Party time!!!!     So interesting tidbit about this speedtest result-   Prior to Sprint converting this clearwire site to B41, Sprint basically had extremely marginal service in this area (voice

When I met her in the bar the night before, she looked to me like a 4G. But when I woke up next to her in the morning, she was definitely only a 3G.   AJ

Picked up B41 at Logan today... My first taste! 55 mbps down... My friend on T-Mobile can now officially suck it

I have 4g in Somerville MA. I'm in the Winter Hill area and I have 4G in my room, but outside my house I have no 4G. Drove around today in Medford near the Meadow Glen mall and looked at my phone and the 4G icon was on. The signal was real spotty and kept switching back to 3g. So I parked and tested it as soon as i got a 4G icon locked and it was 4mbps tops around the Medford/Malden line. Some tests failed half way. Not as good as the strength in my bedroom where I have a router 6 feet away from me. I would much rather having it outside where I cant use a router. I don't even know where the tower that I am connecting to is. Anybody know how to find out? Had to toggle CDMA and CDMA/LTE to get it to work in Medford. screenshot2012080521334.png

Getting 2mb down and 1mb up in southern tewksbury, I'm guessing my tower was upgraded, but S4GRU told me my area was TBD :). Hoping to see the 4G sign at the end of the month!

 

By the way, whats the name of the app that gives you information on thw tower your connected to?

 

Netmonitor. and to a lesser extent, OpenSignal.

Neither work on Sprint LTE. They will show the site that the 1x is connected to. Not LTE, unfortunately.

I was not able to keep a connection, but I connected to two LTE towers this weekend near Tyngsboro, MA, BSID 666 and BSID 329

 

And, my 4G light flashed on this morning when I connected briefly to BS54XC906 (BSID 608) in Boston, MA. I will walk over to this tower at lunch and see if I can maintain a connection

So I was passing BS43XC861 ( Fair Grounds) in Brockton an saw the below. The guy said he was there for metro and Sprint. This I pass every day but I'm really curious about the BS23XC445 site for upgrades (any info anyone???), also does anyone see any new panels (1900/800) on this tower ?

Assuming he is talking about the one at Quincy Market. Look a few pages back.

 

I am not sure if it is the Quincy Market tower (BS57XC005), or the Broad Street tower (BS54XC906). Either way, I am sitting at the corner of State St. and Congress St., and my 4G icon has lit up several times today. It doesn't last very long and I have only been able to generate one speed test (see below). I'll try and stroll over the Quincy Market later and I'll see if it sticks while I am over there.

Cool! Thanks for the update.

 

Glad we are getting closer.

I got live 4G LTE tonight in Tewksbury around 7pm!! I was on Route 38 and likely hitting the tower at the Wynn School on Griffin Way, which I know has been worked on. Signal was strong and LTE held steady until I left the area. Speeds were very good.. screenshots attached. Even if its only temporary (?), still a great sign!

I haven't gotten any LTE signals since around 11pm that night.. was probably only up temporarily for testing.

 

Okay good. Was about to drive down there to test it out. Thanks for saving me some time, the tower on south street by Walgreens has been upgraded, so hopefully thats a 4g tower

Do we know if these are new sites being tested in the Boston market, or sites already complete coming online.

 

Thanks

I don't expect any live LTE signals to stay permanently until market launch.

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      By RedSpark · Posted

      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.

      FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
