Network Vision/LTE - New Orleans Market

I was checking the sprint.com/network website and it looks like a lot of the tower that have been upgraded to NV show Data Speed Upgrades. Has anyone seen towers that have this upgrade that ha not been upgraded to NV?

 

This is true most of the time. In my estimation, about 90% of upgraded sites show a data speed upgrade. However, not all sites with a data speed upgrade have NV equipment on them. If they did any kind of backhaul upgrade, whether temporary additional T1 lines or actual permanent NV backhaul, it shows data speed upgrades.

The three towers in my area I found with panels and RRUs up are not even on that site so they have no upgrades listed.

Had the wife drive me to the site I found yesterday so I could snag pics. She's good at finding a good spot to park so I can snag a pic from my window. We also went to two others but nothing yet. Marking those as still delayed on my list.

 

Heading to the Essen site now...

 

Will post pics later. Verified the LTE is not on since both of our phones would not pick it up.

A woman who is both beautiful and willing to drive you all around to look at sites. What a catch! Take her to lunch at her favorite place. Now!

 

Man, I'm hungry... :)

Found another site with panels and RRUs up! My driver couldn't stop due to time constraints. Rolled the window down and snagged one at 35 as I was zooming in. You can definitely see the multiple RRUs. It's at Florida and Sherwood.

 

Greenwell Springs and Flannery is a negative. Went by the North Denham Springs tower last week and it was a negative as well.

There was a trade.. I had to go shopping at the mall with her. But I need some jeans anyways.

Have you been by the sites down burbank? Was curious about the one near Lee I believe.

Not sure about the one on Lee by Mike Anderson's, but no activity on the Burbank site by Lakeside Daiquiris. Also, I'm not sure about the site on Burbank in the big curve before you get to Highland. I'm rarely driving by that in the daytime.

Have either of you looked at the tower behind the Bluebonnet post office? I work right near it but because of trees and buildings and the fact that it's on the PO property I can't tell what is on it. I believe Sprint is some where on it.

I glanced at it from far but I didn't see anything that stuck out. That one is really easy to see from what I remember. Check it out since you are so close. Looking at google maps you could right up close to that one by driving into that office building parking lot from Bluebonnet. Easy pic taking there.

Pic of the site at Plank and Thomas Rd. Those panels were so clean I had glare issues at some angles. Have some close-ups that I will post in a bit.

Your camera is awesome.

 

Thanks love the zoom on this camera. Had to shrink them and compress them otherwise they are 3 Meg a piece.

 

I will post some more within the hour.

 

Funny thing about this site I was going to park in the church parking lot but there were three deputies in the parking lot doing seat belt checks and radaring so I decided against that location. Didn't want to explain the whole thing to them. They would think I am crazy and lock me up.. Lol.

    • 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.
    • At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
    • Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
    • Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
