  3. Posted below is a map of Network Vision sites that are complete in the Joliet area. As you can see, there are a lot of them. Sponsor members have access to all the completed NV sites maps and can zoom in and pan around. As well as more than 100 other maps. Robert

  5. by Robert Herron Sprint 4G Rollout Updates Wednesday, April 18, 2012 - 12:59 AM MDT Last week we brought you a live LTE coverage map from Sprint sites in the Atlanta/Athens, Georgia area, and now we are bringing you a Sprint LTE coverage map from Waco, Texas. Waco is in the Sprint Austin market. The coverage you see below is from a 4G LTE FIT (Field Implementation Test) that Sprint and Network Vision Partner Ericsson created. It was put together to begin testing and training LTE deployment, as well as a field testing zone for LTE devices. This coverage is live now. If any of you folks down Waco way get your hands on a Sprint 4G LTE device in the next couple of days, let us know what you find when scanning for a LTE signal. Speed test from Ericsson field test reports look mighty fine, with speeds over 20Mbps when you have a strong LTE signal. Sponsors have access to interactive versions of these maps and can zoom in and pan around. More LTE coverage maps are coming soon. Stay tuned to S4GRU.com for all the latest Sprint Network Vision/LTE news and information. P.S. - Full Network Vision deployment in the rest of the Austin market will begin in June! 4G LTE Coverage Map near Waco, Texas. Coverage maps were generated in collaboration with CloudRF.com.

So Chris did what any other S4GRU follower would do...go investigate. Chris was able to get several good shots of the site, including screen shots of performance tests. In the photos above the article, you can see the Sprint section of the tower, at the very top. In the photos, you can see the remote radio units (RRU's) and a new 800/1900 combined Network Vision panel, one per sector (side of the tower). The old legacy panels are still visible and not yet removed at this point. Chris performed some performance tests and was able to get consistent 100ms pings and download speeds over 2Mbps, with it slowing down to a still respectable 1.4Mbps at peak times. These are good improvements over the legacy 3G EVDO that was in the area. We love bringing you stories of Network Vision improvements. Chris has shared his experiences. We cannot wait until Network Vision comes to you too!

    This is a 3G speed test taken from the new NV site at an off-peak time, the next morning. The ping is pretty high, but probably server related. Special thanks to Cpeatridge for this screenshot. April 10, 2012.

    The money shot. Sprint is at the top of this tower. If you look carefully you can see the new combined 800/1900 panels. They are the larger ones. One per sector. You can also see the new RRU's. The smaller panels are legacy, and will be removed. Special thanks to Cpeatridge for this photo. April 10, 2012.

    Looking at the newly upgrade site from away. Special thanks to Cpeatridge for this photo. April 10, 2012.
  19. This thread is about WiMax Protection Sites. There are already 6 active WiMax Protection Sites in the Little Rock metro area. See the map below. However, Sprint will not be getting to Little Rock with 4G LTE deployment for awhile still. Some time in 2013. Robert
