of making fun of my heritage. That's low: :hee:

Have a good (well-deserved) vacation! Make sure to turn on your Nexus 4 every once in awhile; 10x10 LTE (which is live in at least some parts of the Denver metro...personal experience) is fun while we wait for 20MHz TD :)

We have 10x10 in Albuquerque already. Blazin'!

We are doing final packing. I'm inspecting the camper trailer and we should be on the road in an hour or so. See you guys in a week! Thanks to all of you who work behind the scenes, in the forums and help to cover so I can take a vacation with my family.

Bump! Just a reminder to all that I'm on vacation. Received a couple of impatient PM's today.

      Are you sure that's Direct to Cell? That sounds like the 911 center was offline and they got brought back online via a Starlink uplink. Which also makes way more sense than Direct to Cell for that area.

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

      https://www.yahoo.com/news/dallas-county-completes-first-911-194128506.html - First 911 call/text received over Starlink/T-Mobile direct to cell.  This appears to be in Dallas County, MO.
