Looks like a site that i know of only running clear band 41 may be getting converted. Lots of stripping and replacing panels. Is the start of clear sites being converted starting already?????

Is it a Sprint only tower?

 

Two towers, one I park next and one I drive past I have seen work done on lately.  One tower they just installed new mounts to support additional future B41 antenna. That was a big let down when they didn't put up the new antennas.

 

The other tower turned out they were working on the rack below Sprints.  It is tight spaced tower, so the rack they were standing on they could comfortably access Sprints rack.  Was hard to tell what they were doing, now they are go, no changes. :/  Spent three days there too.  I don't see new equipment so maybe something was broken.

Heres a pic

Looks like they're working on sprints rack. Looks like a ALU pcs RRU attached to the lattice structure.

Just realized the plmn id is still Clear......not the normal 310 120 for sprint spark Carrier aggregation

 

As I said they're working on ALU stuff.

 

The Clear B41 radios is Samsung so they've decomissioned WiMax in your area early for a 2nd B41 carrier which is done by software remotely.

I wonder if any of this is going on in Minnesota. The cell site at my work has been clearwire. Now the last few days I havent been able to get any Sprint Spark from that site. Even outside.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Spent a lot of time in Westchester this weekend, specifically Yonkers and White Plains. I mapped three AT&T Nokia -> Ericsson conversions. I was super impressed with T-Mobile's macro density and not so much with AT&T's. In Yonkers it seems like T-Mobile macros outnumber AT&T macros 3 to 1 and in White Plains, 2 to 1. Another surprise was the lack of small cells on AT&T in both cities. While Cellmapper shows White Plains having no small cells, I did manage to find one in the Church Street neighborhood. While it's only one, it's an indication to me that T-Mobile intends on expanding n41 density with small cells in the city. On the other hand, in Yonkers T-Mobile has a ton of LTE small cells but none of them have been upgraded to 5G yet as far as I can tell. Crown Castle has been moving super fast in NYC and Long Island to upgrade and install new 5G small cells so I can only assume it's either a permitting or backhaul issue that's stopping them from moving full steam ahead there. — — — — — Came across this cool site in Yonkers with Verizon, T-Mobile, and Dish present.

      Other two sectors finally installed. Hopefully it goes live soon though I know from past experience that these new builds can take weeks and in some cases months to go live.

      Which is not surprising given that Verizon’s entire 5G network consists of only C-band and mmWave in most of their coverage area. I’m more surprised that despite having a 5G network that’s almost entirely made up of only two super fast and super high capacity bands, both T-Mobile and AT&T showed higher average speeds on 5G according to OpenSignal. I would’ve expected Verizon to be a close second to T-Mobile but it was a blowout.
