Sa-weet! 800 is already making its first appearance in CO. Had my first voice call over 800 a few days ago at ORD. Didn't really think there was much difference with quality of the call, but I certainly did have better reception in what used to be marginal signal areas. 

How can you tell you were talking over 800?

Think I set a new speed record, for my devices anyway. This was at Yale and Monaco.

Any and all 31/32/33 39/3A/3B endings are Nokia Mini Macros on Macros typically found on former Clearwire sites. Each mini macro is a stand alone BTS so will have unique GCI identifiers.  For old

Well this site just got upgraded. This was a gmo with legacy panels. Sorry for posting here but my password for premier isn't working. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Signal Check Pro app. You can set it up to alert you when you connect to LTE or an 800 tower. 

Thanks, just purchased.

I think I'm as excited about the 800 SMR switchover as I am about LTE. I live in a big gap in voice coverage, even roaming coverage sucks. Hoping that 800 will snake it's way around the terrain a little better and give me a few bars of service at home.

I believe they get the service got free

kinda hard to read there buddy, but yes, they do get the service for free, they just have to pay full price for the phones.

Oh that's good news, our company is about to be bought by Sprint (clearwire)

 

I wonder what they do for the 3 other lines I have with them?

 

The people I know that work for Sprint get a 25% employee discount, but no free lines...   ?

It seems as though another tower has gone live. It is in Brighton off of Bridge St. & N 42nd Ave. :)

 

Yep. Shows up in the sponsors maps quite nicely.

That doesn't make sense, are they directly employed by Sprint?

So are employees supposed to get a free line and 25% off additional lines? What about wifi hotspots?

 

Nope, I've never heard of that 25% off additional lines. Are these corporate/retail employees?

Retail, I guess. Work in the Sprint stores in KC.

 

Nope, that's not the standard employee plan though. Perhaps they work for an authorized dealer?

Sensorly shows "4g" coverage in castle rock... is this true not wimax but 4g which I assume is LTE

Sensorly's map for Sprint 4G shows LTE only. They have a seperate map for WIMAX labled WIMAX.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
