  1. So I get this new gig, which is a decent pay raise from the old one. So excited I called my new manager and ask if I could come in on Saturday 7/13 and setup my office (put up pics of the kids, candy jar, protein bars...). She said no problem I'll meet U there around 2pm. We are chatting while I put up pics, wipe down the desk... then she freaks out when I pulled out on Tf300t... "this is an HIPAA enviroment, we do not allow digital devices, including...... we do not allow personal electronic devices, personal phone calls, personal emails....... access to the web is absolutely prohibited........" So thats what I get for working for a health care company. At this point I'm thinking I have to call my old manager and beg for my job. I am sitting there thinking how the heck do I survive this Armageddon?No twitter, no S4gru, no facebook, no google (can U balee dat_).... Then she suggests a semi private room (no door) outside of the HIPAA zone near IT. I said yes!!! So it's not quite an office, yet I can use the interweb without violating company policy.
  2. I dont know what U're talkin 'bout...... The greatest assembly of ballers on the planet and U got the gall to.......
  3. I'll borrow my daughters htc one and do some mapping in Concord and along highway 49 to I-73.
  4. I also see it on the TF300t since the update to 4.22
  5. I dreamt of owning the upcoming infinity pad, packaged with 10 gigs of prepaid lte data @ 9.99! Then I dreamt a dream of buying the rumored Asus 7" for 99 bucks (not the memopad. The one rumoured to have a snapdragon 600)
  6. It is painful. The housing that covers the glass is glued to it. You'll need some kind of scraper and a heat source to separate the glass from the housing.
  7. I think AT&T force Sprint's hand. They launched a major 4G advertizing blitz on local radio, tv, busses, news papers and college campuses about two weeks before Sprint announced the Charlotte market. I have heard one of those commercials twice since turning on the radio this morning. As I recall they also announced additional markets around the same time.
  8. Check Mecklenberg county (or Gaston, Cabarrus, Union, York or other adjacent counties) permit site for new permits or holds. In NE Meck county I found 2 new permits issued in the last 5 months and 2 holds. Also found one hold in Mt Pleasant, NC. The holds appear to be bureaucratic red tape. Coordinate your search with the the interactive maps in the sponsor section and U'll have better a perspective.....
  9. Eastern Carolina barbecue rocks, the best of the best!! By the way I'm talkin' 'bout de real Carolina (NORTH). It'll even make U forget that no Sprint lte coverage east of I-95 I called 311 earlier today and negotiated my way to someone who could explain why there were a lot of 'holds' on Sprint tower permits in NE Mecklenberg county. While I don't believe she knew what she was talking about, she did admit the holds had to do with improper electrical wiring...... I am headed to my favorite barbecue joint!!!
  10. Thanks for the insight! I haven't opened an engineering book in almost 20 years so don't quote me on this..... I recall reading a paper on PoE as an alternative to T1..... Is it possible or even practical to use PoE as backhaul?
  11. I would have lost the wager. Can't we expect an evolution in backhaul? Perhaps a cost effective point to point wireless backhaul other than mw? Perhaps use whitespace broadband. Sadly power and backhaul are shortfalls of small cells. That being said the East coast, West coast, Upper mid-west and South east could benefit from improve coverage in the near future.
  12. With advent of LTE it is safe to say all major providers and probably a majority of the minor providers are doing some form of upgrades. I'll even wager that coverage becomes non-issue in the next 5 to 10 years for all carriers. Imagine Sprint or Tmo or Vz Installing 5 to 10 picos or DAS in a rural area at a fraction of the cost of a full cell site. It is not infeasible that carriers crowd-source coverage; installing a micro cell in one or two homes in a rural subdivision, every other farm along a lonely stretch of road..... I believe Sprint has a younger user base than ATT, which may account for the Sensorly participation.

    I use ubiq ap at home. I think its the unifi ap pro. Most of them even support dd-wrt. I also use an asus rt-ac66u with dd-wrt firmware.
  15. I have only be able to identify two NV panels on that tower. One pointed in an easterly direction and the other in a southerly. I tried to go near take a few pics but a county deputy shooed me away. It's likely the other panel is on another structure but I could not figure out where. Areas west and southwest of Stough have seen little to no impact since that tower went live. Once you travel past the entrance to Frank Liske park the signal drops from -82 to -109. And it goes in and out from there. It could be the tilt on that panel 10+ degrees
  16. Well a few days later.... Stough rd and hwy 49 in Harrisburg is alive. Crews are installing what looks like NV panels and RRU @ hwy 49 and Morehead rd and near Rocky river rd & Lower rocky river rd
  17. Crews are currently working on the tower near hwy 49 and Strough. You should observe new panels on that tower. I also took pictures of the same crew installing NV panels @ rocky river / i-485 & plz ext.
  18. I don't think that tower is broadcasting...or it may just be a repeater...... A month ago I was on Flowes store rd E (1/4 mile south of that tower) and got LTE on my wife's Iphone 5. Since then I've not been able to pick up LTE. The same for the tower on Plaza rd ext and I-485 / rocky river rd.
  19. I drove from Albemarle to Salisbury via Hwy 52 and to Kannapolis yesterday. We had LTE coverage for over 75% of the trip. My kids were able to stream Netflix until we hit Salisbury. I mapped hwy 52 and some parts of Kannapolis.
  20. My daughter's Evo 4g LTE has problems holding on to LTE service in the Charlotte. After three exchanges I requested an S3, being a former employee (and still on an employee plan - as part of my seperation agreement) I got no where for months until I went to the store @ w t harris and tryon. A tech reviewed my history and got customer care to send me an S3. We own two properties on Rocky River rd, one in Cabarrus county near robinson church rd and other in Charlotte near Reedy creek park. My younger daughter's Iphone 5 gets sprint LTE signal near Milllen rd / rocky river rd, but the the two previous evo did not. The evo would switch to lte for about a second and then swith back to 3g
  21. Charlotte is sure filling up.On my trip to Asheville this weekend I had lte all the way to Kings mountain. Then just west and east of Shelby (Mapped on sensorly). I picked up lte on 74A west of Lake lure and in Fairview (sadly i forgot to run sensorly)
