kyle_4thousand Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 So there's a tower on campus that has equipment on it that kind of look like NV antennas, but I'm not entirely sure. I know there's a clearwire site on the top of it, but the ones below it look like they could be NV. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilotimz Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Oh look a gangsta lean antenna,! Sent from my Nexus 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caspar347 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Unless someone else is using those same Powerwave antennas, I'd guess that's a Samsung high capacity NV site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle_4thousand Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Unless someone else is using those same Powerwave antennas, I'd guess that's a Samsung high capacity NV site. I hope so! For UCF being the 2nd largest university in the country with over 50k students, I would hope they would build a high capacity site there since it is basically smack dab in the middle of campus! However, this is an Ericcson market and I don't know how they build their high capacity sites. Plus there's no RRU's mounted up there for those antennas. I also walked past the base one day and noticed ATT base equipment that looked relatively new. I hope Sprint does have some NV equipment up there but is just waiting on something like a permit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you checked out the NV equipment spotting threads? Ericsson NV equipment is very easy to spot once you've seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobilesolutions Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Trust me you will be glad they treated that site properly. Our campus site in Norman plays host to the 40K of us daily and the speeds have tanked hard. I have signal most everywhere and in some classes but a speed test yields 2mbps. Not what you might expect with a -80dBm connection. -William Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably 3 or 4 sites on the campus? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are supposed to have 2 sites, the second is about a few hundred meters off the campus but just this week they removed all the legacy gear and even removed the antenna mounting masts and stripped/gutted the entire site. Hoping to see signs of something in remediation soon. For now there is a few neighborhoods in East Norman that may be roaming patiently.

I think a lot has to do with equipment issues. They have our PCI's out of order, they even all got changed a few months ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
