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.

      I really apreciate no longer seeing n38 for T-Mobile. My s24 Ultra is reporting that Signalcheck Pro is crashing frequently.  It has the latest updates. I do occassional change sims and band preferences. Let me know if you need anything else.   Thanks.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Spent a lot of time in Westchester this weekend, specifically Yonkers and White Plains. I mapped three AT&T Nokia -> Ericsson conversions. I was super impressed with T-Mobile's macro density and not so much with AT&T's. In Yonkers it seems like T-Mobile macros outnumber AT&T macros 3 to 1 and in White Plains, 2 to 1. Another surprise was the lack of small cells on AT&T in both cities. While Cellmapper shows White Plains having no small cells, I did manage to find one in the Church Street neighborhood. While it's only one, it's an indication to me that T-Mobile intends on expanding n41 density with small cells in the city. On the other hand, in Yonkers T-Mobile has a ton of LTE small cells but none of them have been upgraded to 5G yet as far as I can tell. Crown Castle has been moving super fast in NYC and Long Island to upgrade and install new 5G small cells so I can only assume it's either a permitting or backhaul issue that's stopping them from moving full steam ahead there. — — — — — Came across this cool site in Yonkers with Verizon, T-Mobile, and Dish present.

      Other two sectors finally installed. Hopefully it goes live soon though I know from past experience that these new builds can take weeks and in some cases months to go live.
