This is a Sprint site on top of a two-story building. I presume it's fitted with NV equipment, but still hasn't been rated NV complete.

They are upgrading the entire network, not just cities. So they upgrade each site the moment it is ready. It is typically faster to have a rural site ready to upgrade than an urban site. Backhaul i

Your complaints are rather pathetic. To complain right in the middle of active deployment is ridiculous. The speed in which Sprint and Samsung have converted sites in Puerto Rico is unprecedented. E

Guys. Sprint is better than ever. No more drop calls for me from UPR to Toa Baja and vice versa. Very good LTE speed. UPR Río Piedras Campus have LTE everywhere and usable 3g if LTE isnt available. I'

I still see legacy panels. The lower panels attached to the building have RRU's, but are too small to be Sprint NV panels.

Interesting, I thought they were Sprint's panels. I'll guess the new panels should be placed beside the legacy ones. I pass this site daily on my commute to work, so i'll notice any difference. Thanks.

It seems to me that most of the panels that have been posted in PR are smaller than I would expect to see, unless all the pictures have been of the wrong panels. Those are very similar to many different images that are in this thread. I don't know if they are Sprint or not.

Don't know why, but after seeing eHRPD in my home and work I become addicted to toggle airplane mode on/off hoping to see a 4 instead of the 3 right next to the G.

you are not the only one! can not wait for LTE in mayaguez! at least the 3g here is faster now

is that info true? anybody can verify if verizon will take control of openmobile or its just a rumor........

 

This was a rumor. Open invested their own cash on their LTE network, they might use the same equipment as Verizon (either phones or antennae equipment) but that rumor is false. Verizon cant come to the island for a few more years, part of the agreement they had when they sold their assets to Claro.

I'm sorry to tell you this is not a rumor. Verizon paid for Opens LTE network. And they are requiring Open a handful of customers on postpaid plans before the do anything else here.

that's all it's capable of, there's no eHRPD, and obviously no LTE on Airaves

Trust me on this... Open paid for their network and went pretty deep into their pockets getting Ericcson to get them LTE and Prepa Net to get the fibers for it...

In Guaynabo after getting a week of perfect eHRPD, now data doesn't even works during the day. It constantly keeps switching between ehrpd, evdo rev a or 1x and it wont connect to the internet.

Hopefully they are still working.. Both sites appears as 3g/4g ready.

 

Funny thing is it stabilize after 2AM.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
