Network Vision/LTE - Missouri Market (includes St. Louis)

Sensorly has updated their maps a little bit more. You can now see the Hazelwood lte blips from zoomed far out or zoomed way in....just not in between yet.

It also looks like the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr./Goodfellow Blvd/Kienlen Ave points are a bit better defined.

 

Someone needs to drive down those side streets and log points -- I'm interested to see the coverage.

Business is about to pick up in the USCC transaction.

Unfortunately, it sounds as if May 17 is the last day of work for USCC retail employees. It is weird, though, seeing a bunch of USCC advertising during Cardinals games when it's going to be a stone cold lock USCC customers will need new devices on Sprint.

The Dellwood Rec Center site appears to be up and running. I drove by there this morning on my way to work and grabbed some Sensorly data. You have to zoom in quite a bit to see the points on the Sensorly map. I only grabbed points up W. Florissant and some going west on 270. At one point I was getting 31 Mbps down and 11 Mbps up.

Maybe the other 2 on that dispatch report a long time ago will fire up LTE soon too.

 

I think we are still waiting for someone to actually go down to the other site in Clayton...the one on top of that 10 story "200" building. Maybe its on....

It's not often that I really wish for more than an 8mp camera on my phone, but this is one of those times. I live in Washington, MO and we don't have many towers that carry Sprint service. I drove by the one closest to my work yesterday and shot this picture. Now I know that they haven't turned anything on and I don't think anything has even started. I couldn't see from the street that there were any boxes our signs of digging. I'll probably get up close and peek in a couple days.

 

I guess this pic can at least serve as a reference for later so I can see if there are changes... It's taken from southwest of the tower.

I'll go by there tonight after work and see if I pick anything up. I do know that I can't get an LTE signal from 170 when passing that location. There are a lot of relatively taller buildings in Clayton, so I guess it's possible the signal is reflected and/or dispersed too much before it can reach 170, or there is more down tilt than other locations.

Wait, 15 miles down the Interstate from St. Charles to Clayton is now considered a "road trip"? What is your vehicle, a unicycle?

 

:P

I honestly did know hiw far that site is from home. I can't load the map well at work and I just remembered it was on a tall building and was thinking closer to downtown.

 

With the bridge being worked on on 70 I do avoid crossing the river there.

    • 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.
