That tower has been upgraded for quite a while. It's not turned on though. Four of the five towers that are within the city of Hamilton are upgraded. The only one that is not is the one on Rt 4 near McDonalds.

Since you're a sponsor, all you need to do is look at the maps: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/4463-network-vision-site-map-cincinnati-market-separated-from-ohio-markets/

It doesn't look to me like there are any NV antennas on that tower, but it's quite difficult to tell considering the pic is not very good. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

Nope, ever since the Trenton tower was turned on, it's been showing up on some parts of the west side.

It could be a multitude of reasons. Signal propagation isn't as simple as: A half mile in one direction I get signal, but in the other I don't. Terrain, trees, buildings are all going to have an effect on the signal. Further, the antennas used on a cell phone tower are quite directional. So it could be an alignment problem, or the sector that points in your general direction just isn't pointed in a good enough direction for you to get the signal in the location you want it. Sometime they don't even point towers in all directions from the tower itself. Are you certain there is a sprint sector pointed in your general direction?

It's all samsung, for the entire Cincinnati market

Well, ever since the trenton tower was turned on, I've been able to get 4g in parts of Hamilton. I guess this is just more of that. Edit: Or maybe it's the Tonya Tr tower getting over there.

I did pick it up briefly by Wal-Mart. Is not the wasserman rd tower. Maybe New Miami? Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

Yeah, I'm right by there now... no 4g. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

That's the best news I've heard all day! Just so happens, I'm headed over that way right now.

Are you absolutely sure it's coming from that tower? How do you know? There is a tower in Trenton that has 4g, and you may be getting onto 4g from that at times.

Nope. I drive by that tower often enough, but it's so far back off the road behind someones house on their private property there is no way to see the base equipment or even if there are trucks up there. So the only way anyone would have been able to see if anyone was up there would have been to see them up on the tower. The only tower in Hamilton that doesn't have the Samsung antennas installed is the one on rt4 behind the old Hollywood Video.

There is a work crew at the tower at 129 & bypass 4. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

I went the other day to take a few pics of towers to see if they had the new antennas up or not, but unfortunately didn't notice that my camera was on manual instead of Av and the pictures were blown out. Didn't even bother to check them on the LCD as I was basically in a hurry. Finally got back over to the wasserman rd tower in Hamilton with my camera. Looks like the new antennas are up there as well. Also took a picture of the tower at 129 & Bypass 4. No antennas up on that tower yet. https://www.dropbox.com/s/uoxyyc5hfol4fpz/IMG_1867.JPG

So are you saying, once winter really hits, no one will be climbing towers? Or they're just trying to get as much of that part done as possible before winter?

Are you sure the new miami tower is up? I can't imagine if it is that you aren't getting further than Sips Ln.

Yeah, I didn't have anything other than my phone with me for a picture, sorry. No, they were on the 3rd rack up, so then it sounds like not working on sprint?

Saw some guys up on the tower at University and Roosevelt in Middletown. Also drove through Trenton to check out the 4g.... Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

I'm thinking I was just barely catching the Trenton tower, doesn't seem to be anything going on in Hamilton yet. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

Edit: double.

Off millvile sorta close to wassmerman rd. It's going in and out of service, I'm inside my house atm, so I'll see what it's like once I get outside. May drive over by Meijer on the way to work to see if it's that tower. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

Just got lte on the west side of Hamilton! Edit: Just lost it. The signal was pretty weak, -112 our worse, so I'm not sure where it came from. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

Those look like samsung panels and RRU's to me, but I'm not completely sure. If so, then the antenna's have been put up, not sure whats up with the base equipment.
