S4GRU Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Not yet. Not scheduled to start until 2013. Unless they start ahead of schedule. Which has happened in a couple of markets. Robert via Nexus 7 using Forum Runner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert via Nexus 7 using Forum Runner beginning 2013 or Mid Dec 2012, cause i see some activity speed wise going on in some area's where 3G was like 59Kb/s now its like 700Kb/s now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are shown at network.sprint.com. They are not associated with Network Vision or LTE. Robert via Nexus 7 using Forum Runner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A454nova Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Its still just a Vision there. almost... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtualbot Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 to be specific on location Im talking about Hawaii,Maui not Hawaii,Honolulu If it's Maui, then probably going to be [well] after a Oahu launch since more people/demand. Kahului/Wailuku, Kihei, and Lahaina will probably launch first just like they did with Wimax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjcc Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 Does this tower got any new Panels like Network vision its near my area and it looks way different compared to this tower here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkoellerwx Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Nope, the difference is one tower is solely Sprint, the other has every other carrier and then some on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjcc Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 Nope, the difference is one tower is solely Sprint, the other has every other carrier and then some on it. The little one or the huge one. And i did not know Multipul carriers could host their spectrum on 1 tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkoellerwx Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 The little one or the huge one. And i did not know Multipul carriers could host their spectrum on 1 tower. The little one is Sprint, the large one has multiple carriers. Many many many towers, in fact most have more than one carrier on them.

markjcc Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 T-Mobile is building a tower near my location anyway to report sprint about the tower and they could possibly lease it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjcc Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 What? Like you can give an idea to sprint where a location for a tower could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilotimz Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Like you can give an idea to sprint where a location for a tower could be. Absolutely not. These things are preplanned and scrutinized by dozens if not hundreds of professionals who take into account the local geography, penetration requirements due to buildings etc, local ordnances and rules regarding towers (pita in a lot of areas), etc etc. If they need a tower then they'll get one. Plus sprint has nor tmobile owns no towers. They sold them long ago (tmobile sold em about a month or two ago) and lease it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjcc Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Asked around the sprint forum they have so plans/idea's for LTE In hawaii yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Asked around the sprint forum they have so plans/idea's for LTE In hawaii yet. I assume "so" was supposed to be "no." Don't you know all other forums/sites get their Network Vision info from us? Robert via Samsung Note II using Forum Runner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjcc Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 I assume "so" was supposed to be "no." Don't you know all other forums/sites get their Network Vision info from us? Robert via Samsung Note II using Forum Runner just called the local sprint store and they said they got a rumor that LTE and Network Vision should start in Summer and may be earlier. 4 Employees said this already Summer is on Friday, 21 June 2013 236 days, 20 hours remain till Summer (Maybe LTE) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjcc Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 I know this may be weird with the tsunami going on yesterday but Data Speeds are VERY fast during emergencies... not sure if Sprint ups the QoS or what ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawaiiD Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Aloha Robert I just wanted to know if there's any updates regarding the Honolulu market? Specifically... is Sprint still on track to start construction starting on February 2013? I believe that was the date you told me couple of months back? Thanks for any information!
