Because there's still non-NV gaps that prevent them from turning on groups of sites like they did on the south end of town. There's like a NV DMZ between Dakota and Belmont; frickin' gandalf out there shouting YOU SHALL NOT PASS at all of the Caltrop and CBA trucks.

Nice! Something is happening.
-
I would bloody well hope so. That site has been in progress for over a year.
-
Top is tmob I believe. They're the only ones around here that do the 2x2x3 antenna config without pole mounted RRUs.
-
Kerman finally gets some love. LTE should be right around the corner out there.
-
There's a site near North and 99 that I went by after I checked on the Peach/Jensen one; No LTE activity there, though I suspect that will not be true for long.. The Peach/Jensen site has some reach.
-
I'm actually on the 99 right now, and I did indeed have LTE for a split second near central. I'll swing back through here later to get more info. http://i.imgur.com/9nn7vKC.jpg

Sweet. I'm going to go check this out this afternoon.
-
Not a bad day for Fresno/Clovis!
-
That's not a very good location, unfortunately. We'll have to see how band 26 LTE fares.
-
Once they get this one done, a Clovis cluster launch becomes a possibility, but I'm thinking Clovis/Fresno will launch together. In other words, 6+ months to go.

It's a GMO, last I checked. I wont be in that area any time soon so you may want to check it out periodically and take pics if you aren't sure what you're looking at. On the plus side, the GMO in Fowler was being converted the last time I went down that way.

Got my VZW 5S activated today; LTE here near River Park is slow as camel balls in winter. It's not band 4, though.
-
It certainly explains why AT&T has had to replace all of their monopoles in fresno while they haven't in clovis. It also explains why sprint has had to deploy all of their fresno sites as GMRs. Assuming the rules don't change, when the b41 equipment is added they will have to obscure the antennas or replace the towers entirely just like AT&T did.

I found some interesting reading that may (partially) explain why Sprint's Fresno rollout has taken as long as it has. http://www.fresno.gov/planningdocs/June042014/A.pdf Also, major lols at AT&T's proposal for an 8 foot wide stealth monopole. That's just highlighting the stupidity of the rules.

I've actually been perusing the fresno county and city of Clovis planning department agendas over the last couple of days. This is is one place to see proposals for new cell sites. Of what I've checked so far, it's about a 70/30 split between Verizon and AT&T. There was one document that stated that Verizon had "71 other sites in Fresno county," which isn't that far off from what sprint has. The spacing is just woeful for the frequencies that sprint is using, though... I am eager to see how 800 1x and LTE fare.
-
Yeah, and there's a ways left to go. I'm getting a VZW 5S from work on Monday; I am excite. That'll hold me over until I figure out whether or not it's worth renewing the Sprint contract when the 6 comes out.

How to Spot Sprint 8T8R TDD-LTE RRHs (Samsung)
Oedipus replied to lilotimz's topic in Equipment Spotting
Almost all of the sites in the city of Fresno are GMRs, like this: The legacy gear is kept up in the air only long enough to get the new NV hardware plugged in. All 6 RRUs are on the ground, like so: The county of Fresno (and Clovis, and everywhere else on planet earth) has different standards, apparently, so their sites look like more like this: -
This morning: This afternoon: Yay Clovis
-
No, things are moving along ok.
-
2 miles is a long way, especially when the starting point is mediocre (-111 LTE). You're still much closer to the Acequia site than the Farmersville site, but you may be encountering an issue with the orientation of the antennas relative to your house.
