    Here are typical Verizon panels in New Mexico: The larger panel is LTE 750. The narrower panels are CDMA 850. They typically have LTE 750 on one side, and the two 850 on the other side. Sometimes they have them like this with LTE 750 in the center. In my observations, VZW CDMA 850 propagates quite a but further than LTE 750. VZE LTE 750 starts degrading rapidly at -90 RSSI and is unusable at -95 RSSI. You can kind of see the downtilt on the LTE 750 in the right hand sector is less severe to try to match coverage to the CDMA 850 as much as possible. However, the left hand sector they are the same because that sector faces a mountain. Robert

    In my area Verizon uses a LTE panel by itself. And has additional CDMA 850 panels beside them. Robert

    Check out this link: http://www.mywakulla.com/docs/PlanningCommunityDevelopment/TRC/11-15-12/SP12-16.pdf In the Electrical drawings (E sheets) it shows RRU's and power. These are ground mounted RRU's, but the principle is still the same. Robert

    Although the markers can be off a little, but it appears that it's near the baseball diamond at the SW side of the park. Robert

    I was just checking in the site database, and Sprint already has a site at that park on the south side. It is a stealth site, probably mounted to a light pole too. It went live on August 20, 2007. It will likely be converted right where it is. The new site you have found on the north side is likely AT&T. Robert

    Yes, but that is for legacy panels. This would be a brand new site with all NV gear. A brand new NV only site would all have panels the same height. Robert

    Also, AT&T sites typically have several different panel types/sizes. However, a new Sprint site would only have one panel type and size. However, it is uncommon at Sprint NV sites to have more than one panel, unless the sites needs more than eight EVDO/1x carriers. Robert

    I cannot say with 100% certainty. It may be. I've never seen an AT&T site with so many RRU's before. However, I never recall seeing a Sprint Alcatel Lucent NV site with panels with an indent along the sides running the length of the panel. That's new to me. Where exactly is this site? Robert

    There are two live sites in the Jacksonville market that no one has mapped yet in Sensorly. Robert

    We have maps in our Sponsor section of S4GRU that shows all the sites that are signed off as complete each week. For more info about becoming a S4GRU Sponsor, go to this link: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/1195-information-about-s4gru-sponsorship-levels-and-how-to-become-a-sponsor/ Robert

    Probably. Work is under way in the area. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

    Easier to install or maintain? No. But they are often a better fit for an indoor area where many locations are needed. Like an airport terminal in a place like O'Hare would need dozens throughout all the terminals and public spaces. Maybe even in behind the scenes employee areas too. To deploy dozens of small cells inside a terminal would not be as good as a DAS in this instance. DAS would have a couple of central nodes and have distributed antennas throughout. Small cells could be done in the airport instance, but DAS is probably a better fit in large building high usage instances. I think carriers see Small cells a better fit for places they may need just one or two units to add capacity in an area. Places where there is a small coverage deficiency or more capacity is needed to bolster performance for the macro network. If dozens are needed in a concentrated area, DAS is more likely a better fit. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

    No markets really have completion dates. As soon as physically possible. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

    With that kind of weak performance, the site is far away. It could be the existing known site. But if it is a different one, it is likely several miles away. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

    Thanks for the reconnaissance. It will probably take being on another nearby building to see the work there. Bummer. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

    I'm not sure. But Sprint also has a 15bn contract guaranteeing device sales to Apple. They have to take virtually every person who is interested in an Apple product to make the quota. If they fail, they have to pay Apple anyways for those devices. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

    DAS systems are more expensive and complicated to install. Small cells are almost plug and play and can bolt on anywhere where sufficient Ethernet backhaul can plug in and power is available. They are single sector and can be attached to walls, street lights, stoplights. Pretty neat stuff. Small cells will replace some DAS applications. But DAS will still be superior for indoor systems like airports, convention centers, coliseums, etc. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk
