So those of you with sg3 showing LTE disabled are you sure you are not in CDMA only mode?

My note II shows enabled and I dont have LTE coverage right now.

What's interesting about the photos from the site on 301 north of the fairgrounds is that the setup looks very similar to the ones on the tower I posted near my home in Riverview. It varies from other, larger sites, that have the typical 4 rear RRU setups we have been seeing in Spring Hill, St. Pete, Cocoa, etc. Is the RRU requirement for smaller cell sites different due to capacity? It appears that site on 301 is a Sprint only site (as already mentioned) so wondering if there are different configurations out there? Robert?

are you sure 4 RRUs? I thought the one in Spring Hill only had 2 RRU per panel they were just one on top of the other. where as the 301 ones were 2 stacked side by side. But then again it was seriously dark when I was in Spring Hill. the tower in Land O'Lakes only has 2 per panel they are mounted one on top one on bottom.

I have screen shots. But I can't post them. I keep getting errors the attachment is to large.

use dropbox and link the public link. you should have gotten a free dropbox account with your SG3

Do you guys know ruffly how many towers are in the tampa area?

Become a sponsor and you can look at the maps

I believe most non NV sites are running T-3s (44 Mbps) which consists of 28 T1s. If that isn't available the will bundle T-1s (1.5Mbps). NV puts OC3 (155 Mbps)or Microwave in place.

Sorry I am going off topic, but I am canceling my FIOS, I am at my 2 year anniversary, they want me to sign a 2yr deal and give me $20/mo discount. so it would be $125 still I am signing up under my wife's name because that is the only way I can the good deal. My wife as a new customer gets $79.99/mo/2yrs and a $300 gift card.

Silly Verizon

that's the truth, I would pay whatever to get FIOS in this area..

Brighthouse is the other provider.

I have found the issue that we are all having it will be 14 years before we have LTE in this case! LOL

they are on the complete maps but show a different color

Ahh Ha! Thanks.

where are the maps that show the in progress maps. I know they are in the sponsored area. I think I am a little slow sometimes.

not the best pics but here you go. click on the pic for full resolution. I think the EVOLTE had a better CMOS than this NOTE II.

Got some pics with my phone will upload when I get home

I will have pics around 5pm

here is a pic from google maps of the tower. obviously before upgrade. This is so you guys in the area will know where I am talking about. I will get pics of panels this afternoon

I drive by it 4 days a week heading home. I like too skip the MLK to fowler section of 75 so I take 301 down to fowler.

 

 

Ill have to check that one out. Earliest I can get by there is Wednesday. T-Mobile has been doing a lot of work in that area too.

It is a single carrier tower. And based on Roberts map it is a Sprint tower.

They either went up thurs, friday or today because last time I purposefully looked up there they weren't there on Wednesday

Yes every day

NV panels are up on tower on 301 at Langston junkyard just north of the fairgrounds no 4g signal but I will take pictures tomorrow

Fine with me as long as they do it everytime. then I don't have to keep hoping everytime I come up on a tower that has NV Panels on it already.

I agree but we have been looking like crazy. All of us have been. I know over in some areas of the Tampa market and S/W Florida especially that you would have to know where the site is and drive to it. What I mean is you wouldn't just casually come across it during your daily drive.

 

In Pinellas county though you can almost see every tower from the main routes through the county. Even that one in Spring Hill is on 19 definitely a main street. Only reason we missed that is because we don't have anyone that far north and who the heck would think that would be first. Which makes me think it's not the first

That Spring Hill tower doesn't give coverage on 19 btw.

So we have our site in Sprint Hill in our update but I'm still mad (not really). Wish we knew more about this site like how long the work has been done there, how long it has been giving a signal, who was it that put it on Sensorly, is that person actively looking for Sprint LTE or was it a fluke?

 

It may tell us something about the other sites we know with panels and cabinets done. Robert said that this site was not accepted last week if we had got an update from what he had saw, but this week it turned up. So it makes me think the Spring Hill site could have been up for a month or longer possibly and that may actually make some sense. So where are the other sites then?

I have a sneaking suspicion that the Ericsson/Sprint Engineer that checked off the site did a little Sensorly action. because it was only at the tower. Basically like throwing meat to a pack of wild dogs saying "Go get it!"

I think next blobs will be on 54 either on land o'lakes or wesley chapel. The other 2 towers sba is working on

Pass by RJ at least 3 times a week so I will keep my eyes peeled
