  1. On small cells in our area, I am excited that so many of our local areas have taken the initiative to get ahead of the curve; allowing for greater wireless access into areas that are very underserved for broadband. As stated above, many areas are spread out and have pockets of dense population separated by sparse coverage. This is exciting to myself because this answers my questions about rural investment in capacity, if small cells were going to be a part of expanding coverage and access, completing and executing in areas frequently considered a poor ROI, and allowing all that spectrum to get out of the warehouse. It is amusing reading about all the progress we are making early, while so many places are arguing aesthetics and other excuses.
  2. http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/news/local/2016/11/28/awarding-colburn-pool-bids-liquor-ban-agenda/94292924/ Hey folks, saw this nugget today. Tucked in at the bottom under; Other noteworthy issues: Looks like all 26 made it to the regulatory organ. Nifty.
  3. Hey folks, saw this just a minute ago. Maybe related to what the observant user up top discovered and the ensuing channel moveage and findetry discussion. Not being local I checked le map and, as I assume you know is in Manhattan. What a rollout, small cells and then aggregation. Great times to be a Sprint user in the area. Hope this helps. Have a great night everyone. https://twitter.com/AdrienneNort/status/801501767443873799
  4. Yiissssssss! It's happening. I read Aiken passed second reading of Mobilitie becoming a telecom provider in the city. Looks like your area is getting some attention. North Myrtle just signed a 25 year contract with them as well. I have been tracking the permitting across our state and this has happened quite efficiently, I have to say. If this is as wide spread as it is starting out to be we will have a great network inside the native footprint. We have a lot of rural area here in SC, I was curious the effect and depth of a small cell rollout given the high frequencies and displacement of the population. It seems to be coming along just fine. Considering we were passed for a wide scale band 41 deployment on macro sites for larger markets, I can take this as a solution to capacity if they complete this with deep density, not say place one where an actual macro should go and skip the rest of that localized cell. That does not appear to be the case so far. I am really looking forward to following this deployment. Thanks for keeping tabs in your area and sharing, keep up the good work folks.
  5. Great find! Let us know if you get service or can identify them. I have seen permitting begin just recently; this would be fast. Awesome work getting these.
  6. I noticed some recent transactionary happenings in 2.5GHz licenses in my area on the FCC ULS. I saw a public notice statement a month or two ago mentioning Softbank taking ownership and such of some assets. Some titles changing, one mentioned being offlined to non use, some seemed to change hands to a new company. I watched some folks take down our last substantial service site today. I figured I would check back to see if I could choke any insight into Sprint's plans here for L2.5 between the ULS being the ULS, and my general hopeclickery I find something I can decipher that is at all useful. I found this dood. https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/attachments/attachmentViewRD.jsp;ATTACHMENTS=fNL8YZmp5gQJsGB0jGy2nYcCTqLyCq7vw6CQJdnTQCGYLWfmrTpR!1280695207!424252393?applType=search&fileKey=1177100813&attachmentKey=20030205&attachmentInd=applAttach Looking it over seems to be a list of call signs for some of the licenses being transferred to licenseCo. I dropped this here so someone better at this than I can see if it is bureaucracy in action, if nothing of value was had, or cool stuff.

  7. It could be location and the usual variables such as distance, fade. I agree it is getting or is full here as well. We get some help with COW's in the summer, we even had a band 41 COW for about 3 weeks. The optometrist in me wants to see 20/20*. The optimist in me wants to say it was testing for 20 days*. The engineer in me wants to see 20+20MHz Those speeds seem pretty usable though. Band 26 here is full about any given time, so treasure those speeds. We also lost our WiMAX site today. Maybe we will get something online soon for band 41 since they are for license protection, ya know, use it or lose it. Keep an eye out in your area and thanks for contributing. Were you able to confirm band 41 there yet? *I have no training as an optometrist or optimist.
  8. That may be a nod to the 803s reception I suppose. I did not get the best reception either, stock. What is signal like on a handset? Are you line of sight from your macro? It seems this thing just has rough stock antennae. I ran two separate antennae, one to each input over about 50 feet of LMR 400. The antennas have about a -10dBm gain. I stand at about -102 rsrp on average. Pings are about 60ms, I get 5 down during the day, up to 12 at night. 2 up 24/7. I ordered some cheap amps from Hong Kong to tinker with, it is passive now and does ok. This was the only A/C option so I had to go with it for fail over.
  9. Decent! Are you folks seeing L2500 yet? No band 41 at the beach yet. Maybe wider band 25 channels if not. Great results.
  10. I built an antenna system in my attic that I attached to this puppy. It is very functional if able to get a decent signal. I live in semi rural South Carolina, which has a fairly bare network. I have comparable pings and throughput to having an 'outdoors' signal. I have a pretty rough site local to me. It is single band LTE, and evdo is no better than before NV. I just had to get creative against adverse signal fade conditions; coming from a single input site, a light forest in between us, and what I suspect is sector overlap. Sorry it is not working out for you. I was hoping a predecessor or refresh would come along that had improvements. It does have some faults. Try band selection and make sure to use the debug screen to read signal levels. I did this from a mobile device while tuning the antennas I built. It is much more accurate then signal bars. Hope this helps.

  12. The network is loaded beach side. Traffic was heavy yesterday on the way out. Today a bit less as I believe any few remaining tourists have left. Word is Charleston is packed all the way out since the order was given to leave. Our county is tomorrow afternoon, I am flying out to catch a metal show. My partner has the week off due to H. Mathew and is staying home, inland. We haven't seen much in preparation here by cellcos yet, but it is a day or two out and they usually will not deploy unless network damage is predicted/happens or until public safety asks for assistance.

  18. Maybe something in the merger stipulations relates this to some fiscal yearetry vs the standard timeline the rest of us non corporations operate on. Great news.
  19. Was Anderson not the lone SC band 41 tower outside of the CLT south market? I seem to remember there being one site on the map that was confirmed from sources; it stood out for sure.
