Destroyallcubes Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 So here in Tyler, East Texas, ATT has started expanding to new sites, 3 so far brand new monopoles. It seems these newer sites are being installed with WCS ready equipment. Anyone else seeing sites like these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've even seen some where they went back swapped out a panel or two for newer panels and added more RRU's.

Obviously ATT but looks like Ericsson is a huge vendor for the south area for ATT and Sprint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Well here no AWS spectrum for ATT unless they got some from Aloha wireless. They have WCS now from Sprint, 700,850, and 1900.

Cubbiefan82 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 They have block c on wcs according to http://specmap.sequence-omega.net/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destroyallcubes Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 They have block c on wcs according to http://specmap.sequence-omega.net/ATT just bought out Sprints holdings of WCS, so they should have enough ,iirc, for nationwide 10x10, would have 15x15, but guard bands are in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a site being worked on in Tulsa, brand new panels were added with similar antennas and colored wiring. I wasn't sure what was going on, (still not but this may be a clue).

I wasn't sure what was going on, (still not but this may be a clue).Yep at least 3 if these sites in a period of 1-2 months, from nothing to monopole with equipment. I find these 3 sites be bad zones for all wireless carriers, so they could be seeing new Tennant's on these empty spaces soon enough. Hopefully Nokia and Ericsson will have some Sprint sites on these bad boys soon enough. But yeah they had some red wiring near the panels. I need to get a better camera to get closer pics. Might borrow one to see if I can make out any frequencies on the panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destroyallcubes Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Weird on the outside panels , center pic, there are no Jumper cables running to them. Hmm maybe those aren't in use yet, could be the WCS equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigsnake49 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I thought Sprint's WCS holdings were on bands A and B, the 2 5x5 paired blocks. C and D are the unpaired blocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
