Network Vision/LTE - Jacksonville Market (including Gainesville/St. Augustine/Ocala)

I have an iPhone so I have no way to tell. I still see the same UARFCN 8665 on the field test so I guess not.

I would look more in the city limits for it.

Funny thing is in the areas of FL, where they swapped for the C Block, the spectrum Omega map still shows them as holding the A Block.

I live by the Oaks Mall Terrell. On 62nd Blvd.

That area is terrible for Sprint. NO CAPACITY AT ALL. Hopefully it's coming soon. In Ocala I know Sprint sent the stores surveys about it's network in the area and all the stores really let them have it about how horrible the network was. I believe Sprint has acted on this but it could have been coming either way.

I used to be on Sprint, then went away for a (long) time; now back.  I'm in the northern Orlando suburbs in a hole with no Band 41.  Even Band 25 seems to be just 5mHz wide.  There is a tower 500 yards from me that has B25.  If I go a couple miles in any direction, I get B41.  I'd appreciate any informed speculation on what I might expect from Sprint putting B41 on "my" tower?  Thanks!

Orlando has 15x15 wideband

Not every tower. There are still plenty of 5x5 b25 in Orlando

If it's still 5x5 does that mean thos towers will go 10x10 first then 15x15 later?

I'm going by what my modem (EM7455) reports when on B25.  Never have seen anything but 5mHz.

 

I never had Clearwire, but the representations from the builder of the tower when it went in 9 years ago was that Clearwire was going to have a spot.  If that was the case, is it the natural progression for Sprint to provision old Clearwire 2.5-2.5gHz spectrum to Band 41 2.5-2.7gHz? Or does the fact that it has B25 5×5 suggest it's more likely that the next upgrade will be to take B25 to 10×10 or 15×15 ?

Some of their towers in Orlando have 15x15 it's their first city with it. It's not a matter of if it's more when. Some of towers have both 15x15 B25 and, B41. I was there back in April and, had both at Disney parks.

That's usually how it goes but I have yet to see anymore 10x10 in Orlando. It's 15x15 or 5x5 so it could possibly jump straight to 15x15.

And, is there any past precedent to say if B41 would be added?

That's what annoys me with Sprint att And, VZW would have it done on all towers in a matter of Days. It just requires a software update.

It could be added also.

Nope upgraded backhaul too. But all of it could be done remotely.

Yeah when I was there the towers that have 15x15 didn't seem like they have the proper backhaul cause it was slow.

Yes!!!!!! It's about time! Hopefully my home site near the Oaks Mall has it also.

I was there yesterday and didn't get a single 10x10. Must have been today. It makes a difference.

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). They do have a reserve level. Nationwide 800Mhz is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  T-Mobile did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, FWA Mobile in RVs in Walmart parking lots working where mobile phones need all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71, 90% 5g.  93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77 also with its shorter range.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline June 1 for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio covering 27500-28350Mhz expiring 6/8/2028. No reported sightings.  Buildout notice issue sent by FCC in March 5, 2024 https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/letterPdf/LetterPdfController?licId=4019733&letterVersionId=178&autoLetterId=13060705&letterCode=CR&radioServiceCode=UU&op=LetterPdf&licSide=Y&archive=null&letterTo=L  No soecific permits seen in a quick check of Columbus. They also have an additional 200Mhz covering at 24350-25450 Mhz and 24950-25050Mhz with no buildout date expiring 12/11/2029.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.
