So I was wondering if anybody knows what really happened to US West cellular?

 

Do they still have anntenas up?

 

Did they have lte?

 

Cause looking at anntena search there are still allot of us west sites coming up.

I ask cause there is a site that has no major carriers on it. It has clearwire, and cricket. So the remaining anntenas have a single rru behind it. At&t is like 75 yards away from this site, verizon is a little farther, sprints is just a block down an tmo is a couple blocks away.

 

I did pull up some pictures from Google on what their anntenas would look like an it does match on what i saw.

 

So maybe my question is answered but I figured I would ask on here for more info.

 

I can get pics too.

It's a site that has numerous microwaves on it too.

Which US West Wireless? In the late 90's US West/AirTouch merged forming the basis for what is now Verizon. In the late 90's US West (later Qwest) launched again. By 2004 they sold off of their wireless spectrum and other assets (mostly to Verizon), becoming a Sprint MVNO.

Do they still have anntenas up?

No. They haven't had a network of their own in either incarnation for more than a decade. If it was company owned, it went most likely went to Verizon.

Did they have lte?

No.

I see. So then i wonder who's anntenas these are. I'll get some pics.

I'm not sure what resource you are using to search ownership. If it is something like antenna search, data there is notoriously outdated. It could be anyone's equipment on the sites at this point. Verizon is a safe bet on most of them.

Now seeing the gray cabinet for tmo. Not use to seeing that setup. Been seeing allot of their new setup. Thank you.

I hope sprint will do a relocate to this site. The site down the street on a office building is horrible.

And since this clearwire site doesn't broadcast band 41 only wimax it would be perfect for them too.

      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.

      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.
