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

[doomstang]

So I came across this permit:

 

https://aca.stlouisco.com/CitizenAccess/Cap/CapDetail.aspx?Module=PublicWorks&TabName=PublicWorks&capID1=12BLD&capID2=00000&capID3=00691&agencyCode=SLC&IsToShowInspection=

 

Project Description:   ADD (1) ANTENNA ON AN EXISTING TOWER FOR SPRINT

 

Looking at a map of the location: https://www.google.com/maps/preview#!q=700+Rudder+Rd%2C+Fenton%2C+MO+63026&data=!1m4!1m3!1d2617!2d-90.4530743!3d38.538849!2m1!1e3!4m11!1m10!4m8!1m3!1d24983!2d-90.4807209!3d38.490554!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!17b1&fid=7

 

I see a tower there but I don't believe that one even has Sprint equipment on it currently (based off other maps).  Any idea what's up with that?  Sounds like they are trying to fix a gap in coverage but I wasn't aware of any in that area...and also thought they weren't really adding new tower locations right now.

Wheres the tower?

Wheres the tower?

 

Looks like the southwest corner of the parking lot that the map link goes to (https://www.google.com/maps/preview#!q=700+Rudder+Rd%2C+Fenton%2C+MO+63026&data=!1m4!1m3!1d2617!2d-90.4530743!3d38.538849!2m1!1e3!4m11!1m10!4m8!1m3!1d24983!2d-90.4807209!3d38.490554!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!17b1&fid=7)

 

700 Rudder Rd, Fenton, MO 63026

I played around with Google's street view and I can see a short cell tower pole with some antennas on the top.  None of the pics are very good since you have to look over buildings to see it but there is a small tower there.  I'm gonna see if I can figure out who owns or uses that tower currently.

 

Edit:

Here's some tower info on it.

Appears to have Nextel and Clearwire equipment:

Thats what I was going to say Nextel because it is not a Sprint site. I remember seeing that permit but ignored it because it was from march 2012

Right. Bandwidth and spectrum is unlimited in St Louis. Sorry for the misunderstanding for the special market. I will let you guys continue your journey on the the small yellow motor coach.

Monkey not have his banana today? I was under the impression that Sprint provided unlimited data to anyone willing to pay for it. I guess that also means you can complain about someone else's usage they're paying for I'm sure everyone here understands there's not an unlimited amount of spectrum.

[dedub]

Bandwidth not used at any point in time, is just as wasted as doing pointless bandwidth checks.

 

If someone used 600 megs pointlessly, but no one else used or needed those particular 600 megs at those particular times, then it does not matter one iota.

Site near 141/44 behind McDonald's....up on the hill where Wet Willy's used to be.

 

Couldn't really see any of the equipment at the base but I snapped a couple pics of the top.  If anything looks new, I can always go back to investigate further.

Nothing new on that one....besides maybe some grafiti. Another thing....remember this is the public side...please edit the site ID out.

Woops I thought the sign on the gate had it listed but it says some other info instead.  I removed it from my other post, thanks.

Now that Nextel is....done...is anyone seeing 1x800?

Ha! The towers are still on, just the backbone is gone. Give it a couple days.

When they added the Cottleville accepted site to the sponsors map for some reason they removed the inprogress one I reported.

 

Fear not Cottleville will soon have 2 accepted sites and the purple plague in St Charles county will continue.

[jesmann]

So I'm fed up with the issues with the Evo 4G LTE what would be the best recommendation for the replacement?

I hardly even pay attention to the complete map anymore when it comes to in progress....our map will tell you more about it. I still post in progress sites in the in progress thread but anyways motherhead is listed as RRU up in the map.

I was going between those three or even the note 2. Looking for the best price usually Best Buy (at least Crestwood) will match online and Amazon has the One 99.99 upgrade

note 2 or htc one

[DaQue]

Note 2, the deathstar of cell phones.

wondering if that's meant as a good thing or bad thing... I feel confidence that the One was mentioned a few times considering the Evo has horrible signal issues
