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.

    • I was just in Greenwich, CT doing some shopping and naturally also doing some recording of cell sites in the background on Cellmapper. Specifically I was along Greenwich Ave which is the most dense part of the city. Verizon: Literally didn't work most of the time. Even though their coverage shows the entire city blanketed in 5GUW you'll only be on their nationwide 5G network or LTE if you're anywhere south of Lewis St. Regular 5G (non C-band) didn't work at all. I don't mean it was slow, I mean it didn't pass any data at all. When I opened Instagram it told me "No connection". In a store I was in I even overheard someone asking another shopper if they had service in the store. I immediately knew they were on Verizon. Switching to LTE gave me data although it was slow. In most stores I'd get speeds in the low teens, outside it'd go up to 40Mbps. Above Lewis St. my phone finally connected to n77. On n77 I was seeing ~180Mbps. It seems like the issue isn't backhaul, it's just that Verizon doesn't have any remaining capacity on the LTE side.   AT&T: AT&T was slow but didn't suffer from the same "No data connection" issue that Verizon did. Speeds were in the low teens most of the time and peaked around 50Mbps. My phone hopped between AT&T's nationwide 5G and LTE frequently much like Verizon. Also just like Verizon, north of Lewis St. I suddenly connected to 5G+ which gave me speeds just over 100Mbps. AT&T also at least one small cell along Greenwich Ave for additional capacity and coverage and it's doing wonders for their network in the area. I'd go as far as saying it's probably the only reason they're not in the same situation as Verizon.   T-Mobile: Not to sound like an ad for the company but I was really blown away by T-Mobile's performance here. T-Mobile is collocated on the same towers as Verizon and AT&T in the region but they have an extra site in the steeple a church along Greenwich Ave that they've upgraded with n41. As a result, T-Mobile not only has the strongest signal indoors and outdoors, they also have the fastest speeds by a long shot. Nowhere along the commercial strip did I drop below 500Mbps. Indoors I was seeing over 300Mbps and outdoors I peaked at over 600Mbps. For the sake of testing I switched my phone to LTE and saw speeds of 180Mbps indoors.  
    • This site, along with T-Mobile eNB 307360, don't have B41 live, but do have n41 live. Seems like the latest T-Mobile convert sites don't broadcast B41 at all.
    • Sprint eNB 9493/5784 -> T-Mobile eNB 216213 Located at: 40.61611028489374, -74.01141959254353 Sprint eNB 6786 is converted but not live Located at: 40.647096399275, -73.97984672978991
