WIND Mobile Tower Map

I know that on the Testing screen, it always either says UMTS:3 or HSDPA:9, never anything else.

I don't think the Android OS is designed in the first place to distinguish properly between levels of HSPA.

Mine says HSPA:11 on G2x with Mobilicity.

That's still HSPA and not HSPA+, which would be 15.

How accurate is Wind normally with its tower mapping versus its reporting to Industry Canada?

I found what appears to be an as-yet-unfinished cell tower, waiting for antennas to be mounted, a week or so ago and was hoping that it was a Mobi tower (as basically every other telco has a tower listed in the general vicinity). However, it seems to be positioned in the exact spot of Wind tower ("ACA0044-Calgary AB 930 64th Ave NE") which has been listed on Loxcel already in its March 2011 report. A year seems like a very long time to have a tower announced but not yet in operation.

I thought LTE starts from 14

The numbers have no meaning. They're just unique identifiers. LTE is 13. eHRPD is 14.

8800 Duffrine St which is mapped as the new tower place is still not done.. in fact no work has started yet and it was reported on this forum 1.5 months ago..

I've noticed that the Feed on WIND's website likes to anticipate when towers come on.
Usually a few days before they're working properly.

So remember, (And I can't even say how many times canadiancow has said this) the tower map is not an accurate representation on when a tower will turn on. It could be today, tomorrow, 5 weeks, 5 months, or even 5 months ago. The tower map simply acknowledges that someone filed that tower under globalive (and what ever other descriptors needed).

The last cell site they activated in Vancouver came online a few days before they announced it.

Hello again.

The Loxcel celltower map has been updated for April.

We got a new entrant this month: SOGETEL MOBILITE with 30+ cell sites.

If you have any comments / feature requests, please contact me directly and I'll see what I can do.

A few new sites to report for today:

VICTORIA,BC-1035 BELMONT-BVI0021 SD Apr. 2
WINDSOR (1225 RIVERSIDE DR W) ON SD Apr. 2
WINDSOR (150 PARK ST W) ON SD Apr. 2
WINDSOR (1333 OUELLETTE AVENUE) SD Apr. 2
WINDSOR (120 CARON STREET) ON SD Apr. 2
WINDSOR (1989 WYANDOTTE ST W) ON SD Apr. 2
WINDSOR (277 RIVERSIDE DR W) ON SD Apr. 2

As well just thought I would mention that I've updated the backend of my site. Previously I was having issues where 'New towers' were being reported that were previously reported and I was having to manually clean this up. This should now be solved, so if you notice any anomalies please let me know.

Today looks like Wind is expanding in the north London area.

photo 1 Adelaide st. north of 10 mile rd.

photo 2 Fanshawe at Hyde Park rd.

First one doesn't look to be a traditional WIND tower as they like to build the "pole" towers as seen in the second photo.

I've noticed that they prefer to build straight towers (instead of angled to a point, like in that pic) to save more space and money.

Although it is still possible that they would build that, I don't see a reason for building far out there yet.

Also gives you insight into how late or early tower reporting can be.

Interesting info.

Second one definitely looks like Wind.

Second one definitely looks like Wind.

A defining factor is that WIND puts its antennas much lower. Very rarely at the top of a tall tower.
