Reply With QuoteI don't know where to find records for this city on new tower permits, but I've counted 8 new AT&T towers erected in the last 30 days, just in the small area of OKC that I stomp around in.

Noticed 4 new towers just on my commute to work today. They're all definitely AT&T. Their antenna setup here is very recognizable. Anyway, being an LTE area, I've noticed the new towers all have an empty spot on each sector where the LTE antenna would go. I'm sure they're still working on them. That said, while the 5x5 LTE network here performs well considering the small spectrum slice, the HSPA network seems to be quite poor.
How can I find out of AT&T is using 850/1900/both for their HSPA+ network here? In-building coverage seems to be really bad, which is why I'm curious. It's nice to see AT&T filling in the area with more towers. On a friend's international galaxy note today at the office, he got no more than 200kbps download with full HSPA+ signal strength. The latency was through the roof. He's been seeing speeds of no more than 1mbps most everywhere in the city. Similar results from friends with other devices. Hopefully AT&T will start adding more channels to their towers around here instead of just putting up new sites.

Be nice if AT&T actually keeps their promise to convert their remaining EDGE to at least basic 3G. Pioneer is going to kill them in NW OK, putting LTE everywhere while AT&T still only has EDGE out there.

It doesn't appear that they are doing much at all outside of OKC.Originally Posted by ggore

A new site in Broken Arrow and backhaul upgrades in process all over. Things are in motion there.

They have 850mhz license there and in majority of OK so they should be using it. To really know what your phone is on, need to look at engineering menu depending on the phone.
In building coverage being bad...you are either on 1900mhz at the time or their cell density isn't high enough hence adding sites.

They're only upgrading existing 3G/UMTS sites to HSPA/EB, not upgrading any of the EDGE areas at all, or only 1 or 2 sites a month but not every month. That's excepting Tulsa, surely they are about to launch LTE there since Verizon has had it going there for a year or two now.

don't go by permits. they will get permits left and right. only the networking team knows what capital outlays have been appropriated to building the actual sites that will be activated.
