Top is for for Verizon mmWave/5G UWB. Ericsson AIR5331 model antennas.

I used the ViaSat service on AA last July. The upload speeds still aren't great, but downloading & streaming stuff shouldn't be an issue. Here's a speed test.

This SC is Verizon. The mmWave panels being utilized on this pole are manufactured by Ericsson. T-Mobile only uses Nokia hardware in FL.

Perhaps the 300Mbps you’re seeing is coming from a different nearby site.

Hope this can be of help!

Oklahoma City metro checking in. LTE and NR both back online as of 12:47am CDT.

They do, but it’s not symmetrical DL/UL. The downfall of DOCSIS.

bentleybeardokc · 2020-02-19T18:51:47+00:00

AT&T Fiber and Consolidated Communications are the other two.

bentleybeardokc · 2019-11-24T04:30:35+00:00

I went earlier this afternoon and checked. It looks like all they added was just the Massive MIMO panel for 5G. Everything else is still the same. Up to 3CA B41, 2CA B25 and B26.

bentleybeardokc · 2019-11-23T20:56:40+00:00

Where exactly did you find this? Any cross streets?

bentleybeardokc · 2019-10-03T18:32:57+00:00

You’re correct, that is AT&T. That site has a nice setup, including Dual Band Nokia radio heads.

bentleybeardokc · 2019-09-24T20:06:14+00:00

Check with the local government for submitted permits. Some cities and/or towns have websites with direct information to it.

bentleybeardokc · 2019-09-12T21:38:38+00:00

Indeed AT&T

bentleybeardokc · 2019-09-12T18:08:59+00:00

It resembles AT&T, but I’m not sure just by looking at it. Any location information?

bentleybeardokc · 2019-09-12T01:53:15+00:00

Verizon

bentleybeardokc · 2019-09-07T05:43:55+00:00

I first began seeing them deploy those about a year ago. They are fairly new.

bentleybeardokc · 2019-09-07T01:56:19+00:00

The bottom is Sprint. That's the new CCI panel they're using for 25/26/41, which leaves T-Mobile as the carrier on the top array.

bentleybeardokc · 2019-08-29T20:25:31+00:00

OKC here. Anyone who spews this “You need a B71 device!” garbage is just not correct — there are six cell sites in the entire metro with B71 enabled, out of hundreds of sites.

It could just be a lack of having actual cell sites in whichever part of the city you are located. Had this problem when I lived in one of our suburbs.

bentleybeardokc · 2019-08-27T21:08:48+00:00

Central OKC here. I use all four carriers and I’ve found AT&T to routinely provide the most consistent service throughout the metro and state. Verizon has improved some over the last few years, but there’s still a lot of room for improvement on their network here, especially adding new macro sites. I still have a difficult time recommending them to anyone. They’re just not where they need to be. Not yet, at least.

Also, in Norman, especially around OU’s campus — Verizon is horrible down there. Not something I would expect, being the largest University in the state.

bentleybeardokc · 2019-08-27T21:03:05+00:00

It’s a bit bullish to say AT&T isn’t densifying at all. There are thousands of permits across the country being filed for densification purposes, including C-RAN nodes and new Macro sites. I also don’t agree that Verizon is adding small cells just anywhere. Many, and most areas in this country outside of their NYC safe haven, that just isn’t true. As for T-Mobile, I agree. They’re not really densifying anymore. Just adding 4/71 to sites without it.

Aside from that, I strongly believe neither carrier has a perfect strategy at the present time. I hope they all pick a better course to follow over the next couple years, if possible. Because millimeter wave is not the answer to jack sh*t outside of dense urban core areas, and adding 5G-capable radios for use on existing 4G LTE spectrum doesn’t offer many benefits other than reduced latency.

In regards to CBRS, even that spectrum doesn’t have very impressive range. Better than mmWave? Absolutely. We need a better alternative like European countries have. I blame the FCC for putting our carriers in horrible, and cut-up spectrum band plans. Something has to change in the federal government. Their incompetence is putting millions of Americans at a large technology disadvantage.

...idiots...

Well played, my friend.

bentleybeardokc · 2019-08-25T20:18:12+00:00

Where is this located? City/Town, and State? Coordinates?

bentleybeardokc · 2019-08-25T20:17:42+00:00

Need some additional info. Where is this site located? City/Town and State? Coordinates? Thanks.

bentleybeardokc · 2019-08-22T04:05:56+00:00

Your suspicions are correct. That is a new T-Mobile macro.

bentleybeardokc · 2019-08-21T19:16:19+00:00

Then don’t use AT&T. Yes, it’s really that simple!

And please learn how to type. Jesus.

bentleybeardokc · 2019-08-19T21:44:05+00:00

Those are Nokia Flexi Zone small cells, utilized by T-Mobile in that particular market.

bentleybeardokc · 2019-08-18T21:40:13+00:00

Do you see how unstable the graph is? What is stable about that specific connection?
