So a bunch of new building permits for existing sprint towers in my town have popped up. Does that mean LTE will be here soon? How long could it take to get towers upgraded? I know about 8 towers and see the permits for all of them. Oh and it says SBA Communications are doing the upgrades. I live in Yakima, WA. Thanks for any info

Permitting only means they're approved to start working by the City/State/County. They still need approval from the property owner to start work. They need to schedule times on when they can start after that approval is received. Scheduling the Backhaul provider is required. Among many other things unfortunately. It can be anywhere for 3 weeks to 18 months. Sorry for killing the good vibes of permits.

 

Once you start seeing Cabinets and RRHs being installed in the area, you know you're moving forward:

We have sites here in Columbus that have had permits for 6 months and haven't been touched yet.

      The DAS at LGA Terminal B actually has n41 at 100+20, but if you are deprioritized, good luck on the busy days, as all the bands are congested, even B41 and n41, with data being worse than 128kbps international roaming. It has SA active for n41 as well. The L train tunnel is actually 80+20 for n41, with SA n41 active. Speeds aren't anything compared to Philadelphia's DAS system that has n41 though. The gig+ upgrades are expanding, as eNBs 894588 (Sprint convert site) and 55987 can both pass 1 Gbps now. Clocked nearly 1.3Gbps on eNB 55987 today.

      Yup 80MHz C-band + 40MHz DoD for a total of 120MHz. They should be pretty well setup post-clearance. — — — — — Famous Verizon site on Atlantic referenced in this reddit post got moved to the top of the building next door. — — — — — Also looks like I mapped a T-Mobile oDAS node eNB 347812 in Brooklyn Heights. Streetview shows it as one of the CC nodes with no antenna on top as of May 2022 but this specific eNB was first mapped this month. I didn't notice that I mapped it until I got home but the range on it is significantly greater than the normal "antenna-less" nodes T-Mobile deploys. I'm wondering if it got upgraded to the new 5G oDAS design but I won't be able to check it out until next weekend.

      I didn't know they had access to 80 MHz of c-band that does change some things then once that's online

      While I've been loath to update my Samsung devices past the May 2022 update to keep the Band Selection tool, I note that it looks like Android 14 is going to add Timing Advance for NR to the API.  (Was looking today as I have another Verizon A42 5G now that I'm going to unlock for T-Mobile, and wanted to figure out if I should let it update or not.)  Since I can technically make band changes from *#73#, on the A42 5Gs, I can probably live without the Band Selection tool if a later Android version adds something useful like TA values. I assume SCP will be updated to support that once it becomes publicly available.  The real question is whether or not the phones will support it.  My S21FE and A42 5G devices do on LTE, but I know the S22 and the A32 5G do not support it even on LTE, providing just zero in that field. - Trip
