Is there anymore information on when OKC could begin work on LTE and an educated guess on when it might go live? Any information no matter how small would be appreciated. We were one of the skipped over places for WIMAX. Average speeds here are about 300kbps on Rev A.

 

Everyone here but Sprint has 4G of some kind. at&t and Verizon have LTE and TMO has HSPA+42Mbps but Sprint is my carrier of choice.

 

I could use a little hope and some information that might help me decide if I want to stick it out.

Sprint’s first small cell in Northwest Oklahoma City, using Nokia’s 2.5 GHz mini macro. This pole went up in September, and the equipment was added in late October or early this month.     Sent from

Personally, I would rather have LTE in most places I go, than get stuck on EDGE and GPRS every time I leave the city limits.  Even if that LTE was slower in urban areas.  But Tmo is counting on custom

LTE is live in downtown OKC. I mapped it on Sunday on foot.   http://www.sensorly.com/map/4G/US/USA/Sprint/lte_310sprint#q=200 N harvey oklahoma city

I saw that a while back. It just seems up in the air. Was hoping for something new.

 

We are still early in round 1. If Oklahoma moves up into the end of the second round, it will still be a while before anything starts.

I was thinking we would have lte in Oklahoma by the summer of 2013. Do you guys think that is a good possibility?

 

Likely a partial launch a little sooner than that. But I think thats a good window for the Oklahoma market.

I'd like to be on the lookout for Sprint LTE work. What are the tell tale signs of LTE installation?

I've rummaged around here and elsewhere on the net a bit but still unsure.

Got some info/links handy?

 

Last year I personally jumped ship and have been rocking Verizon LTE in OKC on my HTC Rezound, no regrets there, but still have 5 other Sprint phones on my account. Bought a Motorola Photon Q for the GF so she's ready for some high speed data, and #1 son is eligible for an upgrade tomorrow.

new antennas are the most obvious.

 

As far as NV in oklahoma goes, I really don't think we'll be getting it for a while as NV completion is pretty far behind in most markets. They will need to really step up the pace for us to see any NV in 2013 let alone 2012.

 

The upside is, Sprint appears to be upgrading their back haul on legacy sites here in Tulsa and probably in okc. I still see some sites with below 400k 3G speeds but now there are just as many or more that spit out 1500k+ 3G speeds.

Yes, new antennas would be what to look for.

 

The trick is properly identifying the new Sprint LTE installations and differentiating them from Verizon/AT&T/T-Mobile/etc.

Heck yeah! After hearing about Joplin and this I'm a little excited!

 

I just bought a Galaxy S III so I don't know how long we've had it but here is a roam control screen cap. It flips around from ehrpd to evdo, mostly staying on evdo. I guess some sites are updated while others are not. I had to toggle roam control a couple times to get it.

Anyone know if you can see if your on EHRPD on an EVO 4G (original one). Im not sure if the EHRPD is only on LTE phones, I think it helps switching to/from/between LTE connections, or at least thats one of the things it does.

Only LTE devices can detect and use it.

How did you get to that screen?

 

Sent from Galaxy S3 with Jelly Bean

 

I believe there are other free ways to see it but I used Roam control.

 

*#*#info#*#* or ##info## may have it under phone information

 

A free app "not Roam Control" is a free version of roam control that will display that screen.

Just an FYI... Roam Control kinda bootlegged the way it has to work on the S3. They issue a command that basically tells the phone to only use the 850 band. Since there isn't any Sprint 850 it goes to roam.

Thanks for the heads up.

This came from my home cell site that used to only give me 200~300 kbps. I think sprint must be installing new backhaul in tulsa because I've been getting 1000kbps+ 3G speeds as the norm rather than exception ever since I bought my SGS 3.

Finally seeing it here in Midwest City. Last week on S3 I never got it so this morning tried it on Note 2. Consistent 2.3 down. a2eze6uv.jpg

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      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.

      T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

      By Dkoellerwx · Posted

      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.
