    Thanks! Sorry didn't realize we couldn't post site IDs here. Next time I'll ask in the sponsor section.

    If I were Sprint, I would probably go the GMO route now and come back and do these as full builds whenever in the future the City of Berkeley deems Sprint worthy enough. However, I wouldn't be surprised if Berkeley even required a GMO to have a permit, even though they would just be switching out ground equipment one for one.

    Is there any place they do gmo in cities because permits are hard to come by?

    other Berkeley sites may indicate that most of the residential areas of Berkeley are in for a quite a wait for LTE.

     

     

    I think an obvious lingering question is why Sprint has apparenty waited so long to submit applications for the site upgrade permits. Assuming that there are many other sites in Berkeley that Sprint intends to upgrade, why not at least start the permitting process as soon as possible? I'm not coming to any conclusions here or trying to slam Sprint. Perhaps there are very reasonable answers to the questions. And it's possible that the listings that I found on the Berkeley city web site are incomplete and there are other permits well along in the process. Though for sure, I'd LOVE to be wrong, in the mean time, it's possible that large areas of Berkeley on the Sensorly map are unlikely to turn purple for quite a while.

     

    I found this one a couple months ago. I posted it in the nor Cal sponsor section.

    I was thinking more of being gmo in the meantime since it may not require additional permits. And circle back when the permits for full builds are eventually approved.

    Still need permits to work on base stations and since most of these are on top of buildings, might as well apply for antennas as well. GMO's are only reserved for low load, high cost, and little gains for the $ sites. Berkeley ones are high cost, high load, and potentially high gains once network vision comes through.

    Ah ok thanks for the explanation. In Roberts gmo posting I thought it said most gmo can be done without permits, didn't know if that applied to places like this or not. Thanks for the further clarification.

    Nope. All full builds. Possibly high capacity sites as well considering UC Berkeley is nearby with 40,000+ students in a few square miles for most of the year.

    Just did a quick permit check. Most cell sites have not have any applications so far. There are a few that was literally applied today and have an estimated issuance date of the end of june.

     

     

     

    Seems my bet earlier that Berkeley is going to be one of the last cities to be begin/finish in the entire market is coming true.

     

    Something that is often forgotten or not commonly understood...a lot of cities require you to go through the planning/zoning dept. first before you can even file for permit. And this is very common in California, especially in the Bay Area. I have done a dozen projects in Northern California from 1997-2009.

    Would berkeley be a good candidate for gmo sites?

    Glad I moved out of berk. I miss it though. Can you post more permit details in the nor Cal sponsor section. I posted some permit port there a couple months back, haven't checked again in awhile.

    Yeah, allegedly the East Bay has launched. I have seen no improvement in Oakland or Berkeley. Oakland is the largest city in the East Bay. Berkeley is up there. I don't know what Sprint is doing but whatever it is isn't working here.

     

    I think only contra costa country has officially launched. Sprint is only partially to blame. It's all the permits being delayed and not approved that's really holding them up in parts of East bay especially berkeley.

    What Sprint Phones Did You Own?

    Been with Sprint since 97-98. I found most of my phones while spring cleaning. Maybe some of you can help me with some model numbers.

    Im missing a samsung candy/flip, the flip protected the dialpad but not the screen.

    Also missing Palm Pixi which i forgot to put in the pic.

    Also missing some repeats or upgrades that didnt change appearance.

    I missed swiping from the old webos days where the Tapatalk client had that ability. I always used to swipe in tap2 and tapHD to no avail.
