Interesting. I was having some data connection issues where it was timing out for about a week. It's finally back to normal now though... So that's good. Still no complaints with service in Orlando.

60dbm band 4 signal inside of the park don't lie. They have to there is no site that close to provide that kind of signal.

I just wanted to provide an update. Universal has a provider agnostic DAS and I wasn't aware it had been updated for other carriers. I'm guessing that the exclusivity on it must have expired and I wasn't aware. Currently the DAS has AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon on USF, IOA, and CityWalk. T-Mobile is coming next year. I can post details of who runs what on the DAS in the Premier Sponsors section, if anyone is interested.

 

Sorry Terrell for not looking into your observations more closely. Looks like the facts were in my face and I apologize.

Its cool. How did you find out? Do you know where they are located exactly? Why did one have a second carrier and one did not? Will DAS ever inlcude band 41?

Yep, the DAS system at Madison Square Garden and the Barclay's Center have B41 on-air, I think Barclay's even has CA.

Band 41 is all over the state for me.

Just not on I 75 where you are. There was alot of clearwire and sprint B41 second carrier in orlando and tampa.

For the entire state of Florida thats not nearly enough band 41 sites. Thats like 35% of sites in the state. Im not impressed and think nokia is not moving fast enough here. I75 should have had at least a few sites but it barely has any.

That is my scp log sites connected to. It is not all the sites that are live.

 

Nokia needs to get out of Florida and go to SC,Ga,Al, and La. Rural FL does not need to be blanketed by B41 while cities Savanah,Ga have no B41. (that I have connected to.) Tampa, Orlando, and Miami had B41 everywhere I went.(sometimes hard to connect to but still there or very close by logs.) When the second carrier went live in Orlando and Tampa it was hard to disconnect from B41.

 

I don't want people to read your "lack of" post then think there must not be any B41.

Plenty of cities in Florida besides those three with pops as big as Savanah Ga with no band 41 that is in dire need of it. Gainesville is definitely one of them. Go to a gator game or the mall and Sprint is 100% shut down. They should be in Savanah though. Point is nokia is moving slower than expected. I went to Tampa and I don't know where you went but while they did have band 41 you really have to be in the main downtown part to get it. The density was not as good as Orlando and tmobile and Verizon still destroyed Sprint in speed test consistency in most situations in Tampa. In Orlando Sprint was awesome though. They definitely have it good.

Only Tallahasse is bigger without B41 but it has been a long time since I have been there 1 year+. All the other bigger cities have a taste of B41.

And Penn State should have LTE any band. WVU (Morgantown)just had LTE turned on not sure if it reaches the stadium though. That is why most stadiums should have wifi.

If you had someone to help Kris with spreadsheets you would have a better idea where B41 is. Instead of B41 doesn't reach me so it's not installed at the tower.

I can spot a band 41 tower from a mile away just by equipment and it is not a prevailent as you think. The part thats exciting is if at least 70% of sites had it they would be amazing.

It's not so much that Nokia is slow. It's more that they are working at the sites as prioritized by Marcelo. He has decided Gainesville and Ocala are lower priorities. Stop smearing Nokia and start tweeting Marcelo. He's the only one who controls your B41 destiny.

Might have to do that. The other networks have the whole nine yards in more cities in Florida including CA(At&t &Tmobile) Verizon has 20*20 band 4 and even a few band 2 sitings, while Sprint is still band 25/26. Im not saying Ocala and Gainesville should be ultra priority but there are some sites bascially useless and they should not just be siting back letting that happen. As it stands right now the other networks have 2x3 times more capacity and the difference is very noticeable. Its seems like that in a lot of places I go. St Augustine, Ocala, Gainesville, Spring Hill, Tallahassee, Panama City, Seista Key. They all behave similar in the congested areas. I-75 is lacking also. Idk I just don't see amazing progress with nokia. Almost wish Ericson used there own band 41 equipment since every new site probably would have been band 41.

Stop complaining about Nokia here and tweet to marcelo to increase capacity in your little corner of the US.

 

Also wishing Ericsson did the band 41 equipment and deployment? Bleh. There's a reason they were not selected and Nokia was. Nokia can deliver and does their work correctly (see tmobile) with far superior band 41 equipment. Ericsson didn't even have working 8t8r band 41 technology til early 2015. Nokia and the rest had it since the China Mobile deployments in 2012-2013.

Why didn't they choose nokia from the beginning? Uniform equipment is surely better than relying on two different providers.

Nokias CDMA portfolio is terrible compared to Ericsson who holds a ton of CDMA IP.

Given approval of the Nokia acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, Nokia will own all that portfolio. Eventually this becomes a moot point. But at the time, Sprint made the decision they felt was best.

At the tampa airport. I must say the force is strong with the network. Inside 102 dbm band 41 Clearwire with CA. 13-19 mbps down and 2 up without CA and 34-40 mbps down and 2.5 up with CA enabled. Either way its plenty fast.

There's Clearwire CA? Thought it was limited to just the Nokia panels/base stations.

    • 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 specific 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.
