iansltx Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I know Sprint is the only carrier where we have (to my knowledge) information about which vendor is handling what part of their network, but I'm curious as to whether Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile have similarly regionalized their next-gen network deployments. For reference, here's who's building out networks for the Big Four, plus C-Spire and MetroPCS (since we now who they're using to roll out LTE): Verizon - Ericsson, AlcaLu, NSN AT&T - Ericsson, AlcaLu Sprint - Ericsson, AlcaLu, Samsung T-Mobile - Ericsson, NSN MetroPCS - Ericsson, Samsung C-Spire - AlcaLu AlcaLu = Alcatel-Lucent NSN = Nokia Siemens Networks ...and yes, Ericsson is really busy rolling out LTE, it seems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irev210 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I thought Verizon's LTE network used Ericsson and AlcaLu tower equipment, not NSN. NSN was just providing core/switching components. Did I have that wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
