Just came home for the holidays. Noticed a significant improvement in coverage. My house has an airave because we used to have 1 bar of 3g... But now I am full bars LTE at home on b25.   Guess we do

People that are that shortsighted should go to another carrier. You sure are using a very limited scope to explain AT&T has 15Mbps WCDMA speeds. I use AT&T, so I know what to expect. Since

Wow here's another one and it actually shows LTE in Harrisburg on this map, www.sensorly.com/fullscreen/map/4G/US/USA/Sprint/lte_310sprint

 

That's me. I lit it up on Front Street and Paxton St and 2nd yesterday around 4p.

I did a decent job of getting Sensorly loaded today (www.sensorly.com/fullscreen/map/4G/US/USA/Sprint/lte_310sprint), the run from 7th Street and down Walnut as well as the spot on Market were from me leaving town today. I also got a speed test done (158ms ping, 12498kbps down, 8568kbps up). So, I'm pretty happy.

Yes, of course. They have a no cell phone policy so I can't report how good the LTE was indoors.

Workers are on site at the water tower south side of 30 near galleria mall in York. Man lift was at the lowest tier of panels. Couldn't tell what they were doing, but I'm hopeful!

Update, yup, it's definitely sprint nv. Radios are in place behind the panels. Actually passed a truck with sprint logos on 30 while staring at the panels. Happy to see them in town!

The other day I saw a Ford Escape with a Sprint logo on the doors. Was the first time I've ever seen such a thing!

You were driving down route 30 while staring at a water tower? That's not very safe... but whatever, network vision is underway in York, PA!!!! I can't wait! Shouldn't take long either because York isn't very large so there are probably only a couple dozen towers in the entire city.

You don't want to know what I do while driving, then. Riding in the passenger seat with a wireless nerd driving can be a scary proposition.

That was probably one of the Shentel tower technicians. They are located in the Newberry Commons in Etters.. since I drive 83 from York to Harrisburg every day I see them quite often.

 

Excited to hear they are working in York!!

Shentel's NV deployment is already underway. They don't have quite as aggressive a plan for the rollout, and we do not have much information on this site, but they are upgrading their network.

 

Let us know if you see anything in your area.

 

I was going to my friends house in Stephens City and look at my phone and I have 4G!!!!!!

 

Download was 25mbps and upload was 7.1mbps

Network says LTE and Server says Washington, DC (BETA)

 

Nothing in Winchester tho :(

You should run Sensorly in that area show it shows up on their coverage maps. I regularly run up and down 81 and I've yet to see anything, though it's been about a month.

Can you install Sensorly? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sensorly.viewer

 

Sensorly will show us exactly where in Stephens City you're getting coverage, and it will show up here on http://sensorly.com/map/4G/US/USA/Sprint/lte_310sprint

I did some mapping on 83 this weekend.. I can hold coverage from the 83/581 split until I get to the 83/322 split.. won't hold until Union Deposit exit. Still we are showing a decent amount of LTE coverage on Sensorly for a market with no official launch timeframe.

Getting better every day! I see someone got a connection near the intersection of 81 and 114 while another had a connection at 581/15. Still not seeing any LTE in York yet which is disappointing. Had to use some good old WiMax this weekend in York just to have any internet connection in York city.

I added the chunk on 581/15 going to the Capital City mall Saturday night. Also, had 4G on Front St/Market St. bridge in Harrisburg.

      Are you sure that's Direct to Cell? That sounds like the 911 center was offline and they got brought back online via a Starlink uplink. Which also makes way more sense than Direct to Cell for that area.

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.
