Destroyallcubes Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Does that mean a shut down of all wimax broadcast? Even protection sites? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuhfhrh Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Does that mean a shut down of all wimax broadcast? Even protection sites? Maybe all protection sites will be converted to full build. I don't see why not if they have to broadcast 2500MHz at them anyway. If they don't allow consumers to use wimax, wouldn't that mean they'd have to be upgraded to LTE? Do consumers have to be able to use the spectrum in order to satisfy the build out requirements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Protection sites will likely be broadcasting LTE by next November. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuhfhrh Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Protection sites will likely be broadcasting LTE by next November. LTE only or full builds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 LTE only or full builds? Well, in the schedule so far, it is only showing B41 dates. So we don't know to interpret that to include a full Network Vision conversion, just an 8T8R conversion or even just turning on the B41 LTE on a WiMax Dual Mode station. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have two sites out of three here. So my guess they will maybe throw old dual mode RRUs on those panels, and just turn on LTE, or make them full builds.

So, it could be possible, that all the ones schedules so far to date are on Dual Mode Equipment sites. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnwk Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 "Available of no or low cost comparable device". Does it mean those user can switch to LTE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuhfhrh Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 "Available of no or low cost comparable device". Does it mean those user can switch to LTE? It probably means a free refurbished EVO LTE/Galaxy Nexus on a two year contract or something lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavendano Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 It probably means a free refurbished EVO LTE/Galaxy Nexus on a two year contract or something lol actually last time they gave iPhones for like 99 cents or something along those lines. This was for iDen to CDMA migrations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilotimz Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 They'll probably give out midrange spark devices that will be part of the same lineage as the Sharp Aquos Crystal to increase triband adoption in the budget range of $100-300. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vette Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Yeah I highly doubt they'll hand out single band LTE devices. Increasing 1900 LTE congestion even more isn't a very good idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 They will only use Triband devices. Sprint wants as many people as possible on Triband. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickel Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I hope we have as much fun with the WiMAX shutdown as we did with iDEN. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiWavelength Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I hope we have as much fun with the WiMAX shutdown as we did with iDEN. Not so much. iDEN deserved to die. WiMAX deserved a chance that it never really received. AJ 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdk Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Not so much. iDEN deserved to die. WiMAX deserved a chance that it never really received. AJ Possibly, but that ship has apparently sailed. So we might as well have fun with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
