unscheduled demolition

The round table format ate hairy spiders when drunk. Its towers became bloated after swallowing a mouthful of baby formula. The baby ate his poisoned barbeque chicken ribs without A1 steak sauce. Fix the chair leg before somebody trips and breaks their sister's glass. It peed shards of LTE droppings from bubbly fermented apples. Doctors gouge the helpless when options appear dangerously silly for perpendicular slicing. Around 2pm there was another explosive diarrhea attack that drove Dan to SMS SoftBank, which viciously countered MetroPCS;s audacity to compete. Meanwhile, Mexicans discovered sparkly water of Rio which tasted like rainbows. LightSquared, however, beamed sparkly clusters of spectrum at GPS, causing multitudes of bananas being paranoid about world domination. This exacerbated an enormous flock of pelicans into your mother's house. Then seagulls confronted Darla with weapons manufactured in Korea that annihilated Kim Kardashian. She fell backwards after drinking highly intoxicating tequila shots. Uncoincidentally,

planned heist

I was able to get back to my site yesterday before the electricians left. They were much less nice the second day. They told me I could not come inside the gate and refused to talk with me. He said he didn't want to get in any trouble. I was disappointed. It's the first time in a long time I had someone at a site be less than friendly with me. So I stood outside the fence and took pictures. They installed the Ground Mount RRU's and base station cabinets. See photos below. In this photo, you can see the RRU's (2, one for each of the two sectors at this site) mounted to the legs of the cable tray that runs from the legacy base cabinets to the tower. There is also a junction box installed on the right side with a new conduit sweep to the new NV base cabinets. No wiring or power connected to the RRU's yet. Here is a zoom in on the RRU's installed yesterday. Here are the cabinets for the NV equipment. Compared to the day before, you can see they are now secured to the platform. There are now conduit sweeps in place and so are panels enclosing the base of the right cabinet.

I have a Nexus 4 on T-Mobile. I do like the HSPA+ speeds in the urban areas I go. But all the EDGE service outside of major metros is pretty sad. T-Mobile is only good for people who stay in the city, unfortunately. Where Sprint LTE is up and running, it is great. Thankfully coverage grows every single day. Robert

Done. Robert

You can only do this on Android device, AFAIK. Go to your phone dialer. Dial ##DEBUG#. Then enter 777468 for your lock code. Then go to LTE Engineering. In that screen you will see Serving Cell. That is the Cell ID of the sector you are connected to. If you can do this also from the south side of the Land O Lakes site, at least a half mile away, then you can compare the two cell ID's. If they are the same, then you were connected to the Land O Lakes site at the hospital. If it was different, then it may have been Site #TA80XC005 which was reported to me as In Progress this evening. That site is about 1 mile NW of the hospital. Or maybe even the Fletcher site. If you cannot make it to Land O Lakes to compare, perhaps one of our other members will offer to check the LTE Cell ID's for that site for you? Robert

It is possible to get LTE at the hospital on the 6th Floor from the Land O Lakes site if you were on the north side proximate to a window. It's about 8 air miles away and you would have LOS to that tower. But it may also be a site closer by that has come live as well. There is one sure fire way to tell. Check the LTE Engineering screen Cell ID in the hospital on the 6th floor and on the same sector closer to Land O Lakes tower. If they are the same...BINGO. You have a winner. Robert

Yeah. I had a member report it to me via PM. So I marked the site he thought it was In Progress last night. I love going to the Villages. It's like a communal nursing home with Golf Cart roads. It's so trippy. Robert

It's not an LTE feature. It is a device feature. Currently, all the Sprint LTE devices released to date support simultaneous voice and LTE, except the iPhone 5. When VoLTE becomes a reality and voice is carried over LTE, it still will be dependent on the device whether simultaneous voice and LTE data will be supported. Robert

I used GoGo on Alaska Airlines quite a bit in 2009 in my old job. It worked better than Row 44 did on Southwest. I used to fly every week as a Hotel Developer. Since I have taken this job in New Mexico a few years ago, I fly only once per year. Robert

I would have not thought it was an NV panel, had it not been for the panels on the other sectors. Good find! Robert

We have a few shorter/fatter Verizon LTE panels around here. Very unusual looking. I don't think I've noticed any NV panels like that yet. Robert
