Labor Day vacation in Galveston, TX.  Look what is across the street from my rented Condo!

Of course I already knew that it was here, that's why I rented this unit.  Being on the beach was a contributing factor too.   :tu:  :tu:  :tu:

Why does it always feel so nice to be right under a cell tower? When I tell other people, they never seem understand me.  :P

The microwave backhaul is for Clear.

 

It is built up off the ground due to storm surge from hurricanes.

Ah, i was thinking since they could get a better deal on microwave backhaul than fiber like what T-Mobile has done in hawaii

about 85% of sites have Microwave (in Maui)

Microwave is more expensive to install than fiber, if the fiber is nearby. If there is no access to fiber, then they will run microwave links to bridge fiber access to these sites. However, Clearwire used mostly microwave. It was their preferred backhaul solution.

 

But one thing we should remember is that microwave is connected to fiber somewhere. Microwave should be considered a fiber connection where the final connection to the site is via a microwave airlink.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.

      Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.

      What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
