The tower near Rosedale had been pumping out a very nice LTE signal for about a week. We are back to 3G now. I suppose they could do a dress rehearsal and run it for a while, then do some diagnostic work/tweaking before going live for real.

Shots from the site nearest me: 

 

Cabinets arrived late last week, this is day three of them being on-site.  Seems like it's one or two individuals involved in the installation - it appears that they're deinstalling some of the old Nextel gear to make way for the NV equipment.

 

So far on-site are cabinets, batteries and some antenna brackets.  No sign of NV antennas or RRUs but that will come I'm sure.

 

At this particular site the top rack is TMobile, the next rack down is Sprint.

 

If there are too many pictures I apologize but I figure those of you not in the paid sponsor section should see some of what shows up there to a certain extent.

 

Is this off Terrace Drive in Roseville? It looks like those buildings, and I got the NV email recently (live about a mile south of there). And the guys at the store on Snelling are super slow activating phones today because of network maintenance.

I live very near Rosedale Mall. I just got this happy email today. Very much looking forward to NV and LTE. Our 3G has been decent here, but it is getting stale to always be hearing about the far suburbs and rural areas getting upgrades.

Hi all. Just signed up after "lurking" for a couple months. Have been running sensorly on and off for about a month...trying to help map as much of the metro as I can.

Friday night I was at AMC Rosedale and as I was silencing my Galaxy S-III, I noticed that the "4G" was lit up. I live less than a mile from the mall, and had never noticed LTE in the area...and haven't seen it since Friday night -- it was back to 3G after the movie ended. I'm hoping it was a test that went well and we go online full time real soon.
