  1. I just learned something new; the existing Samsung 8T8R B41 radios are now 5G NR capable with a software update (40, 50, 60 MHz bandwidths - 40 MHz capability was approved under a subsequent application): https://fccid.io/A3LSLS-BD10JQ/Test-Report/RF-Test-Report-4846240 Since T-Mobile apparently doesn't use Samsung equipment, I'm unsure of the purpose of this modification.
  2. Just saw some guys up on the tower not far from my house. Verizon is located at the top and AT&T is located at the bottom. AT&T just installed new panels and RRUs at the bottom - I'm ready for AT&T LTE to be available! Now, after seeing the work today, I'm wondering whether Sprint will switch on LTE first.
  3. Looks like Sprint has started pulling permits in Arkansas (I'm not 100% sure that the ones pulled in January are Sprint's - there's no contractor/owner name listed; however, the costs match the Sprint permit from February): Edit: I checked both addresses from the January list in Google Maps Street View - both are cell sites. However, there is a possibility that they are AT&T's, as AT&T is building out its LTE network in the same area right now (I was actually trying to locate AT&T permits - most of those have been for $47,000). 5006 West Main: http://bit.ly/ZFcyLE 907 East 3rd: http://bit.ly/13rH4xJ

  5. In recent days, I saw some activity (workers installing new cabinets) at a tower just off I-40 in Pope County, Arkansas; this afternoon, I drove by the tower and saw what appear to be new (Ericsson) NV cabinets installed alongside Sprint's old Nortel cabinets: http://i.imgur.com/ZstTX.jpg The new cabinets are behind the older, bulkier cabinets. Sorry about the angle of the photo. It doesn't appear that work (antennas/RRUs) has started on the tower yet - I'll be watching for those changes.
