What happened to the LTE signal in West Boca? It worked for a couple of weeks and now has been gone for more than a month. Has anyone heard something?

 

i thought it was on again when they launched wpb?

i lost my gs3 again so i just assumed it was on

There has not been any 4g lte in west boca now for 3 days since that tower outage. I hope they turn it back on soon

Happy birthday Robert an happy easter. Thanks for all the hard work you put into this site.

The fcc needs approve the deal so that Sprint can just unleash there massive network faster.

Cool! Thanks!

I drove along 441 and did get great coverage and speed but as soon as I turn towards Lyons Road it dropped. I live very close to Shadowood but it doesn't reach here.

I live jus down the street in a neighborhood called south wind lakes an I get 2 bars an about 5mbps dl. I work at sports authority an I get 27 mbps lol

Which ones? I'm close to 441 and Glades but barely get any signal.

 

There is 3. One is by shadowood. An another one is by the post office off boca rio an the other one is on glades behind a party city or office depot. That one is real close the one by the post office I did some mapping.

Here are some speed tests.

3 towers in west boca are live

 

 

Yeah, Visalia is that way too. And it appears that AT&T is preparing to launch LTE in Visalia as they have been doing work on their sites recently.

 

 

This was just done last week.

What is the usual reason why a site not being live right after it is done with upgrades? Cause there one site that was just accepted but nothing out of it. Also 2 other sites have been done from the looks of it an nothing out of them ethier?

 

 

Except in Vegas where AT&T is using 2 RRU's per panel on most LTE upgrades.

Really? That's interesting. Probably higher data traffic in that area?? Cause I have seen 3 towers that are all within 2 miles from me have 3 rrus.

Here are some pics I took recently from towers that were just upgraded. There is usually 2-3 rrus(really big box) directly behind the pannel. At&t use almost a similar set up but with one rru behind the pannel. Also sprints an at&t pannels look the same but u can defer them with how manny rrus are behind them. Verizon does not use rrus an same with t-mobile.

U will notice in the pics that there is a long white pannel with 3 rrus behind them. Thats what u need to look for

What does that mean? Is it important for lte or somthing

The new site in boca raton just off boca rio road is about 1.5 miles away from my house will I be able to pick up a signal from that far

 

 

There are quite a few Miami market sites I need to add. I'm way behind.

Robert do what u can do man don't kill yourself over a update. We all know ur busy. An also can any one show me a pic of lte cabinets I don't know what they look like. The towers by me have the pannels am rrus but I can't tell what cabinet is sprints

There a reason why sprint is number 3 an maybe soon to be number 2? Tmobile is 4th because they have bad coverage in certain areas an they dont have a true 4g net work. I read. That hspa is really a 3g network on crack

T-mobile uses a mix of 5x5 and 10x10 depending on location and availability of spectrum (AJ can answer this for you).

 

Sprint is using 5x5 for both LTE 1900 and LTE 800 with probably 20 for Clearwire's TDD-LTE.

 

T-mobile uses two vendors iirc. Ericsson and Nokia Siemens. Their ericsson panels are called AIR and it's basically an all in one solution. The NSN panels do have RRU's and I've been seeing them be called TMU's. Looks to be 1 TMU per panel installation in the permit records that I've been looking through.

 

would u say there is a benifit speed wise with tmo all in one pannel vs sprint 2 rru per pannel? my guess is sprints is got more range cause of the 2 rrus vs tmo

i read tmo uses 5x5 so what does sprint use? an another question is whys sprint use rrus an tmo does not

i read that open signal found tmobile lte in denver. las vegas kansas city new orleans new york san diego san jose seattle

Just saw guys installing new pannels on a tower in boca off of 441 N glades. The pannels are sprint lte ones there is 2 rru for each pannels an 6 ports connected at the bottom of the pannel. I have pics an i will post them later. Im really excited cause the tower is right up the street an i will have lte at my work whicch is right across the street from the tower. I dont have my gs3 cuase it was stolen so i dont know if lte is up an running. I will be getting a new phone this weekend so ill do tests when i can.

 

here are the pics

the tower off 441 an glades boca raton is being worked on again. i was driving home for my break an noticed guys climbing the tower. so this is now the 4th time this tower being worked on. maybe its down???

 

i drove by the tower to see what the guys had done cause its raining now so they left. what they did so far was build a platform right below the pannels. i guess they put the platforms there so that they can take the pannels off an put the new ones on with no problems but thats my assumption. if i get the chance tomorrow ill ask the guys what they are upgrading

They're messing with you.

 

 

But really, it could be prep work, adding an additional holder(s) for more panels that wouldn't necessarily visible, maintenance, nothing Sprint related, any number of things. Without pictures and seeing the guys working on it, it's hard to say anything about it.

oh ok. I am going to go up to the tower an take a look next chance I get cause I noticed all the stuff when I was driving by. I am going to have to find my camera an take pictures cause i lost my gs3 an besides they take crappy pics. i am hoping to seeing some good things

on the 11th of march the tower on 441 an glades in boca raton had a rope attached to the tower but the next day it was gone an i didn't notice anything different on the tower so today there was a Crain near the tower an again i didn't see anything different on the tower. my question is why there was a Crain next to the tower but nothing looked different. im not saying sprint was working on it but this is twice in a week that there was something going on with the tower but nothing seemed to happen???

I just noticed the tower on 441 and glades is about to have work done again to it cause there is a rope attached to the tower. The first two time the tower was being worked on was for tmobile and verizon. I hope the third time is the charm an its sprint working on this tower next. The bad thing is i lost my gs3 i guess i have really bad luck if i dont have my gs3 an the tower up the street gets upgraded

Im hoping for more towers in boca or delray in the next update

 

 

All I know is that when I am near glades an I-95 I have a full 5 bars of LTE. On the sprint website it shows the tower just to the southeast of the overpass. I know its this tower because on the Network Vision site that is the closest one that says "Data Speed Upgrade"

 

I was by there today its a tower right by the boca raton high school near the exit ramp on 95. I could not find a street to get to the tower I think the only way is to go through the school parking lot an the gates were locked lol. Also there are pannels on a amtrust bank building by the cheese cake factory near the mall. I have pics of that but none of the pannels look like network vision pannels but I could be wrong maybe both towers are upgraded cause when I was near the cheese cake factory my speeds jumped. Then when I got near the 95 exit ramp next to another tower my speeds jumped again.here are some pics.

Thats the amtrust bank pannels.

Here is the tower between 95 an the high school. I didnt get close cause I guess the only way to get near it is to go through the school parking lot an it was locked.
