Maybe they are starting to deploy some hot 800 action in the OC?   :fingers:

 

Haha I doubt it.  A few of the sites around here have the dual RRH's and some don't.  Not sure why that is and capacity does not appear to be a factor since some of the sites with only one RRH are located along busy freeways and some of the ones that have two RRH's like this one do not get a lot of traffic.

 

It looks like they kept the same azimuth's on this site (thankfully) but unfortunately the panels appear to be mounted slightly lower (by 1-2 feet) now than they were originally, even with the taller NV panels taken into consideration.  Hopefully this does not affect coverage as this site really needed higher mounting not lower due to the hilly terrain as evident by AT&T taking the top spot on the tower.  The site is not NV active yet but I can only hope that the RRH's will boost signal strength slightly to make up this difference but so far I have not been able to see any gains in signal strength with NV on any other sites.

Update.  Looks like they installed a small microwave dish on the South facing RRU yesterday.  So my site will get LTE 1900 using microwave relay which is what I expected considering that the AT&T site on the same tower also uses a microwave relay.  Hard to get Ethernet feed up in the hills.

Some time over night LTE finally came on my tower!  So far every time I do a speedtest check I get a completely different result.  Have had between 5 Mbps and 20 Mbps depending on where I am in the house.  Ping is between 59 and 69 ms consistently.  My home wifi is only good for between 3-4 Mbps and EVDO was 1.5 Mbps so the LTE would seem to be the better option no matter what assuming this holds up.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.

      T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

      By Dkoellerwx · Posted

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
