T-Mobile DAS upgrades and AT&T under the seats antennas are interesting. Hopefully someone gets pictures and details of the under the seats antennas.

Anyone release reports yet?

I just went to rcrwireless and they have a small article on it

https://www.rcrwireless.com/20230214/carriers/verizon-and-att-super-bowl-lvii-fans-used-record-amount-of-data

VZW used 47.8TB, AT&T 21TB.

62,827 fans with 60% being VZW customers.

VZW had 1,400 under seat 4/5G nodes. 490 5G nodes. AT&T deployed 2,000 nodes inside the stadium.

At least for VZW, beings we know how many people were their customers, they had 19 people per node.

Additional math: VZW customers consumed on average 760 MB on Sunday, though my guess is that the number was actually lower because VZW probably had some non-fan macro traffic in there.

Wonder what the breakdown on customer count was between AT&T and T-Mobile. In order for AT&T to have used less data per person, T-Mobile market share would need to have been pretty small.

    • 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 coule potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area. 
    • Still not seeing any ULS postings for pending T-Mobile UScellular merger in Dane county Wisconsin.
    • 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.
    • Same with factory unlocked
