HELP NEEDED! network.sprint.com has added some new sites, please cull your area and submit to this thread!


Recommended Posts

ATTENTION S4GRU Members!

 

Thanks to S4GRU Member BenChase7, we now know there are additional sites that Sprint has recently decided to add and they have been added to the network.sprint.com website. I am requesting that all of you cull the Sprint maps in your area and post any new "towers" below in this thread. Please include either a city and nearest crossroads, or ideally, GPS coords. A screenshot could be nice too, but not required.

 

I am going to take these new sites and add them to our maps. I can't go through the whole country, but we now have enough members that all of you could dig up the dirt easily on your area!

 

Thanks for your help!

 

Robert

Ha! my first true contribution. Glad I could help. Thanks for the shout-out! :)

 

I'm just glad to see that Network Vision does include network expansion of this kind. I was not aware of this until today.

It was news to me too. Hey, maybe you can go check out this site? It looks like it is built into the light standard to a High School football field. Maybe you can take some pics? I wonder if these new sites will be built to Network Vision standards? Doesn't make sense to build a new site, then go right back in 6 months and NV it!

Thats a good point. All of these towers are pretty far from me, but I should be able to make that happen over the next week.

Was there a specific site, or just any of the 3 new ones I found??

It could be any site. However, the one at Cesar Chavez High School really is intriguing to me. It's also on public property and will be easier to access, most likely.

Humm, that new tower that hypeo posted in SD is going to be immediately followed by a data speed upgrade, fwiw

 

I noticed that. I wonder if it's in reference to enhanced backhaul making it to the site? Interesting.

Yes. But there is one near KIWA that Ben posted about that I haven't found yet.

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.

 

Here are the three I found in PHX

 

The one near KIWA is just SW of the airfield. Or, just SE of the Pecos rd and Power rd intersection in the east valley.

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). The do have a reserve level. It is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  They did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, RVs in Walmart parking lots where mobile needs all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71. 93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline in June for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio iirc. No reported sightings.
    • T-Mobile Delivers Industry-Leading Customer, Service Revenue and Profitability Growth in Q1 2024, and Raises 2024 Guidance https://www.t-mobile.com/news/business/t-mobile-q1-2024-earnings — — — — — I find it funny that when they talk about their spectrum layers they're saying n71, n25, and n41. They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.
