Yes. Full build means new cabinets, panels/antennas and backhaul. This is a complete overhaul of the cell site.

Remember that a "Launch" really is nothing substantial here. I do agree it helps with reputation as well as show competition with the big 2. I just don't hold much clout to launches. We already know that acceptances are the key

1. Can't remember what the name of my first one. Screen wasn't even color. 2. Sanyo SCP-5300 (the worst phone ever) 3. LG PM-325 (had to do slider) 4. Samsung MMA-900, The BLADE. Couldn't compete with the Razr. This by far has been my favorite phone. 5. Blackberry curve 8330 6. Samsung Instinct s30 grey 7. HTC Evo 4g 8. Iphone 5

From my understanding, I believe that Sprint plans on putting the BRS/EBS on most towers in a metro/suburban area. This comes back to Robert's point above that Sprint has closer/tighter spacing in urban/surburban areas for capacity reasons previously. With EBS/BRS blasting, Sprint will be a leg up ahead of the competition. Side note, I didn't think there were any Verizon LTE devices capable of the AWS as of yet. Edit: I see that the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is capable.

Made it to the site. This tower has many different carriers on it. I took pictures but I can't figure out for the life of me how to upload. Anyways, there was one panel/antennas per sector. For each of the three panels, there were 3 RRU's. It appeared to be fresh dirt dug for a trench. I cannot confirm what it was for as I did not see a Centurylink box anywhere (assuming CL is the provider for this tower). I toggled airplane mode several times hoping for a "LTE" sign but no dice (also restarted once). I ran two speed tests. Each came out to 0.94 and 0.98 DL and 0.50 and 0.54 UL respectively (each ping time was 142 and 138). Overall, it was really awesome to look up and see the RRU's. Can't wait to see more of these around town. As always, thanks Robert for the head' up on ABQ market. I know you are just as ancy as we are here. Edit: I am a retard. https://photos-5.dropbox.com/t/0/AAD01DlNoZR3-bJhuJZnMbddx0jvTeOd6BCCr1UYd9ad-g/12/26201613/jpeg/32x32/3/_/1/2/image%20%284%29.jpeg/OLZAetTzGioQTWdE7JQuEeMkkmea-EKYZjJio_T70U8?size=1024x768

Still worth a peek. I would like to see first had the updated cabinets and antennas.

I am heading over there soon and I will take some pics.

Good pic. However, it looks very similar to the TMO antennas that I saw put up over by Academy and Seagull Street.

there is no pic.

Hammond is Jammin! Hammond is Jammin! I love your post. I am still stuck in Window Rock, AZ

I can't like this post more than once. Will keep an eye out on my way back from Gallup tomorrow.

I saw the same thing. Maybe installs will be quite easy. The whole ABQ market is getting to the best time of year for weather. No rain. Sun all day. Hopefully no more wind.

I found the perfect job for you Robert! Pays pretty well. http://www.bullhornreach.com/job/736464_construction-manager-ii-for-ericsson-albuquerque-nm

What will happen to protection sites in the future? Will Clear keep them online?

Its ok. I am from NM and currently live. However, I spent all of my college years in the SHOW ME state. GO CARDS!

I haven't been to Rancho de Chimayo in a while. Will need to do my own 'homage' to Chimayo.

Depends on where you getting this? If it is coming from my favorite place in Pojoaque, then I would say. However, don't be fooled by the knock off Mexican. Plus now that ABQ has chick-fil-a, wouldn't he like a sandwich instead? I miss me some Chili Works. Totally worth driving up to my parents house for the weekend.

That is awesome.

Even though I am not in El Paso, tx, please update with the newly announced communities that will be getting soon.

Well that got butchered.

I have been texting a friend that ran the Boston Marathon all day. She is ok and thankfully Sprint is operational. If it wasn't, our family would be worried sick.

Why are you here then?
