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

Recommended Posts

This is the most detailed review I found for the Nexus 5. if anyone here has this phone, do you agree with the review? 

 

Can't say that I read the whole the review, but having the N5 for nearly a month now, I haven't been able to go back to my HTC One (and that's a pretty damn nice phone). Partly because I get AMAZING LTE coverage now, considering how little coverage there actually is, and partly because I've found I do like the pure Android experience.

I posted about some LTE troubles in the eCSFB thread, but I'm going to give some more details. I am located in O'Fallon IL, where we are supposed to have LTE coverage as of this month. Some spots of the city have coverage, but the tower down the road from me doesn't seem to be broadcasting LTE. The tower in question is near the intersection of Seven Hills Road and East State St.

That one has not been 4G accepted. The closest one that is 4G accepted is just north of the Splash Pad, one in Shiloh and a few in Fairview. Sprints network maps show expected coverage at 100% 4G accepted. Right now Missouri Market is just shy of 60% 4G Complete. St. Clair County istelf is just shy of 80% 4G Complete. We have no notification of either of the other towers in O'fallon itself being worked on at this point. If you want, you can go to the site and take pictures of the equipment on the racks and at the base and we can tell you if it is the Sprint Network Vision equipment.

Awesome thanks for the info. I'll probably go check out the site once I'm back in town after the holidays.

Anytime. I hate that Sprint did that. It is going to cause a lot of confusion.

The accepted site on Campus near 70/Zumbel had the LTE off yesterday, it happens. It should be back soon hopefully with the issue it had with the LTE signal being very weak just a block off 70 on Zumbel fixed.

odd the Motherhead site went offline for 5-10 minutes and when it came back the 1x is 6-10 dB stronger but no change in LTE strength.

    • T-Mobile has saved its 28Mhz mmWave licenses by using the point to point method to do environment monitoring inside its cabinets. The attachment below shows the antennas used: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/ApplicationSearch/applAdmin.jsp;JSESSIONID_APPSEARCH=LxvbnJuvusmIklPhKy6gVK7f9uwylrZ8LiNf3BqIKlDp3_5GxoBr!300973589!225089709?applID=14787154#   Here are the sites for Franklin county OH: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/attachments/attachmentViewRD.jsp?applType=search&fileKey=66518254&attachmentKey=21989782&attachmentInd=applAttach
    • 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.
