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

^What he said. Those 2 will at least help with congestion in that area.

Yea thats one of the most heavily congested-with-warm-body areas in STL during the day. Not even going into all the cell traffic.

They even work in the snow!(Friday & Saturday)!

I've pulled speedy band 41 at the zoo on my MiFi. It's gonna be great for tri-banders.

Unfortunately, all the sites covering the Central West End have been upgraded. There are still a couple more to go in Midtown, so that will help.

 

It's going to take 800MHz LTE and 250MHz LTE to relieve some of that congestion.

 

Sprint is not likely to start using any additional PCS spectrum for LTE any time soon.

Ah. That's too bad. I was afraid that would be the case. Hopefully some eCSFB on B41 lights up soon.

I just pulled an insane 32Mbps down, 7.5Mbps up at the large Amoco sign on Clayton & Skinker. That St. Mary's rooftop site is legit.

The way I see it is that area should never have any congestion for the amount of towers in that area that are already on LTE. I have pick up two B41 towers in that area from Big Bend to Skinker on Clayton.

There is a B41 tower on top of a building across from the golf course entrance at Forest Park on Skinker. I've picked that one up on the MiFi in the middle of the Zoo.

 

It makes sense to blanket that area - rich kid college campus.

I've gotten that one before at Imo's.

Just so everyone knows, Sprint coverage maps now show St. Louis and other areas as 4G LTE.

Wonder if that means they are about to officially launch?

I don't think so. The said they wouldn't announce an area until the fall back issue was fixed there.

Yes, it means they are launching.

One or two sites does not qualify as a fall back issue area. What they are talking about was areas like Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Detroit - where the entire city suffered from the eCSFB issue. Mainly Samsung markets.

 

You overestimate the importance of 1 or 2 sites in the overall picture.

[DaQue]

Not disagreeing with you but it's only a few because only a few have both CDMA and LTE

live on the same site. I'm still hoping most will be both and 800 too soon. Sounds like they may have fixed it anyway if Lilg740 can connect now to one of them so I switching my answer to yup its going to launch soon.

Ericsson doesn't need to have 3G and 4G upgrades on a site for eCSFB to work. It can be installed on the legacy equipment. Only a few isolated sites are having the issue. Missouri is not a problem market. Re-read Robert's article.

 

This is why it's mainly a Samsung problem.

Glad to see it's launching so you guys can call in tickets but with every metro area I've watched, the slow down starts right after as the focus seems to go to other areas to prepare for launch.

Things have already slowed down a bit. They've gotten to almost all of the actual tower locations, now it's down to doing the roof mounted and stealth sites, which I'd imagine is going to take longer.

What is/ was wrong with the Motherhead site?

[Dkoellerwx]

Tri-band devices couldn't connect. It was experiencing the eCSFB issue.

arnold has had problems with ecsfb also.

 

it is really annoying actually, since it causes the drop to 3g near the beginning/end of my commute and if it weren't for arnold it would be consistent LTE all the way.
