I just discovered this site yesterday and already I've learned a lot more than I ever thought I would about Network Vision!!

 

I worked for Nextel for 7 years doing IT for all of their Wisconsin locations (until Sprint came along)  :td:

 

But not one to hold a grudge, I still have a Sprint phone and I got a really nice early retirement package in any event.  I knew iDEN backwards and forewards but now I'm learning about CDMA and, of course, Network VIsion.  It sure is a different animal!!

 

Even though I still have a lowly LG Optimus S, when it's time for an upgrade early next year I'll probably spring for a 4GLTE phone since by then the network in my area will actually support it.

Hee hee!  Thanks for all the comments especially the one about the screen name.  I use it on most blogs since Thomas really IS my name and my last name begins with M!!  I hope to have a good time here learning things about NV and maybe even contributing a few things too...

 

Now I have to come up with an appropriate avatar.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
