Whose system is this? It doesn't have power yet because it didn't pass inspection. No fence around it either. The system is set up on a water tower. Is there any way to look at fcc to find out? I get good service at the site but I guess that doesn't mean much. I just was curious cause the system was so tiny.
no idea but how would anyone know ? could be anyone's
Its sprints.... lol searched the name on the box. That company only provides wimax 4g systems so...
Its a 4G antena setup. Wiki the company. Its a company similar to Clear with the production of WiMAX and TD-LTE networks. Its a toss up if its for Sprint customers or not. Unless theyve been contracted by Clear to provide WiMAX. Which I have not heard of. The systems are WiMAX and LTE backward compatible. Could it be Sprint's already testing backwards compat LTE and WiMAX or better yet providing both antena? This is an interesting find!
On the other hand, the company also produces GSM products so it might be AT&T's new LTE network.

On their website it doesn't look like they provide any lte solutions currently.
Just because the company specializes in WiMAX doesnt mean its automatically Sprint's. The city or town could be also contracting them out to provide a WiFi network for its residents. Small towns usually do this method if theyre not very well integrated with the cable networks.

Alvarion is a WiMax competitor to Clearwire/Sprint. Both Alvarion and Airspan sold WiMax subscriptions before Clearwire.

So then am I wrong to assume its anything but Sprints?

Based off what the internet has to say, Alvarion and Clear/Sprint are not providing WiMax service together.

Cool find though
I just went back by and there are trucks there with a 4s on them. I will stop and chat with them. I'm sure they will tell me who they are contracting for. And maybe they have nothing to do with that site. Can u search fcc licensing with an intersection? I'm in Greeville Oh.
Japan’s Softbank Angling to Buy Sprint — and Maybe Clearwire, Too

The transaction is expected to close in mid-2013, subject to a meeting of Sprint shareholders, and the usual FCC and antitrust approval, as well as SoftBank's ability to secure financing. In the event that it can't raise the necessary cash or if Sprint gets a better offer, the Japanese carrier will have to cough up $600 million in termination fees. Likewise, Sprint will have to pay $75 million if its shareholders don't approve the transaction.

So that would mean T-Mobile would focus on big cities such as New York, Chicago, etc. Unfortunately for the op he might not be in a heavily populated area.

Winning. I was able to get an Advanced Tech support rep to admit they were wrong. She walked me through rooting my phone and voiding my warranty to freeze Carrier IQ. She then added insurance to my account free of charge and gave me a credit for $150 on my account to cover the insurance deductible if needed in the future. Attached is proof.
This has turned into a full on assault toward AT&T. Here is the link to file a complaint to the FCC. I have submitted my contract, the details page about the lg g2 from AT&T's website neither which states that carrier IQ or any other software is installed to monitor location or network data. Also attach was a chat log with an AT&T rep who admitted openly that it was not in my contract or listed anywhere that carrier IQ would be installed on our devices.I have also Filed a small claims complaint in with my local court which has a 500$ maximum claim amount. I am seeking the max with the reasoning that the only way to not be affected is to buy another phone.I expect AT&T to be a no show. Please unite and file an fcc complaint for concealing software capable of providing your location without consent.

LG. I must say since I picked up the g2 life has been great. I have but one issue with my phone and I am on my knees begging you for help. My troubles all began when I powered on my at&t branded device. I struggled with a very annoying wake lock that would randomly deplete my battery. I have traced the culprit which I have found to be carrier iq also known as ciq. I understand this spyware was installed at the request of my carrier so they can track usage data and trouble shoot network issues. I just feel lg should allow customers to have the ability to opt out or disable this software. Did you know that if I have network location set to off carrier iq will turn on my GPS to obtain my location. Now imagine this, you work in a secure facility with metal doors and no windows in the basement of a government entity. Your GPS turns on constantly without your control eating away at your battery trying to obtain a location. So I ask you only for this lg. Please work with the American carriers to give your customers the freedom to choose. Isn't it bad enough we have Obama and the NSA spying on us. Sincerly Christopher

I doubt it will do any good but I wanted to share my plea to lg in hopes for an option to disable carrier iq on the US models like AT&T. I know carrier iq Is installed at the request of the carriers but I believe LG will support us if we unite. The voice of one will not be heard. I will be reaching out to lg customers on other devices and carriers far beyond xda. I will keep this post updated with links for Facebook,YouTube and other social networking sites. Please support me as I fight for your freedom to choose weather or not to enable carrier IQ.
I am in the process of creating a Facebook page with the intention of raising awareness for all of the users who have no idea what carrier iq Is.

LG installed ciq at the request of att. Lg is the one who can pressure att to give us the option to disable it like t mobile.
Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Premium HD app
Exactly. They installed it at ATT's behest. They don't install it by default. They installed it because it's part of ATT's custom package they load on top of the LG base.
Like all carriers they install their own custom bloat on top of the base, and that was part of ATT's. They're not going to pressure ATT to remove it because it's ATT's call. T-Mo chose to install it, but give a disable option. It's all controlled by the carriers installation package.
If anything it's ATT who needs to be pressured so the 4.4 build doesn't have it bloated in.

Sorry for the late reply
Per T-mobile:
Settings > Backup & Reset > Collect diagnostics.... then uncheck "allow diagnostics"
BetterBatteryStats recorded carrierIQ as a wakelock, but after doing the above method, that wakelock was no more.
One gripe I have w this phone is the CIQ. They should at least let us have the option to disable it.

Yeah it is. They have effectively made the unlimited plan useless, which is what I think they set out to do, when I'm being capped its something like 50kb/s, and that is just unusable.

The contract terms state quite the opposite, actually:
AT&T may reduce your data throughput speeds at any time or place if your data usage exceeds an applicable, identified usage threshold during any billing cycle. AT&T will provide you with advance notice of the usage threshold applicable to your data plan, or any changes to the applicable usage threshold either by a bill insert, email, text message or other appropriate means
And folks on AT&T aren't "paying" for 4G specifically. For folks where 4G is not even available, they pay the same price for their data plan.
Is this correct ideologically, or even from a logical/common sense standpoint? Its easily arguable that AT&T is in the wrong; and I would agree with you there. AT&T's policy can easily be seen as anti-consumer, and solely in AT&T's own interest.
But are they technically or legally in the right, its pretty debatable either way. AT&T can argue various points, such as the fact that the technology has changed, and the terms can therefore change also. The fact of the matter (in my understanding) is that AT&T, and all the carriers are having trouble keeping up with market demand for bandwidth. Smartphones are getting more and more data hungry, along with the way folks use these devices. The longer terms outlook for the networks to keep up with data demand is not good, to say the least. The carriers are going to be dumping a lot of money to upgrade their networks over the coming years/decades. And that money needs to come form somewhere. Its in the carriers interest to force customers onto tiered plans.
Unfortunately, ;egal action regarding throttling has only met with limited success, from what I can find on Google. One person won a small claims lawsuit and was awarded $850. Probably not an effort that most of us would be interested in pursuing. Class action has only been specific to the iPad 3G (from what I can fine), and won each owner a whopping $40. And class action lawsuit is actually prohibited by the . . . . (wait for it) . . . . present AT&T contract terms (and upheld by the Supreme Court)!
