Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS
PedroDaGr8 replied to RedSpark's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
This is one of the first times I have seen them explicitly mentioning 24GHz deployment. -
From what I understand, this has been true for a bunch of the 5G phones per the start of 2021H2
-
T-mobile lists the bands as follows: GSM: 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz; LTE: 2, 4, 5, 12, 46, 48, 66, 71; LTE Roaming: 1, 3, 7, 8, 13, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 38, 39, 40, 41; UMTS: Band I (2100), Band II (1900), Band IV (1700/2100), Band V (850); 5G: n5, n25, n41, n66, n71, n260, n261 I have also heard that the bands you mention will roll out as a software update because they just got FCC approval.

Same here, I was quite surprised. The value for my N20U was double the Swappa value.

Trade-in offers will not show until the device is paid off. My N20U is fully paid off and my offer for the S22U is $8ish per month.

Network Vision/LTE - West Washington Market (Seattle/Puget Sound Region)
PedroDaGr8 replied to drlovety's topic in Markets
Also, the tower at NE 116th in. Kirkland just got the full suite of upgrades. The addition of B71/n71 and n41 should dramatically improve coverage/performance in the Forbes Creek area.- 1,715 replies

Network Vision/LTE - West Washington Market (Seattle/Puget Sound Region)
PedroDaGr8 replied to drlovety's topic in Markets
That's a great question, hopefully Rev can chime in. Also, the permit for the Motel 6 in Totem Lake just got approved last week. Looks like they are pushing ahead with the full B2/B12/B41/N41/B66/B71/N71 upgrade: http://permits.kirklandwa.gov/WebDocs/2020121224/1d9365f9-f6c7-4c3d-9e87-8e14d89ef198.pdf Interesting that this one has no mention of n2 or n66 in the configuration frequency map.- 1,715 replies

Huh, interesting. Never expected to be a first in something like that. Someone in Michigan mapped a bunch of n78 but nothing else. I guess I'm the first showing they are at least broadcasting n2/n5/n66-SA, even if you can't fully connect to it.
-
You were damn fast, I had just got home and went to go map them and boom they were almost all done.
-
Yep it does!
-
That's so strange, the N20U got it a week or so ago.
-
Not sure if this is on your list but someone at /r/CellMapper indicated the tower at 2080 1st Avenue NY NY 10029 is gig+ https://www.reddit.com/r/cellmapper/comments/s8poyo/n41_speeds_at_home_and_no_ca_isnt_on_not_bad_for/?sort=confidence

I'll try to get some readings tomorrow when I go get my COVID test. Been working from home due to an exposure.
-
Seems to have worked, the bug just got upgraded from P3 priority to P1 (the second highest priority). Per Google, a P1 bug is defined as follows: "An issue that needs to be addressed quickly. Such an issue significantly impacts a large percentage of users; if there is a workaround it is partial or overly painful. The impact of the issue is to a core organizational function, or fundamentally impedes another team."

Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread
PedroDaGr8 replied to Nextel49's topic in T-Mobile Merger/5G NR Deployment
Maybe I didn't explained, we have had B41/n41 for quite a while a well. That being said, my phone would almost never connect to B41 instead preferring B2 or B66. Just in the past couple of days, B41 appears to now have a priority much closer to B2 and B66. -
Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread
PedroDaGr8 replied to Nextel49's topic in T-Mobile Merger/5G NR Deployment
I've noticed my phone connecting to T-Mobile 4G B41 a lot more often the past few days. I wonder if this has anything to do with them really starting to push forward with B41/n41. -
Network Vision/LTE - West Washington Market (Seattle/Puget Sound Region)
PedroDaGr8 replied to drlovety's topic in Markets
That's actually really useful information when trying to locate/map these. On CellMapper, if I look for B46 it cuts through a lot of th noise.- 1,715 replies

Network Vision/LTE - West Washington Market (Seattle/Puget Sound Region)
PedroDaGr8 replied to drlovety's topic in Markets
Breaking this info out from my private messages with RAvirani, so that others can learn about these as well I am almost 100% certain the following eNB are all strand mount gear for T-Mobile: 177502, 177503, 177343, 177344, 178670, 178671, 178673, 178681, 178682, 178683, 178685, 178686, 178687, 178688, 178689, 178690, 178691, 178692 Being stand mount, each cell ID pair (B66/B2) is at a different location. For example, see the following (click on the link to go to Google StreetView): 177502-3/13 (off NE 45th St)177502-6/16 (South one on 25th St.)177502-7/17 (North one on 25th St.)177503-1/11 (South one on 25th St.)177503-2/12 (North one on 25th St.) For each of the above eNB I was able to locate the strand mount equipment for at least one of the sectors. I have a feeling the missing eNB (178674-178680 and 178684) are there but have just not been scanned yet. Furthermore these strand mount eNB can be spread over a wide area having up to 9 different locations (limit based on number of Cell ID pairs and fact that T-Mobile doesn't seem to use Cell ID 0 for these). 7-9 locations does appear to be common but I'm not sure if it is the norm.- 1,715 replies

Network Vision/LTE - West Washington Market (Seattle/Puget Sound Region)
PedroDaGr8 replied to drlovety's topic in Markets
When I drove by the 5/405 interchange today, they had started upgrading this tower. There was a crane and workers on the Sprint rack. It looked like all of the Sprint equipment had been removed from the rack.- 1,715 replies

While you are fixing that, LTE site logs still only export in hexadecimal irrespective of the setting in preferences.
-
FYI, when I exported site logs it still has the old NCI format.
-
Ouch, if true, that means that SCP isn't calculating the gNB correctly for T-Mobile either. So all of the gNB online are incorrect. For example the Woodinvile Warehouse Site would have a gNB of 1864948 rather than 3729896.
-
That 1024 number would be in line with 26-bits for the gNB. 10-bits = 1023 which including 0 equals 1024.
-
Not as a neighboring cell, the information fully populates in SignalCheck (see image below), I just don't have a data connection. Furthermore, despite driving around for a while and seeing multiple n5-SA cells, nothing is available for upload Also, I'm still investigating the gNB. I thought all the Cell IDs for SignalCheck we're consistent: 1049/1073/1097 for n5-SA, 1050/1074/1098 for n2-SA, and 1051/1075/1099 for n66-SA. Said above image also shows a two digit Cell ID. It appears this is also a set 25/49/73 which are n5-SA. If it helps, device is a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra running Android 11 (Nov. Security). I sent you a diagnostic report a week or so ago while seeing an AT&T cell. Edit: So I ran some calculations and it appears that CellMapper is using 24-bit gNB for AT&T, while SignalCheck is using a 25-bit gNB. Not sure which is correct yet since I can't find a screen to show me said info (my radio data doesn't populate since switching to a TMo sim). Edit2: Actually, using more NCI data from CellMapper, I think both SignalCheck and CellMapper are calculating gNB wrong. Based on the NCIs I have access to, if you use 26-29bits to calculate the gNB then you get a very consistent pattern for the Cell IDs: n5: 25/49/73 n2: 26/50/74 n66: 27/51/75 n78: 28/52/76
-
There's no failure or error. Based on my testing today it appears that it never records the cells. I tested it today while driving around and despite seeing a dozen cells, nothing was recorded.
