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

[doomstang]

Deployment is probably a few months from getting started in the STL Metro Area. There will be some sporadic Missouri market work in other areas in the interim, like Joplin, Springfield and Branson.

 

So those two STL towers listed as 'In Progress' basically means they started a lil paperwork but don't intend to do anything for a few months?

I'm such an impatient person so things like this are tough for me to cope with...but hey, it's somethin to look forward to

Those sites were listed on a dispatch report, at this point I'm not sure we know exactly what that means.

They are doing backhaul and installing the cabinets. I talked to one of the guys doing work at the one off west fluorescent. I was there this last Saturday and more cabinets and some holes dug.

Does anyone have any info on what the US Cellular buy is going to do for LTE in St. Louis? Speed up the LTE setup, or delay it? What about coverage in general?

Probably won't affect Sprint's plan. USCC network will continue to operate in the foreseeable future. I forget the exact plans.

I'm pretty impatient, too, but I've gotta hold out until I buy the new iPhone with a LTE chipset. Thankfully, hardware has been a pretty good deterrent for my eagerness.

I'd expect a lot of the angst/impatience with stl lte is due to the fact that stl has had wimax since the evo4g, but has been behind on the lte roll out, when alot of people have already since upgraded (downgraded) from wimax to 3g while waiting for lte.

 

But at least we can start seeing actual progress now.

Ok ok I will stop posting from work where I have to deal with the over aggressive spell check on the phone and avoiding getting noticed by the boss.

Just kidding around, we know what you meant lol

[Fraydog]

There are a few areas where Sprint may need to add filler sites to keep coverage equal to USCC. There's a couple I can think of in Randolph County, out by the World Shooting Complex and one in downtown Sparta.

No Sensorly plots near there yet.

The site is there for highway coverage on the primary route between Pittsburg and Joplin. Plain and simple.

And here I thought it was a reward to old Farmer Magillicuddy for winning first place for his prized Steer at the Mizzurah State Fair and Gun Show.

Nah, you got it all wrong. This is Missourah. See that smoke shop 700 feet south of the site? It needs Internet access to process all of the EBT card transactions for the smokes, porn, fireworks, and walnut bowls it sells. That is why the site is there.
