Thanks for the welcome! The information provided by this site about Sprint's rebuild is second to none. What I like the most about S4GRU is the focus is on information and not complaining. Once the complaining starts, it just snowballs out of control. The forums on Sprint.com are full of that!

Yeah, we learned early at S4GRU that we had to be the gestapo with rants/complaints.  Because then everyone tries to outdo each other and then all the posts are complaints.  No one wants to read through pages of complaints to find something of value.  And if they do, there are already lots of other sites they can go to for that.

 

Our format is appreciated by those who want to learn and participate in the discussion of Network Vision and Wireless Network Technology.  Thanks for your compliments!

Robert, I remember reading one of your comments in a thread that sums it all up. You said something close to this - 'All carriers have their strong and weak spots. Not every carrier works in every location.'  A prime example is my neighborhood here in KC. Sprint and TMobile have a strong to full signal while Verizon and ATT are 1 Bar or flatline.

Glad to see another Kansas City member! I'm in Springfield, MO now, but grew up in Lenexa. Moved away just after LTE finally went live, only to still be waiting for the most part down here  :rolleyes: haha.

    • 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 coule 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. 
    • Still not seeing any ULS postings for pending T-Mobile UScellular merger in Dane county Wisconsin.
    • 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.
