Today I had a 45 minute conversation with a guy who works with erricson an he explained how everything works with towers an permitting etc. He was tellin me how he got shut down working on some towers in orlando yesterday due to some birds lol. But he said boca raton shouldnt be much longer but there is a few problems with towers in boca due to them being already full an since they are full it will take longer to get permits an work done. There concerned with putting rru's an new panels that are heavy on the beams that are full. He said a rru can weigh around 30 pounds the plus the pannel. Also he was telling me that each city has there own rules to where they put rru's. It was a good very convo lol

I work at sports authority right across the way from that tower lol. I always scope out that tower. But there is no sprint rrus on there I have checked that tower so many times. I live down the street from that tower an drive by it all the time

Oo ok thanks for the info man.

I have another question. Why is that tower so small as to hieght? Everg tower I seen are like 400 feet tall an the one I took pics of is very very short. Is that because that tower is made for a specific reason or range ?

im goin to the maps to check an get the tower number. i thought they looked like at&t or maybe metros.

Is this sprints pannels. Its a small tower behind a radio shack off 441 in boca raton. http://db.tt/UeYVSfhU http://db.tt/JPPn30xz

oo ok. well since there is on 35 done out of 520 its going to be a while until they officially launch the market. launch percent is 40-50 percent right? it might take another 3 months i think cause in January work might or possibly pick up cause its the holidays right now so erricson most likley is not at full force

I was looking at the map of completed sites an I counted 35 from miami to west palm that are completed. I think thats pretty good speed since the market is very big. Does any one know how many towers are in the miami westbpalm market

Yea its weird. I live in west boca an I have not seen anything. Its prob gonna be a while be for lte comes to boca thats what im just going to assume. Look around ur area an see if u can find something like new pannels. I see on sensorly new spots in delray boynton an west palm. I assume there going to work there 1st an then come down to boca.

I got a permit an took a screen shot of it. Its for boca raton from august an it says replace attenas an cabinets on existing tower. Its the one in the middle. I think there is more but im going thru like 400 permits lol

There is like 7-10 within 4 miles of where I am. I am between 2 of them an they are less then a half a mile from each other which is good in my case. But I drive by some of them an have not seen any work done on them which got me concerned that my city will be last maybe

I understand what you are saying. Im glad work has started In my market im just puzzled why my city has not had work done thats all. I dont mean to put negative comments on here. Just looking for a answer

There upgrading delray an west palm an boynton beach

I know dude. I dont think boca will get 4g until mid next year

I live in boca an I see boca has been delayed like a mofo. Its retarded how we been delayed so much

U got 4g in boca where?

Thanks robert. Well at one site the pannels have been missing for I think close to two weeks now. So I doubt thats sprint pulled them off

I looked at sensorly an I see a light dot in homestead

Also I drove by one tower in boca an it was by a school an I noticed 4 or 5 pannels missing so this is the second tower that I noticed missing pannels. Is it common for them to take pannels down an replace them at a later date? Also u went to pompano an picked up some more 4g an noticed that the tower I was next to had 2 rru's per pannel. Is that standard or is that advanced lte

Thanks robert. Where he picked up 4g is sorta near boca. I did sone mapping out there I got some nice speeds. Hope to see some lte show up in boca soon but I have my doubts

Where do I type in the cordinates from his speed test

Where in boca

I live in west boca an im between 2 towers on 441 and I been going by other towers an I havent seen any work done. I dont think work started in boca yet

I got lte from sprint in delray an I got up to 35 mbps. My friend has metro an his max is 8-15. I think sprints will be faster cause they are doing over there infrastructure. An in boca it will be fast(when it gets hear) cause it is not heavily populated

Metro throttles 4g lte. So they may have good coverage but its useless if u get throttled
