So in Yuma the Foothills Blvd tower still is not broadcasting lte. My Airave crashed at home and had to call sprint for a replacement, the tech said the system showed that tower is scheduled to be lte live in the next 3 months. I still have no idea why that one tower was left out of the mix when all the other towers in Yuma went lte live

Sorry to burst the bubble. The crews are working on the at&t top rack. That psych pass been 3g accepted with new NV panels for over a month. The bottom rack where the cres are working are the Sprint's NV panels.

Dang, could have sworn I saw them working on the 2nd tier at one point. I am getting older though, mind must be playing tricks on me

Ive got a meeting over there tomorrow. I'll see if I can get close to the tower and do some investigating

Crews are still out working on that tower by the air station. Almost daily for the past week. Was out there yesterday, still no 4g but something was definitely up as I kept losing and regaining 3g connection.

Sweet, they were definitely working on the second set of panels when i saw them. Heading over that way today for my kids soccer games, if it's transmitting 4g I'll try to get the engineering screen shots.

If its the one right across the street from that shopping center, then yes it is. Should be just on the other south side of the street on 40th street. There are two carriers on that site. Top one is At&t bottom one is Sprint.

The one I'm talking about is in this area

If its the one located on 3E and 40th. Sprint is located on the second tier; the top one is At&t. If the crews are working on the second tier, they might be making final adjustments to the antennas to go live. Same thing happened to the one on Atlantic Ave before it went live. The crews were adjusting the location of the antennas, then about a couple days later the site went live.

It was not that tower then I saw the crews working on. It was the one a little further north (like 1/8 mile) off 3e, right by the little shopping center and Jack in the box and Chevron.

Seen crews working on the tower across from the Air Station in Yuma... Not sure if it's the sprint tower though. I do know that the sprint tower out there is not transmitting 4g yet... Maybe soon?

I downloaded the Sensorly app and mappped down Fry Blvd and MLK Blvd. It shows up on my phone but not on the web page. I am new with this app is there something I need to do to get it to upload?

Give it a little while, sometimes takes a couple of hours to upload trips you map

I wonder if the tower by the air station is broadcasting lte now, or maybe that is the one by the Foothills Walmart

Sensory is showing lte along I-8 corridor out in the Foothills of Yuma. When I pick it up I'll try to grab some engineering screens to see if it's a new tower

I think there is atleast the left, one by the air station, one out by the Wal-Mart by 8e, and the one out of Foothills blvd...would be nice to see 4g out by my house, in town coverage is pretty good...even got coverage sitting in the Harkins movie theater a couple weekends ago

Seems towers are going online pretty steadily in Tuscon...however things have seemed to die of here in Yuma. Still crossing fingers we'll get some towers turned on east of the city

Any word on the east Yuma towers? I think backhaul has been done. I've noticed very bad data signal from the airport and eat out to the foothills. Pandora constantly pausing whilst driving

Some Yuma Samsung lte engineering screen shots

First signal check pro shot

Good stuff, Jeff!

 

I've got a small to-do list still running if anyone's bored:

 

Tucson HTC/LG/iPhone folks: We've only got hex IDs for the new tower at OG/Oracle. If you're bored I could use 'em for the rest.

Tucson Samsung/iPhone folks: We don't have confirmed serving cell IDs for that new tower, Park/18th, or the one in Drexel.

 

Yuma Samsung/iPhone folks: We've got hex IDs for everything, but we don't have serving cell IDs for anything. Not a big deal if Hypeo is going to be the only person handling this...

 

Southeast AZ folks: I hope people are running Sensorly in Santa Cruz and Cochise County.

I'm in Yuma and a Samsung user, what do you need I'll try to do what I can

It's the one in front of it next to I8

Ah, thx. Not the one I saw the cherry picker on then. Wishful thinking I guess.

I drive by there everyday though so I'll keep my eye on it for activity.

Strange signal issues today though. So I work of 195 and County 14, I usually get about 3-4 bars of coverage but today I could only pull about 2-4 bars of roaming all the what from there, up Araby, on I8 and into town. Id say I finally picked up a Sprint signal around exit 2...weird

Anyone have an idea which tower is Sprint's out by the Wal-Mart on 8e and 32nd in Yuma? Is it the one across the street in that fenced in compound which looks like it had multiple carrier panels on it or is it the one just east of the Wal-Mart?

I saw a cherry picker out working on the smaller tower just east of it for the past 3 days now.

No it wasn't xD go on sensorly and you'll see the results i Yuma. :-)

The mapping by the air port/MCAS, 24th, and Hwy 95 was me!

Didn't notice any 4G though today while I was over at the air station again.

Mine dropped off about that time as well on my way back to the Foothills on 16th/Hwy 95.

Here's some screen shots, not the best speeds but prob not connecting to the tower by the air station, but one father away.

I mapped sensory should show up later today or tomorrow, sensory says it can take up to 24 hours to reflect. Screen shots, I'll post some in a little bit

Confirmed lte at air station, screen shots to follow!

In south county too...

With Sensorly, I was loosing signal completely at times, near Ave B & Cty 19th. In San Luis AZ the same, when you move away from the Hwy 95 corridor.

 

On a side note: It's fun mapping with Sensorly..... I find myself looking for places to drive though on my trips just so I can map it.......

(Can't wait for LTE......)

 

Lateck,

I would agree, a tower in the south of the country would be nice. I'm in the Marines and our shooting ranges are located in the southern portion of the county.

I think I roam on a Mexico tier when I'm down there

 

 

Do you know if Sprint has plans to add more towers in Yuma County?

I have been playing with Sonsorly (FUN ) and I am finding a lot of 1 & 2 bar 3G areas.

I have not seen an acceptable speedtest in the county.. (on Sonsorly)

But the main corrador of Yuma is in the 3~5 bar 3G range

 

Lateck,

 

 

 

 

To answer your questions about sprint adding more towers. Looks like they are. If you look at the sprint network enhancement map, looks like they added one more tower on 24th Street and 4th Ave,
