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

AT&T is currently running fiber to the flagpole site on Pavilion Dr & Old Olive St. road.

 

At least, the flags are down and a crew is digging a few hundred feet away (Across from Kohn's Deli).

Crews up at a known clearwire site by my house. I'll swing by and investigate after lunch.

Updated RRUs for Clearwire, installed new equipment.

 

Here are the photos I just took of the fresh equipment install:

The crew had just come down from Michigan, and had Pennsylvania plates on their trailer & trucks. The foreman I spoke with said that they were upgrading a lot of stuff for Clearwire, but didn't have much else by way of information to give.

 

This site is located at Big Bend Blvd. and Dale Ave. in Richmond Heights, right behind city hall. Here's a Goole Streetview of the tower behind the Hall:

And, since this is within an easy walk of my house, I really hope it's one of those nifty new 2500 sites. :)

Resistance is futile. They will be assimilated. 

 

Actually I was thinking you might because they are going up on Sprint NV sites now too, not just Clearwire sites. It may be Sprint who signs off on them.

I have seen men putting these up for the last 2 days at 44/jamieson. I didnt know what it was at first, so its convenient that someone else has seen them. That site has NV panels up for weeks but no 4g

Hm. That's also kind of close to me.

 

Is the site listed as a tower on the Clearwire coverage map? It'd be awesome if this was the 2500/2600mhz rollout happening. Lots of activity the past few days in the STL area.

That's a Samsung TD-LTE RRU & BRS/EBS Antenna Panel.

 

Thanks for the confirmation (and in the other thread, too).

 

I'll still try to get better pics with the better zoom lens (this was shot with a 250mm - I'll have my 300mm tomorrow).

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
