Except that now, they can't do b41 without re-engineering all of the sites. It's been a while since I checked, but I've never seen a gmr b41 setup.
-
I'm still wondering what Sprint was thinking when they did all of the GMR builds in Fresno.
-
It's not. Very few sites have it.
-
No, TMob on the bottom and ATT on top. The single tier of 3 sectors might be Verizon, but normally they have three or more per sector.
-
That flag is pretty important; removing it (even temporarily) would result in one hell of a stink. The problem with that tower is that it is tapered; normally they are the same diameter all the way up. Before they added the NV gear (and added a slightly wider sheath at the top) I'll bet very few people knew it was more than a flagpole.
-
That was frequently the case for me. There's not enough bandwidth (b41 will greatly help, but it's going to be a while) and there's not enough sites.
-
I'm only aware of one site with B41 gear in Fresno, and that one is a roof top setup. The others are going to be hard because they weren't able to keep the old rackspace from the old, pre-NV gear, so now they have to re-engineer everything all over again. I'd give it another 6 months at least.
-
Close; I'm on Verizon.
-
Finally spotted b41 gear in clovis
-
B41 isn't going to help with coverage unless they add more sites.
-
Verizon has been consistently great here in Fresno.
-
I suspect the rooftop site at Shaw/Blackstone has B41 gear, but there's so much up there and visibility is so poor that it's hard to tell.
-
I saw today that the bellaire site is still a GMO, btw.
-
I haven't seen a single set of B41 antennas in Fresno/Clovis, so that map is even more wrong than usual. It actually shows Spark coverage in areas that don't have LTE coverage.
-
Weirdly enough, I have been in Visalia every day this week and I noticed that that tower is indeed upgraded. Took them long enough, jeez.
-
Yes, almost every AT&T site in fresno looks like that. It makes them very easy to spot.
-
In this area at least, VoLTE is a nonstarter until we at least have 800 LTE. It works great on Verizon!
-
I've heard that AT&T has poopy coverage in the Big Sur area as well.
-
Adding to that, I haven't yet seen any B41 work in Fresno. There's a couple of towers in Clovis that have permits pending, only a couple.
-
No. I'm amazed Bakersfield even has access to electricity.
-
Are the Visalia B41 sites converted Wimax or native Sprint? Or both? I haven't been down there in forever.
-
Pretty sure the Wimax stuff is Huawei. That site has (Samsung) B41 gear, as pictured above.
-
This is what to look for; B41 on the left:
-
I saw B41 gear north of Bakersfield off the 99 a few weeks ago.
