Re: TELUS LTE/HSPA Expansion said by Gone:Either way, is that LTE location in Owen Sound the same location where you shared pictures of the antennas being installed?
No. The TELUS tower is way out on the edge of the city. And OS, Sauble and Goderich are the only lit LTE sites in Grey, Bruce and Huron counties. That's a lot of real estate.

Some of the outlying areas may need to wait for 700MHz to get solid reliable coverage, but you'll see a lot more LTE lit up in AWS sooner than you think. |

| said by DKS:Oh? Here are more TELUS light ups. Note they are NOT LTE. And the TELUS coverage maps aren't yet updated with this coverage. All of those areas are most likely already covered with 800MHz HSPA, which is Bell's network but Telus uses as a home network as part of the mutual roaming agreement with Telus' 800MHz HSPA in Western Canada.
Those specific towers that are going up are probably Telus 1900MHz cell sites, and are not shared with Bell and aren't even necessarily co-located. The 1900MHz networks (and LTE networks) are completely separate as Telus does not have any 800MHz spectrum in Ontario. The reason Telus is building out is probably for no reason other than to get the backhaul in place to eventually light up LTE on them, as the performance and propagation characteristics between 1900MHz HSPA and LTE on AWS are similar.
Seriously, you'll get LTE up that way before Jesus comes back - or, at the very least, during your lifetime despite already being older than dirt and walking the Earth while dinosaurs roamed.  |

kudos:4 | That looks like Bell 800MHz equipment, not Telus. Telus probably just roams on it as if it were home.
If it were actual Telus equipment it would be 1900MHz and the antennas would be smaller and lower to the ground. |

Bell shows 800, 1900 and 2100 Mhz antennas on that tower. Telus also uses that tower, confirmed by a Telus technician. I had a fascinating discussion with him about why Bell had a better signal than Telus at my cottage at Sauble. That being said, I am getting 2.02 Mbps down, 0.80 Mbps up and 78 ms ping on 3G off that tower using my cellular amplifier/repeater.

kudos:4 | The lower cluster could be 1900MHz antennas, but it's real hard to tell. Those are usually installed quite a bit lower. I'm surprised Bell would have 1900MHz in a rural area, though I suppose capacity could be an issue in the summer up that way. |

That's the Bellus mobile tower. They can set that up anywhere in about 2 days. |

You're just helping "the terrorists" with this sort of posting. Niot at all. Telus pushed this info out to all their subscribers.
