How to Spot Sprint 8T8R TD-LTE RRHs (Nokia Networks)
Faction replied to lilotimz's topic in Equipment Spotting
Why do they install the equipment, but it doesn't go live for a few months? -
I don't think the tower I'm closest to, and use the most, is broadcasting B41. But I did ride around the OP/NAS JAX area and picked up some B41 connections. What areas have you caught B41?
-
Which tower by 295 Normandy? The one behind the Bank of America and Shell or the one next to the highway next to the Herlong overpass? I noticed when I got on the highway today, going towards OP, I caught some B41. Wasn't sure what tower though. edit:...were you able to see if the normandy/fouraker tower is broadcasting B41 at all?
-
I'm guessing for now, 25/26 is sufficient for the area, until they activate the 8t8r panels that were recently installed. Appreciate you for clearing up some misconception I had about the B41 stuff. I love that the Sprint coverage maps show I'm in the yellow area for sprint spark. Today was the 1st time I witnessed my iPhone display B41 while driving around the OP/NAS JAX area.
-
the Normandy/fouraker site...it has 25/26 for sure. but even though it has clear gear, doesnt mean its going to have b41 broadcasting, right?
-
Ah now I have a better understanding. Co-located sites are still broadcasting the old WiMAX signal?
-
So even though the tower I'm bitching about might be co-located with NV equip, it'll broadcast 25/26 but not 41?
-
I'm new to this Band 41 stuff so that's why I'm asking. If I'm getting B41, what equipment is being used to broadcast it?
-
Awesome. This normandy/fouraker tower is the one I use the most. I just drove to other sites on the OP/NAS JAX area and was able to catch B41. But this tower normandy is suppose to be a colocation clear site and I'm not seeing any B41 from it, but everywhere else. Lemme know what you find. But even if the 8t8r equip isn't active yet, shouldn't the site still be broadcasting B41 on the old clear equip?
-
Is there anything specific that needs to be change on the account side of my service, to allow me to connect to B41? I have the iPhone 6 and have yet to touch any B41. I'm in the Jacksonville market.
-
iPhone 6. Switches between B25/26 a lot. Is it possible that there had to be a change made to my account to allow B41 connection, or is it strictly up to the handset?
-
Yes i know. I'm in very close promximity to this tower and never touched B41, even if its still using the old clearwire equipment.
-
I've yet to see any B41 on my iphone 6 with this tower.
-
I've yet to see any B41 with my iPhone 6 at all
-
On another note...I'm irritated we can't use apple pay yet
-
i have the spigen ultra hybrid. all i will need On another note... the 6 likes sticking to B25/26. Have yet to catch B41...
-
Same here. Just glad iphone is tri-band now. on the prowl for B41 today...
-
My iPhone 6 likes to stick to B26 and sometimes bounces to B25, even though the tower behind my house has 8t 8r as well
-
Mine gets here 9/19...Apple site says preparing for shipment. w00t
-
The tower on Kernan/Beach behind Publix has NV Panels now. It wasn't there two weeks ago for sure.
-
I am trembling to hear what the iPhone 6 is all about omfg
-
I'm so excited I'm trembling.
-
The tower by Gateway/FBI has ground mounted radios? Hmm
-
Is it? The RRU are mounted funny. The standard RRU have top and bottom sets while these have only a top set
-
I noticed the sprint tower behind my house has additional panels next to the existing NV panels. A few weeks ago there were crews working on the tower and it looks like that's what they did. One additional panel for each sector. The setup is just like that picture posted above of the tower in OP.
