I'll be back in Byron Center on Thursday and do as much mapping as I can. Missed it by just a couple of days.

My buddy had an LG Revolution, one of Verizon's first LTE phones and it had to reboot when switching from EVDO to LTE. It was very annoying when he was checking to see if LTE was deployed in Lansing yet. The LTE on that phone was a battery killer, it was terrible. Almost as bad as the Wimax chipset on the OG Evo

How much of that 200Mhz is leased EBS? How much of that 200Mhz did Clearwire try to sell off with no takers a few years ago?

Can anyone in the GR area spot check a tower for me I saw while driving yesterday? Near Cutlerville, northside of the M-6, just east of exit 11. I swear there is NV panels and RRUs on the tower, but couldn't get pictures while driving.

You need to do whatever is best for your family. Sprint is in the process of upgrading almost every tower in its entire network and will be done sometime in the next year. No one can guarantee when the towers you connect to are going to be upgraded, but there are maps of sites in progress for the S4GRU sponsors who donate money to help keep the site going. You might see some towers already in progress in the area or you might not.

Sprint shutting down the old Nextel Network in June and reusing that spectrum for voice calling will make a huge difference in coverage for sites that are ready. Chicago is already reusing a section of Nextel spectrum for voice calls because they are spectrum constrained.

This is a forum for maintaining information about the Network Vision upgrade, not complaining about Sprint's coverage, please remember that when posting. If you have specific towers or areas of concern, you need to contact Sprint support and open a trouble ticket.

It's it a high traffic area?

It's Lansing, not the biggest population and there are other towers around it. Back in the day I would say yes to high traffic due to the old GM plants, but those got tore down years ago. It is fairly close to the freeway that bisects town. I'm going to try and get some pics with my DSLR in the next few days.

The techs were installing RRUs yesterday.

I retract my earlier post, driving home from work and saw a tower being upgraded. NV panels are freaking huge.

 

Talked to a worker, said two other crews were working on Lansing towers and they had done six in Grand Rapids.

I swung back by this site yesterday and they were working again. I need to get my camera over there, but this site appears to have two NV panels per sector. Is this normal?

ho the hell did you get that to post? I kept getting errors that I couldn't use an image extension. Been fighting it for like 10 mins

This isn't your job nor is it your family. Those both come first, we'll survive

If there is anything you can delegate out, I'm always available to help out.

This site hasn't been migrated to NV yet.

Crap, didn't look at the panel size, it is way too small for at&t

Some have 4 RRU's.

 

-- "Sensorly or it didn't happen!"

4 RRUs? 1900 CDMA 1900 LTE 800 CDMA & ?

800 LTE is only in unconfirmed FITs have you found some in NOLA?

^ ATT.

Why would you think that?

There are only 4 outputs on the bottom of the panel with a single RRU, that screams AT&T from all of the pictures in the how to spot a panel thread. I thought the Sprint NV panels had 6 outputs and 3 RRUs per sector.

The bottom set of panels look to be Clear Wimax.

Except at my house... where they are too lazy to get out of the truck. Watch the truck zoom by the house on the cameras and the guy never stops since he assumes no one is home with no cars there, track the package and it says delivery attempt or whatever. Then I end up having to go an hour round trip to their office on the other side of town. No thanks. As long as they have the same lazy driver that throws packages at your door for my area, I'm not ordering from a company that ships FedEx.

I had something similar, but got a bit of karmic revenge. I was home one day waiting for a delivery (needed memory for a PC I was building for a client). I was refreshing FedEx every half hour when magically it changed to unsuccessful delivery attempt. After a half an hour on the phone with FedEx and 3 managers, I got the address of the distro center. Not a standard office, but the warehouse at the airport and went over there. Happened to run into a poker buddy who worked there, not only did he help me get the package, but I got to question the driver in front of his peers/management. He had no answers as to why it was listed as a delivery attempt when I was home all day and there was no door hanger, etc. I still run into that poker buddy occasionally and that guy still gets harassed around the office

Up yours
