May be tough to see in the picture but there's lines dangling and a guy up in the tower.

Got another hit of Band 41(TD-LTE) this morning on I-255.

Might be buying a tri-band phone in the spring if your picking up all this TD

They should be done converting all clear sites by then

I think Clearwire is more motivated than Sprint. Even though we are getting some decent LTE off of the NV sites.

I think the only thing they need to do is swap out the RRUs so it is a LOT easier.

Oh so Clear already has all their backhaul done??

Just to temper your expectations a little bit… From what I understand, the hotspots have better radios than phones do. All they do is data...

I believe clear will be using the same backhaul they used for WiMax. IIRC, they already have fiber run to all their sites.

Anyone know where this tower is located? I'm mobile today and can't get to the spreadsheet:

Ok. The Physical Cell is the one from Page and Diehlman

In HEX that is 0562A403. I couldn't find that on the spreadsheet. Granted I'm using my phone I could be missing it. Where are you?

 

Sorry posted late.

[stlman314]

I know we already have hex for Olive & Ladue in Chesterfield but here's one of the 3-digit numbers as well.

I was able to pick up 249 for one of the 3 digit SCIDs. I do have some concerns about this tower though. My co-worker and myself were connected to this sector and could not get do a speed test or get any data at all. We were at I-64 and 141 right at the Maryville University campus. He has to go to strictly CDMA just to get data. How does a person complain to Sprint that they have no data if LTE is not officially launched but there phone is connecting and they have no data.

Yea I took to long to type and after I hit post the other feeds loaded. I was slow

Sooo I just missed out on a good opportunity.  I was stuck helping a coworker with a VPN issue so I let the ringing phone go to voicemail.  It turns out there was a guy stuck on our roof (270/olive) who was working on "cell tower equipment" (theres only sprint up there!) and he got locked up there because someone shut the door.  By the time I called back on it, he already had someone else letting him out.  I was soooo close to getting to go up there and see the equip and talk to the guy

So, guys every phase 1 TD-LTE site that I have checked so far has band 41 LTE!

[lilg740]

Also, I am now connected to Band 25 LTE inside my house only on the hotspot though.

[lilg740]

NV Panels going up in Pontoon just a few days after Clear LTE panels went up!

There's a LOT out there. Almost every flagpole site I've encountered is broadcasting Band 41. Going to make quite a few people happy when they get those Triband phones. I'd still like more movement on the 800mhz side of the spectrum, though. I need me some building penetration.

[doomstang]

Low light digital zoom from a camera phone makes it tough to see but here's 141/Bowles.

 

 

There's also been a silver cabinet that I think it's Clearwire's that has been beeping with a red light on it flashing for the second night in a row.

I just don't remember getting wimax out of that site back when I had the Evo 3D
