Puerto Rico and the USVI should get a significant benefit from Network Vision if the cell site density is truly that low. The addition of 800MHz CDMA will be huge. One good thing is since Nextel never bothered to build out at all in P.R. and the USVI, hopefully that SMR spectrum can be put to full and immediate use and not have to be shared with any iDEN users.

That's a great point. There is nothing stopping Samsung and Sprint from a full 800 deployment now in this market.

In PR don't they use nextel type service i swear i saw some people use them.

I wonder how much of a difference is made in voice coverage between

1xCDMA2000 on 1900 Mhz (what is used currently)

AND

1xA on 800 Mhz with Sprint opting to use the full 70% increased coverage configuration with the same amount of users.

I wish I could see what that map could look like.

I thought that they were going to go with minimum spectrum used instead of max out on coverage configuration since 800MHz already provide a big coverage gain compared to 1900MHz.

What do you mean by using the minimum spectrum? You mean max out on capacity but keep the same coverage at 800 Mhz?

All I want is for my Sprint 3G to be as fast as T-Mobile Edge was in San Diego (it hasn't been for several months). Well, not really, I also want 3G to go at 3G speed, and, well... 4G. I can't believe I gave up T-Mobile for this last March!

This was posted on Android Police about 2 months ago. It looks very promising indeed, lets hope this isn't just computer effects and an actual reality.

York is considered to be in the Central PA area because Philadelphia is about an hour and a half away from here. But we are only about 25 miles south of Harrisburg PA, so hopefully one of your future updates includes the central PA area =)

Artem at Android Police posted that after our article: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-34-new-network-vision-and-lte-deployment-info-released-in-sprint-webinar-today/

I have a really good rapport with Artem. I wouldn't quite say we collaborate, but he retweets our stuff and covers our articles on occasion, and we do the same back.

Oh I had no idea. I didn't discover s4gru until about a month ago and it was EXACTLY what I was looking for.

I would say that you should try to make your website easier through google. Because even with very specific google searches this site is hard to find. I had been looking for any details I could about Network Vision updates for over a year and was only able to find small articles and occasional updates but this website exactly what I was looking for.

I wish I knew what kind of 3G speeds we are going to see with Network Vision tho.

Keep up the great work and keep the updates rolling!

It used to be much easier to find on Google, but with the migration to the new site, we have slipped quite a bit in search rankings. Hopefully we will recover and get back up to the top of Google soon!!!
