dontsh00tmesanta Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 How is it that T-Mobile has lte signal active first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digiblur Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Migrated from Original Forum. Originally Posted 01 August 2011 - 10:47 AM Protection Site Black List! These cities will not likely be getting protection sites. The reason is, in these cities Clearwire is already broadcasting on 2.5GHz. So they are meeting FCC licensing requirements for minimum coverages already in this spectrum. The problem for Sprint users, is that they are broadcasting their legacy Pre-WiMax signals here. Not WiMax. So your Sprint devices don't detect it! Aberdeen/Hoquiam WA Anchorage AK Anderson CA Bend OR Carson City NV Central Point OR Chico CA Chippewa Falls WI Clarkston WA Cohasset Beach/Wesport WA Corning CA Dayton OH Duluth MN Eagle River AK Eau Claire WI Fernley NV Grants Pass OR Hermantown MN Klamath Falls OR Incline Village NV Jacksonville OR Lewiston ID Longview TX Madras OR Medford OR Middletown OH Minden/Gardnerville NV Moscow ID Myrtle Creek OR Orland CA Paradise CA Prineville OR Proctor MN Pullman WA Red Bluff CA Redding CA Redmond OR Reno/Sparks NV Roseburg OR St. Cloud MN Shasta Lake CA Sisters OR South Lake Tahoe CA Springfield OH Stateline/Kingsbury NV Superior WI Wenatchee WA When Clear first started deploying their WiMax networks, they started with their Pre-WiMax markets first. Many, like Boise, Idaho and Jacksonville, Florida had their towers coverted from pre-WiMax to WiMax. However, about halfway through these conversions, Sprint started releasing WiMax devices and pressuring Clear to switch to major metro areas (which of course makes a lot of sense). And then, as we all know, about halfway through the major market rollout, Clear started running into financial problems. Since they were running out of time to meet FCC Minimum Coverage Standards, they have largely abandoned Major Market Rollouts and running around and setting up Protection Sites. However, the cities listed above are likely not to ever get protection sites. The Old Clearwire Pre-Wimax signals are still being broadcast in these cities, and they have pretty substantial coverage areas. So Clearwire is just going to jump right over them. And since Sprint (and likely Clear too) are migrating toward LTE, it is likely these cities WILL NEVER see WiMax signals. Sad! Cities the size of Dayton, Anchorage and Reno are secondary markets. This is a major oversight by Clear and Sprint. Tsk, tsk! Not to mention the major oversights of the primary markets of San Diego, Phoenix, Detroit, Memphis, Indianapolis, Birmingham... Simple. Throw up LTE equipment, hook to existing backhaul and hit the road. Bolt on, done. They aren't swapping everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthew23319 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 People with t mobile have been picking up lte for about three weeks now in fresno ..... And sprint no lte .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oedipus Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Not sure why you think Sprint has to come before Tmobile, especially when it's well documented that Tmobile basically ignores cities outside of a select few that get HSPA and LTE upgrades. The fact that Fresno is even on that list should be considered an internal error that Tmobile hasn't discovered yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontsh00tmesanta Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Sprint as well had ignored outside of cities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Sprint as well had ignored outside of cities This isn't true at all. Sprint has 5x the rural 3G coverage of Tmo. And soon will have 5x the LTE coverage. Your negative posts flirt with the line of being posting violations. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/1197-s4gru-posting-guidelines-aka-the-rulez/ Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontsh00tmesanta Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Not in my area they are about the same only reason I'm still with sprint is they have better building penetration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontsh00tmesanta Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I've been with sprint for 7 years outside Fresno coverage is sporadic this needs to change. I'm hoping NV will change this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacinJosh Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I've been with sprint for 7 years outside Fresno coverage is sporadic this needs to change. I'm hoping NV will change this Except for the dead spot in Tehachapi that I have to roam on Verizon, I have native Sprint service everywhere I go in the Lower Central Valley, and my voice service has been great. Data, not as much, but I won't complain about that since Visalia is blanketed by WiMax, and my iSpot works great for data service even though its slow.

Oedipus Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Fixing that is kinda the point of the NV project. Any "stop gap" fixes would only serve to delay the NV upgrades. Not that it would be possible to have a "stop gap" fix that adds 800 service, and 800 wont initially be used for anything beyond 1x anyway.

MacinJosh Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Checked out the site on Acequia in Visalia today, and in order for them to do Network Vision, it looks like they will have to take the down the site to do the work. The fenced in area is really small, and the legacy equipment takes all the space up, except enough to walk around, and you might have to be skinny to do that. Didn't see new cabinets yet. I'll keep an eye on it. Hopefully soon. Sent from Josh's iPhone 5 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oedipus Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Did you notice any USA markings on the ground near the site? I drove by there yesterday, too (god we're nerds) but I couldn't slow down enough to look at the site very closely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontsh00tmesanta Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Considering NV won't come here for anther 5 no or so a stop gap wouldn't be too out of the question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were already late to a job in Tulare, and as a result we have to go back Sunday to finish. Oops! But it sounds like the job is going to grow, so .
