Once you see it, you'll know. unfortunately until certain parts of construction are done, it could be anybody unless its obviously a Sprint rack being worked on. T-mobile is doing rollouts at the same time. This is where pics come in handy as we can clue you in if need be.

There was a crew on the tower near 5th and Olentangy today. Not real sure if they were for Sprint or not. There was a crew on another tower near Lane Avenue the other day, for sure not the Sprint tower.

The towers have 3 antenna segments, each with it's own serving cell. There doesn't seem to be a way to calculate the serving cell for LTE, there is for 3G. When you find an LTE site, it is expected of you to drive around all three sectors and document the serving cell from each sector, then wander around for miles running Sensorly. LOL. It's late, I was having fun but essentially that's what he was asking for if you're there and can take a few minutes to do it.

I was on long view on the way home

I was on it the other day but I live between 2 other cells, connect to the farthest one I would ever expect to considering there 4 closer. oh, check your PRL. Sprint likes to force updates on phones. Maybe they're removing the legacy equipment.

LTE at 270 and Westerville Rd, was -110 dBm. I'm on CM so no debug screen for me. But Oakley should be able to snatch it.

Well let's take it out of the home setting and put it into the commercial setting: shopping malls, airports, subways, college campuses, corporate warehouses and distribution centers (say Limited Brands which I know for sure). These are all locations that maybe you just don't want to have public WiFi. Now you have an indoor pico type system with one connection to the internet or to the carrier. You as the facility owner don't have to worry about IP addressing, network security nor anything else because it's all on the carrier. A buddy of mine just finished deploying one of these systems for all the carriers at the Atlanta Airport.

Hi and welcome! I work in Grandview and there hasn't been much happen around here. There are two cells bordering Columbus on the south end of Grandview that have been ready since June, otherwise there hasn't been any work around this area. There's a lot of information on the forums. There's a lot more information in the donate section including progress maps and more information still in the premier donate section. Well worth the price of admission for sure!!! What you are probably experiencing is the entire Columbus area Sprint network reacting to changes in the network. Usually things just start being weird leading up to sites being switched over. This could be in Mount Vernon or Washington Courthouse, all affecting the network. Slow speeds, dropped calls, no service, you name it. In fact sitting still at the office, my phone is acting wonky today so there is probably some sites coming up.

What is it with everyone whining about having to use a SIM card on Sprint's new LTE phones? Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

In northeast Columbus for the day. So far about 10 kinds of wonky going on. There has to be some LTE or 800 acceptance going on. No data, or no cell, or no data nor cell, 800, no 800. Sitting about 400 feet from a ready cell too. Having a trust issue with SCP too, so I verified the no signal with my Eng screen.

Picked up 800 test mode in Delaware this morning. It was a ball hauler too, from near the LTE site at 71/37 all the way in to Delaware. While grabbing all the SCI's I was actually on only 800, no EVDO, nothing. I was floored that the only thing coming out of that cell was 800. I didn't have a lick of service the whole 2 hours I was there. Lancaster is not much better. I don't understand how Sprint could have such a horrible presence in these communities unless it was just for highway coverage.

Yes, the Sprint zone, the barrier reef, aka the ribbon. The area between NV and legacy. It will be bad until they accept more sites there.

Just north of Winchester Pike by maybe 800 feet? Picked up 4-6 800 sites in test mode this morning. I got screen shots but have to go back over them to know which sites specifically. I did get the two on South Hamilton Rd, one next to Groveport HS the other across from Nafzger Park, also Kleinline Ave in Obetz.

I think the range on it kinda sucked comparing it to Grove City or Morse Road.

Brice Rd @ Winchester Pike, speed test. Everything else is posted in the sponsor side. The last two tests are it. The one before that is the speed test from the 800 site at Main @ 270.

LTE in canal Winchester. Brice rd cell. I got the panel info too. 16 down, 14 up at best. Just came alive at about 730. ;-)

I was excited to see that until I saw SID 22449; not live but in test. Digi told me that's not in the stock PRL but his test PRL to hunt sites transmitting before they are official live. Then they change the SID to an active one in the market once its live.

One thing to note if you think you're on 800 is to check the SID & NID displayed in SCP or SCL. SID 4418 with NID 35 is 3G in our market, SID 22442 & 22443 with NID 214 is 800 in our market. That would tell you for sure. If you're using the stock PRL then it's probably by chance you could be connecting to 800. When I'm on stock PRL, the only time I got 800 was when all other 3G was gone. The nearest live 800 to that location is Pickerington & Canal Winchester and those can be received in Whitehall, Easton and downtown.

Dude and I was so gonna ask if anybody knows what day it is? *sob*

Just picked it up. Technically I think the first live not in test mode site inside of 270.

Mine did too. I posted in sponsor side to check your phones if you're not using the official PRL. The drive home was 800 free, I thought they shut them off.

The ugly light blue tower with wires strapped to it just east of James on the south side of 70 has Sprint on it and had the base cabs and RRHs for a few weeks now. Most likely the cells in the Columbus area that aren't active on NV will probably sit idle until the inner areas are ready. This is because of the handoff issue a lot of us know about. I could see 800 being turned on, groups of phone PRL'd over to 800 and then 3G switched over en masse, maybe. But as usual, any changes in the market makes all the cells, old and new, go wonky with slow or non-existent data service and sometimes dropped calls. With five LTE activations in the market, I would expect wonky with a 50% chance of glitchy.

Trespassing!!! Actually surprised I didn't pick up on it when I was down this morning. Must be a weak one. On the weak note, they've bumped some juice into the Basil Western/Diley Rd site, had -42 dBm on that stupid narrow beamwidth antenna they put up there that nicely excludes my neighborhood. When it goes, it's gone. Went from -42 to -87 in one refresh. Feeling like I got Imex Syndrome. lol

That's cool! Now sensorly the place. We want purple! The people demand purple! You have 800 For a couple months too but having an I Phone sprint has pretty much made it so you're phone won't use it for now.
