Yea that Bucheit one is pretty strong. You'll get 4G almost to the base of the other one. The 94 and motherhead isn't 4G YET I've been staying on it.

Anyone In NoCo area?

Just drove past the Paul Avenue and S Florisant site behind Fergusson PD.  No LTE at all, even though it has been 4G accepted.  This is what they call a Red Stick, right?

Saw a line dangling down from the tower at Girl Scout and S Meridian in Glen Carbon as I zipped by.  Maybe they've started work?  I'll try to check it out if no one gets there before me...

Send me your LTE engineering screen next time you go by there and have 4G and I'll let you know.

Ahh

 

 

I work off Motherhead right near the in progress site on Jason Ct just past the skating place/rv storage.

 

I never got LTE there yet. I have on 94 further east in some spots but its weak.

False alarm.  Nothing going on there, except for maybe some old backhaul work.

heh, well the st louis is right at the beginning stages of lte roll out, if you can't wait the few months out, then do what you gotta do.

 

you could also switch back to your s2.

 

if you actually traded it in, you can check craigs list there are usually tons of wimax phones, then you can go back to wimax until lte is available where you need it.

 

 

Is that the plan, to have it widespread within a few months?

If no one else does I can check the mall after 4 PM. Meanwhile no sign of NSA operatives err... Sprint inspectors at the Motherhead site.

I don't think that blip could be from any other confirmed 4G site.

 

 

Yea and that site is hard to look at the base driving by it and has that huge fenced in area around it with the other tower.

I wouldn't doubt it if that's from the Ballwin site.  Some of the sites (e.g. North Lindbergh behind Aldi and Riverview) seem to have crazy range.  That, and the blip looks pretty weak.

That's a possibility as well.

I would say that there would be a majority of the St. Louis Metro covered within a few months. The permit for the site near the Rock Road and 170 was issued on 2/20/2013 and needs to be completed by August 20th.

    • T-Mobile has saved its 28Mhz mmWave licenses by using the point to point method to do environment monitoring inside its cabinets.

    • Yep, there is a label on the side of the box but it doesn't provide any useful info that the city doesn't already provide (Crown Castle Solutions is the franchisee). You can see my graphical interpretation of the city's dataset here.

    • Totally agree.  In my county and surrounding counties, TM did not place n-41 on every site.  When I look at the sites in question, I probably would have not placed it there either.  I can find just a few with n-71 only and in most of those cases if you live there and know the probable usage of the residents, you would not do a full upgrade on those sites.  One site in particular is set up to force feed n-71 through a long tunnel on the Turnpike.  No stopping allowed in the tunnel. No stores, movie theaters, bathrooms, so n41 would be a waste.    n25 is not really needed either, so it is not there.  The tunnel is going through & under a mountain with more black bears than people.  TM was smart.  Get good coverage in the tunnel but do not waste many many thousands of dollars with extra unused spectrum. I also see sites with only n71 & n25.  Again this makes sense to me.  Depending on what county we are talking about, they moved much of their b25 from LTE to nr.  Some counties have more n25 than a neighboring county, but luckily, it is plenty everywhere.   When you are in a very rural area, n41 can run up the bills and then be barely used.  I am NOT finding sites that should have had n41 but TM failed to provide it.  They may have to come back later in a few years and upgrade the site to n41.  However, we just may eventually see the last little piece on Band 25 leave LTE and move to n25. I am not sure if the satellite to phone service is using band 25 G block as LTE or nr. We also can possibly have at least some AWS move from LTE to nr at some point.  Yes, everybody wants n41. it is not justified in some cases.  When I travel, I desire some decent service along the entire route but it does not have to be 1 or 2 gig download.   If I can get 50/5 on a speedtest with data that will flow and not stutter, I am very happy. Yes, they will swap out the USC gear.  TM needs to match their existing network. The USCC equipment did the job for years, but it is time to retire it.
