ps3ia Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I just checked about a week ago but they have added almost 30 planned upgrades after just checking o_0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenChase7 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Interesting.. Something else I think that was added in my area (or at least I didnt notice it last time I checked) is the addition of new towers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrmcgarvey Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 About 20 upgrades have been added to the site for my area. But I have had 10-14 showing up as coming for months. All the ones under "previous 6 months" have about rolled off. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypeo Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Yuma AZ added another 8 upgrades in the past 2 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryry4ya Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 Well I am glad I am not the only checking, remember to write down your upgrade totals and share when they change. Maybe as a group (in differ areas) we can check total process in the NV situition as opposed to there press releases !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep in mind that these upgrades are not directly related to Network Vision... they are just minor upgrades to help tie us over until official Network Vision upgrades arrive, "band-aid fixes," if you will. The true NV upgrades are what will make the big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4GHoward Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Are band-aid fixes done by the local engineer that does not travel out of a market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Are band-aid fixes done by the local engineer that does not travel out of a market? AFAIK, they are handled by Ericsson and their Sprint nationwide network management contract.

S4GRU Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I'm curious about the new towers in my area. I didnt think they were adding any towers. Change in plans? I will look into these site adds when I get back in front of my computer. Robert via NOVO7PALADIN Tablet using Forum Runner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't locate anything on the Sprint Network maps marked new. I started in Glendale and started working out in concentric circles. Clicked on every one. Where are you getting new sites? I couldn't find any new sites in the Sprint coverage tool. I'm lost. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themuffinman Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I have been using this site for several months now and I have seen updates for all these cell towers but don't really see that much of a difference in most areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert I saw the new towers at network.sprint.com One of them is in South PHX on Baseline rd between 35th and 43rd ave @ Cezar Chavez Park. There are others, too. EDIT: Another just South of Van Buren rd between 67th and 59th ave. EDIT: Another at KIWA, just southwest of the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are sites Sprint has decided to add since October 1st, because they are not in my database. Sprint is adding ~340 sites in Network Vision. So there are sites being added. Just not many. However, these new ones are in addition to the 300+ already to be added. I am going to start a thread asking people to review network.sprint.com in their area and submit any new sites they find so we can get them added to our database!

So this is great news for me! Happy Easter! And, I gave ya 3, not 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contreramanjaro Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Neat, I haven't checked that site in a bit. They're finally doing work on the towers that cover campus. Excellent. You may as well ignore any 3G signal you have there ATM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
