same here in 29569. sprint hasn't put a new tower up here in probably over 10 years or more. there's a huge gap of coverage east of 29569 and west of 29569. these places are highly populated and every other provider but t-mobile and sprint has towers every 2 to 3 miles apart in this county. t-mobile has better coverage than sprint even, but they both drop the ball big time here. i'm sure 800mhz will help out but really they need one more tower in the center of the big gap east of 29569 and 2 towers west of 29569. eh whatever they only care about the big metro cities.

I understand your frustration. However, coverage complaints are not the purpose of this thread. I have excellent coverage in my rural area. Sprint's rural coverage is highly variable. But, it is better than Tmo in 90% of areas. You live in one of the anomaly areas, then.

And although AT&T does have better rural coverage than Sprint, AT&T loves to stick it to their rural customers. Sprint is putting LTE over it's entire coverage area. AT&T said they will not because it is throwing a tantrum about not being able to buy out Tmo and is sticking a big middle finger up at their rural customers who want LTE.

I looked on Google Maps for that site and not only does it not show up on Google satellite view, but Street View doesn't show even the Storage One facility by the area. Google is falling behind on their work of mapping the world.

It shows on Acme Mapper. Neat looking palm tree right next to the storage place.

I'm just teasing Ben.

 

And the one off of US 95 looks to possibly be on a street lamp on Oso Blanca Rd. Too bad the map doesn't zoom in any closer. And Robert, this one isn't listed on your Vegas map in the Sponsors section.

This is the same site that Ben posted west of Floyd Lamb Park.

what I've done is find the location of the tower the best i can on Sprints maps, then go to google maps (satellite view) and try to find the tower.

 

Edit: works well for the tower at s hualapai and the 159.. you can see the tower just west of the Bank of Nevada.

I use mapper.acme.com. It's easy to harvest the GPS coords from that one. I can also quickly switch between Google Terrain, Google Maps and Satellite with Acme Mapper. Highly recommend.

I'm not having any trouble finding these sites. All are either building rooftops or existing co-located sites. Satellite imagery is a great thing. Keep 'em coming!

Columbia, MO

 

Got it. Thanks!

However, there is another New Tower located in the far NW corner of the Las Vegas area... just off the I95 at Horse Dr... it is West of a large park called Floyd Lamb Park.

Got it. This one is definitely new. Thanks!

East Bethel, MN County Hwy 18 & Lexington Ave NE

Got both entered in. Thanks!

Robert

Richfield, MN https://network.spri...hfield%2C%20MN/ I noticed it on the site for 1-2 months already.

 

E 66th st / Portland Ave

Here's one I found when I put in my zip code, 55417, south Minneapolis. This tower looks like it's in Richfield, near the airport:

 

These are the same site. This one was already on our maps. Thanks!

Robert

Near Rockaway Ave & Fulton St

Brooklyn, NY

~100ft SW of Grand Av & 54 St

Brooklyn, NY

For NYC it states 5 new towers, and I did find one in Greenpoint Brooklyn, but when clicked all it says is new tower and not address, or coordinates.

 

Its going to be a bit of a job going through the NYC area and clicking on each tower symbol to see which one is new. I'll try to get the rest tomorrow.

 

TS

Got these entered! I either need GPS coordinates, a cross street or screenshot. These are fine. Thanks!

Robert

several new towers in Vegas. 3 near the 315 highway (Charleston Blvd) and the Las Vegas Beltway/215. This is the far west side of Vegas.

This one is already on our maps. Site ID #VG36XC134. I wonder why it says 3? I just see one on the map over there. Is there 3 adds in the market???

Robert

I found one in Boston, MA but I don't live near that location. The box is supposed to point to the top one out of the two.

Got it. Thanks!!!

This one is down by PCH.

 

34.038685, -118.705609

 

Got it. Thanks!

this one is in Los Angeles CA. 34.066774, -118.196118 Hopefully this will help

This site exists on our maps already. Sprint must have planned this one prior to 10/1/2011. Thanks!

Robert

killer view

did you get the other one in phoenix area the one between Van Brunt street and Buckey Rd between 67th and 59th Ave?

Yes. But there is one near KIWA that Ben posted about that I haven't found yet.

Robert

And another.. This one is in Phoenix area close to South Mountain , down by Baseline Rd between 43rd ave and 35th ave

 

Yeah, that's the first one BenChase7 sent me that started all this. Thanks!

Robert

I appreciate the suggestion. However, when we close a thread, no one can post on it anymore and it can't get moved back to the top. It accomplishes the same thing. Eventually, all LightSquared and Nextel threads will get closed.

Robert

Here's another I found. This one is in Phoenix / Chandler area..

 

 

sorry for the low resolution guys..

 

Added the Queen Creek AZ and the Imperial Beach CA site. Thanks!!!

Robert

I could not find one in atlanta, but I found one near memphis,tn. It looks like it is near airline rd and jetway dr.

 

Got it. Thanks!

Robert

Can you consider archiving in the future? Maybe once Nextel and LightSquared is completely dead!

I don't understand. Are you asking for me to remove them from the site so you don't have to see those posts anymore? If so, the answer is no. We will leave posts indefinitely. They will always remain relevant in their historical context. They will just move farther and farther down the list.

Our site is indexed by search engines, and even these old posts draw people to the site. Posts stay indefinitely.

Robert

Is there anyway a post can be archived?

No. Posts are forever.

Robert

Humm, that new tower that hypeo posted in SD is going to be immediately followed by a data speed upgrade, fwiw

I noticed that. I wonder if it's in reference to enhanced backhaul making it to the site? Interesting.

Robert

elk steaks

*drool*

EDIT: Another at KIWA, just southwest of the field.

KIWA???? I can't find anything labeled KIWA! Don't get all native on me.

Robert

Thats a good point. All of these towers are pretty far from me, but I should be able to make that happen over the next week.

Was there a specific site, or just any of the 3 new ones I found??

It could be any site. However, the one at Cesar Chavez High School really is intriguing to me. It's also on public property and will be easier to access, most likely.

Robert

You might want make this topic PINNED.

Good idea. Done!

Ha! my first true contribution. Glad I could help. Thanks for the shout-out!

 

I'm just glad to see that Network Vision does include network expansion of this kind. I was not aware of this until today.

It was news to me too. Hey, maybe you can go check out this site? It looks like it is built into the light standard to a High School football field. Maybe you can take some pics? I wonder if these new sites will be built to Network Vision standards? Doesn't make sense to build a new site, then go right back in 6 months and NV it!

Robert

Good to hear! So, we're looking at roughly 640 new cell towers with Network Vision?... that we know of.

No. I know of 344, plus now these two.
