If you know where your tower is, go take some pics.

Post that one in the NV Sites in Progress thread.

Starting within a couple of months, probably, but not likely on all or even most of the towers.

Take pics.

No NV hardware there. Here's what you should be looking for:

The antenna outlined in red is a "legacy" antenna and the two outlined in yellow are the new NV antennas with 800/1900 RRUs, which you can see behind the panel on the left. Note that there are a total of six wires going into the bottom of the NV antennas. This is probably the easiest way to differentiate Sprint's antennas from other carriers'.

If you become a sponsor, you can see not only what towers have been updated in that general area, but also the location of the other towers so that you can keep an eye on their progress.

There is activity down there.

Whereabouts in Tulare?

Has AT&T officially launched LTE down there yet? If not, that's imminent too.

A dozen towers!

 

Its happening!

 

The dairy cows must be thrilled

Low hanging fruit first, I guess. At least now it's encroaching on us from all angles.

Did you notice any USA markings on the ground near the site? I drove by there yesterday, too (god we're nerds) but I couldn't slow down enough to look at the site very closely.

Fixing that is kinda the point of the NV project. Any "stop gap" fixes would only serve to delay the NV upgrades. Not that it would be possible to have a "stop gap" fix that adds 800 service, and 800 wont initially be used for anything beyond 1x anyway.

No NV upgrades = no 800mhz.

Anything for some cheap press. I'd figure out a way.

I want to deploy one tower in an especially rural part of Wyoming with like 82 sectors and 100gb backhaul and have all of the panels point almost straight down towards the ground so practically nobody can use it and then pimp my awesome, unbeatable service out to all of the third-rate internet "news" outlets.

That's essentially what Tmob is doing. Well, maybe not the last part. I am not impressed.

Not sure why you think Sprint has to come before Tmobile, especially when it's well documented that Tmobile basically ignores cities outside of a select few that get HSPA and LTE upgrades. The fact that Fresno is even on that list should be considered an internal error that Tmobile hasn't discovered yet.

okay so I was able to upload these before I got home lol

 

here's the one from East Pine st, lodi ca:

I'm pretty sure the brown one is not the right tower, but I snapped some pics of it just in case since it was pretty darn close to the other tower and appeared to be at the same address. That's as close as I felt comfortable getting to this tower since it was pretty far back on someone's vineyard and I wasn't feeling particularly

 

 

That still leaves Lower sacramento rd and I think one out in woodbridge.. I might be able to snap those tomorrow, and if either of these are too blurry to tell whats on them for sure I can snap these ones again with a better camera.

 

I'm trying to take my mind off things after work  and this is helping out a lot, so I'll be cruising around looking for sites these next few days. If there are any not too out of the way in stockton, I'll snap some of those as well.. I'll have to check the map tonight

The brown one looks like an AT&T site.

There's more than one set of panels on it, though, I think Cricket is on there.

Should I get rid of the address in the pic, too?

Very clever, people. Here's the only one I've located so far for clovis, and I'm not sure it's even for Sprint.

Is it this site where you're finding the permits?

Where do you enter the parcel number?

Killer. How did you find those filings?

Im a fan of the fake pine trees

Yup, there's one of those (VZW) at Bullard/Villa. It's about as convincing as a fat guy wearing running shoes.

Is one of those flagpole towers on the north side of Caldwell at Linwood? I'd always wondered whose tower that was.

Off the top of my head there's only one Sprint flagpole site in the Fresno/Clovis area, and that's the one on the east side of the 168 between Shaw and Willow.

I dunno about you, but I don't see a tower in that picture. I can't see the panels so that means the entire edifice is invisible!

Generally speaking, I've had better luck with performance in Visalia than up in Clovis/Fresno. My record is 0.0/0.08 in Fresno.
