I actually like cdk's suggestion of using a subscript for second carrier, if feasible.  That gets rid of the "squared" implication while still looking elegant, I think.

 

I wonder how well a subscript would display in the notifications shade.  On the other hand, my thoughts are that a plain script "#X" carrier number moniker could display in the notifications bar, too.

We are starting to encounter more and more distinct band 41 TD-LTE 2600 EARFCNs.  Unfortunately, these pop up sporadically in various market threads and do not always come to my attention.  Additional

Second B41 carrier officially live in NYC. UARFCN 41276 opposed to the original 39991 carrier.

I'm seeing the squared on my Verizon daily driver now. Is mikejeep using that to signify 20 MHz on Verizon? Our market went away from second carrier of AWS to a single 20x20 due to the spectrum swap they did with T-Mobile.

You mean in the icon in the notifications bar?  I'm not sure I'm following.

 

I don't like the #X notification because I don't think it will look as nice.  But that's me.

Is this something new?  40072 and 39874 in San Diego.

 

 

 

It's one of those "weird" EARFCN assignments. 

 

39874 corresponds to center frequency 2518.4 MHz. 

40072 corresponds to center frequency 2538.2 MHz

Adding 198 would be 40270 which would be 2558.0 MHz.

Seeding 3xCA?

Part of the earfcn reorganization.

 

2496-2568, 2572-2614, 2618-2690 are the theoretical maximum maximum allocation.

 

2618-2672. 5 is the BRs high portion. 2496-2568 is mostly leased Ebs which is very variable.

 

2572-2614 was really only seen in Columbus who are migrating away to 2618+ for 3 contiguous carrier aggregation.

does new jersey have enough PCS Even with CDMA 2000 to go 10X10

Are they refarming CDMA capacity for lte capacity

Yes there are reports across the country where PCS C block is used with G to create 10mhz LTE carriers.

Got this just south of Nashville. Is this new?attachicon.gif IMG_1350.JPG

It's a 5mh FDD LTE carrier located on center frequency 1933.1 which is the PCS A block.

 

So a 2nd 5mhz b25 carrier.

They are trying to swap with other carriers to create 10x10, 15x15 or even 20x20 adjacent blocks. I wonder if Dish migh e willing to let go of PCS F block for peanuts (which the only things that Sprint can afford nowadays ;))

If you mean the PCS H Block (Dish doesn't own the F Block), it honestly won't help Sprint that much. It's frequencies are not included in Band 25 and Sprint would need yet another boutique band, new equipment and certifications from the FCC and it probably wouldn't really be worth the cost.

PCS H is useless though. Better off swapping with C5

I recall reading AJ's and lilotimz posts on PCS H block's problems. I wonder though if at some point in the future the gubment will decide to consolidate spectrum and offer Sprint/Dish the ability to include H block into b25.

I know it would require new hardware to accommodate the expansion, but since the only real barrier is the politically divvy'd up spectrum (as opposed to the actual physical frequency) - I'd say it would be possible to repack B25 if there was enough motivation.

The government does not decide the bands.

 

An international standard consortium (3GPP) does and you cannot retroactively add stuff. It must be in a new superset band of you want to add compatibility with the PCS A-F blocks.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
