HD Voice is still limited to inter-carrier calls, correct?

We have gotten several reports that HD Voice codec to landlines sound very clear and almost HD sounding. Seems like if the switch is fully upgraded to support HD voice, then the quality of the voice when hits the telephone system beyond it is still going to be at least as good as what is on the other end of the connection.

Thats what i was thinking but on the gmo sites around here they dont install new panels they just leave the old ones up then install the ruus and cabinets and call it a day. Plus this is a major site.

Must be a ground mounted site.

T-Mobile has the RRUs built into the panels. Maybe those are T-Mobile panels?

Tmo has rru in Jacksonville. I believe up north they have the built in units.

The tower on 17/Edgewood behind Moonriver pizza is broadcasting LTE and so is the tower on NAS jax along 17

That's great news, I've been looking forward to that, now I can actually use my Phone while having Lunch at Zaxbys!!

Some of the towers out my way *blanding blvd/old jennings middleburg) are still being worked on, at least according to escalated support (Dan@sprint.com). Not sure what they are doing to them, but some days I have to cycle airplane mode with the phone (GS3) next to the Airave to reconnect on that. It sees just enough signal from a tower to try to connect, only to drop again every 10-15 seconds.

 

I did get a monthly credit for 6 months due to those issues.

 

It's good to see that there is some signal work being done, but having it drop every 10-15 seconds is not good for a call, especially since the Airave won't hand off to the towers. I can now carry a call into the neighborhood and to my driveway. I cannot make another call out though unless I connect to the Airave or go down the street a ways.

 

Here is what it looks like standing on my back porch with the Airave off.

I have had it connect to LTE the other night, but as soon as I went into the debug, it dropped back to 3G and LTE was not connected.

 

 

Riverside is rocking the LTE now, going down Park st, I no longer drop connection on Milk Music. The signal does drop some around Park and King, but stays strong enough to keep LTE.

Orlando has quite a few 4g only sites. And I don't think I've seen a new site get accepted in a while.

Dude i think the contractors in Orlando are on vacation or something. There hasnt been any real substantial movement for us in a good month or so. SoFla seems like they are getting all the love nowadays with the acceptances

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
