Network Vision/LTE - Jacksonville Market (including Gainesville/St. Augustine/Ocala)

[Ascertion]

There must be something going on. Other areas have hundreds of towers come online with 1x800 all at once. Some areas even have nearly 100 LTE 800 online. We know that Ericsson can do 800 from looking at Texas. So...hopefully switches will start getting flipped and entire markets can be live all at once. I don't see any reason why not. It seems that the equipment is already there.

This is why.

Most of the counties in Florida have been cleared to use the 800 mhz spectrum. This waiver was granted 2 months ago from the look of it. So let's start flipping switches.

I just read through that entire thing. All I saw that matters to me and everyone 80 miles distance to miami, is that 800 can be activated because rebanding is complete. Therefore, I anticipate a February gigantic 800 mhz activation. I can't believe I just read that entire thing...and understood it. What has this site done to me. 

 

Also that brings questions to my mind. Why hasn't this been done yet? What's holding them back if all of the process has been completed?

Remember that the FCC only gave Sprint permission to start 800 the very end of November.  That is only like 30 business days ago.  It's probably being worked on now.

 

Also, the last Florida 800 update I received was when I posted the Gainesville site.  There could be dozens accepted since then.  I will post more Florida 800 acceptances when I get them.  Remember, I don't get 800 acceptances daily like I do CDMA & LTE 1900.

Pretty awesome that all of Florida is done though, excluding the miami-dade market. Thanks for all of your hard work. Question, with the automation process should we be seeing updates on a  daily basis now or was that just to clean up anY existing acceptances that were straggling behind due to such a large number of them being reported.

Including 800 LTE?

Yep it includes 800 LTE as well.  Although there seemed to be a few notable exceptions... 

 

"Thus, Sprint argues, it cannot deploy broadband LTE in the old NPSPAC band in areas of 

Florida which are fully cleared of public safety operations, including populous metropolitan areas such as 

Tampa-St. Petersburg and Orlando."

 

I am reading through the rest of it now.

So not yet for LTE, but Smr Voice is a go.

It says below that orange county is part of the waiver and excluded to the restrictions. Did I read that wrong?

[S4GRU]

I read it to mean that Sprint can use all its SMR spectrum in Florida, except in the 11 counties listed near Dade County. Even CDMA 800 is wideband. It doesn't reference any technology as not allowed or any portion of spectrum off limits. As far as I can tell, Sprint can use BC 10/Band 26 in all the Florida counties listed in Exhibit A.

 

I believe in the portion where Sprint says they cannot use LTE is their argument FOR allowing this petition, not the results after the petition is approved.

Has anyone ever seen this MCC ID # in their signal check?

Have you guys seen a lack of ehrpd, particularly around the South-East side of Jax? Don't think my phone has reported ehrpd on 3G for about two weeks now.

I've seen EVDO Rev A instead of eHRPD only twice. Once on a back stretch of sr16 in St Augustine and it only lasted one night and was back to eHRPD the following morning and the second time was while passing by the tower by CR210 and i95 by the Phantom Fireworks building before it finally became 4G/3G accepted.

I usually only see it disappear in low signal areas.

Seems to happen all the time for me around TC. Good signal or bad. Was curious as to what could be going on in the area to affect something like that.

I'm not in the Jax area but in Orlando I've been noticing my phone will connect to eHRPD but once it attempts to use data it will cycle back and fourth and end up on EVDO. For example, on multiple occasions I've seen the network strength indicator flash like it's trying to connect but immediately gets disconnected and then attempts to connect again. After 10 seconds or so of attempting to connect to eHRPD my phone will park itself on EVDO, or if I'm in a weak signal area, 1x. 

 

I'm HOPING they're upgrading the software so they can deploy 800. We desperately need it around here, especially around UCF.

[The Dave]

So today I drove all over St Augustine and lost LTE briefly 4 times at completely different towers and dropped data altogether and ended up on EVDO every time. Very odd. Hopefully this means something is being done on the 3G end of the towers. Maybe SMR?

We can only hope.

The last time I experienced CDMA 800 it was after a citywide voice and SMS outage.

I went to my sprint store tonight and switched half of my lines to framily. They said since the tower got 4g lte business picked up to the point where the line was out the door. Also the free galaxy tab 3 you get just for joining framily was a big deal.

[Terrell352]

The shores tower in Ocala is now live with LTE. Mapped it on sensorly. Also some rural towers went live also. 3 this month in Ocala. Ocala as a whole is about 80% complete.

[CaryTheLabelGuy]

I'm also having LTE issues today. I've seen signal drop and am also experiencing very high pings and inconsistent data speeds. This is in te downtown area.

[Terrell352]

Looks like Gainesville got more 800 love

[Terrell352]

Ill be there tomorrow to report any 800 cdma
