lilotimz Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Huawei DBS 3900 TD-LTE / Wimax eRAN Equipment The following photographs are pictures of Huawei dual mode capable Wimax / TD-LTE RRU (remote radio units) as part of a DBS 3900 series setup. These equipment were originally made for the Clearwire Wimax deployment and are now being re-purposed via software upgrades to enable TD-LTE capabilities. The Huawei equipment currently used by Clearwire are temporary and will be replaced by one of the TD-LTE vendors (Samsung / Alcatel-lucent / Nokia Solutions & Networks ) in the near future. As of 2017, all Huawei equipment has been decommissioned.

Nickel Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Wait so Huawei has dual mode WiMAX/TD-LTE too? Have other vendors (besides Samsung) started making dual mode WiMAX/TD-LTE equipment too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dave Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I was under the impression that it was all going to be dual mode since they don't plan to decommission WiMAX for another couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COZisBack Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I think this is what we have here in Columbus. I haven't seen Samsung equipment like I thought I would since we're a Samsung NV market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdk Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I think this is what we have here in Columbus. I haven't seen Samsung equipment like I thought I would since we're a Samsung NV market. I would guess Clearwire had already ordered (and probably installed most of) these prior to the merger going through. The fact that it is just a software update to use it as dual mode would suggest they will leave it in place as long as they can. The new dual mode Samsung equipment is probably heading first to older clear sites that can't be upgraded by software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdk Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I think this is what we have here in Columbus. I haven't seen Samsung equipment like I thought I would since we're a Samsung NV market. Are we sure that Sprint has signed agreements for the network wide deployment of 2500/2600 TD-LTE? It is conceivable that the vendors might win contracts for different areas for NV 2.0 than NV 1.0.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My original thought was that since Columbus Sprint NV is Samsung that Clearwire may have went the same route initially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardXy Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Doesn't the Huawei equipment need to be torn out and replaced in order to comply with the conditions of the Softbank purchase of Sprint? How soon does that need to happen? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would certainly make it easier for everyone if that is the case. I guess we will see a pattern as they roll out the equipment, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jthawks Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Hey I was wondering why Sprint will keep using microwave backhaul on clear sites and go to fiber on Sprint sites? I'm assuming it's a cost thing and why Fix something that isn't broke right? I'm assuming the microwave way is still very efficient back haul?. Thanks.

They are upgrading the microwave in many instances. It's a case by case basis depending on capability/demand. Robert 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jthawks Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Oh I see. Are microwaves just has good as fiber? Why would Sprint not use microwaves on Sprint towers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
