It would be nice if the third carrier was live in time for the Presidential Inauguration on January 20th, especially given the huge influx of people to the DC Area for it.

 

Curious to hear what Sprint's preparation plans are for it: COWs, etc.

 

Here's what Sprint did back in 2013:

 

Sprint Prepares its Network for 2013 Presidential Inauguration

 

Given the timing of the prior announcement (January 10, 2013), perhaps an update on this will be published in the coming week(s).

I'm sure they will do something yuuugggeeee lol

Well, any announcement Sprint will make, Trump will likely take credit for it. :hee:

Hey I found this map when I was googling about network vision. So this is what the coverage map should look like but for whatever reason don't 100% due to lte coverage on highways in rural areas. 89defd13e28ef96a83d0df6f29409310.jpg

Yeah. That's their voice coverage. Why LTE doesn't match that by now I don't get.

Lol. It would be nice if Sprint was able to activate a third carrier for both the DC area network and push the update for it additional devices (iPhone 7, Samsung Galaxy S7) before January 20th.

 

Sprint's on much more solid network footing now. WiMAX was finally shut down earlier this year and Sprint has been able to swap out the old gear with new LTE equipment.

 

I'm really curious to see what Sprint's "Network" announcement will be for the inauguration. Hopefully a lot of progress has been made on the D.C. network?

I think they are assuming there will be one because of the Inauguration network announcement around the same time four years ago. That said, work on the DC network has pretty much stalled over the past year or so.

This was the Network announcement for the 2013 Presidential Inauguration:

It's interesting to see where the Sprint network was at that point in time. Perhaps a similar announcement will be made in the coming weeks based on prior timing.

Why has it stalled? Money?

 

Two Channel Carrier Aggregation is live here, right?

 

When will it pick up again?

I don't think we'll get that announcement until end of 2017 or early 2018 tbh.

It's at CES. I'm not surprised they are both on the same day.

Does anyone feel like their market is dense enough for sprint to even offer volte without voice quality going down

I don't even know that Vegas is dense enough. Too many coverage gaps at times.

NYC, Northern NJ, Philly, Miami, Chicago. I have hit very little to almost no 3G.

NYC, I can definitely confirm. Yesterday when I went into an underground parking lot my phone stayed on Band 26 and my mother's phone on Verizon dropped down to 3G.

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
