I'm glad to see LTE live in parts of Atlanta now. Hurry up Sprint, lol. Finish NV so I can have a taste of the power of LTE. Hopefully the next time I'm in LA there will be more active LTE sites now!

Additionally, to those of you who think that Sprint's 5x5 carrier is going to fill up so fast...consider this. Sprint's LTE network is being deployed much denser than Verizon.   Verizon has one 10

I think I have a post around here somewhere that says something to the fact of, 'I believe there will be an EVO LTE OTA, then miraculously LTE will start going live.'

Is it on sale? I try to stock up on LTE when it is $.79/lb.   AJ

Who knows what it could be, but remember when they turned on the tower up the road from my house a little over a month ago I was hitting over 30meg down for the most part all day long. Personally though, I don't think sprint will leave the pipes wide open as far as download speeds goes.

They may leave it alone for a minute....at least all of next week. High data speeds make for favorable news articles, hooking new subscribers, PR, and I dont see how it could hurt stocks.

 

I have to agree with 'themuffinman' on this one, as much as the high speeds would bring some positive PR for sprint, as soon as they drop from that high, people will say that the network is over burdened and write it off. Robert is correct that it is probably backhaul/signal/equipment that all need to be optimized, and the system needs to be running to test these things. So, while capping downloads at 10-15Mb/s will make us hardcore tech people upset, the general populations will just see it as a consistent service (which will be great for almost any user) and they will probably be happier than allowing some to reach higher speeds and then see a slowdown...

Also remember that we know that there are less than 50% of towers are even active right now, so as more people switch to an LTE phone, there will be more towers for them to connect to and therefore shouldn't overcrowd the network for a while. But unless sprint is willing to take the risk of bad PR in the near future, they might opt to lower expectations and be able to over deliver on them.

No permanent 4G just yet but I did notice during a call I still had a 3G connection and was able to surf. That was always a no no.

 

The GSIII supports SVDO so you will always have 3G when you are on a call when you are in a 3G service area.

The Viper, the EVO LTE and the GSIII all support it. Can't remember if the GNex does or not.

 

The gnex doesn't support 3g and voice at the same time.

Got some more from Houston. Most of these were taken while driving 45 MPH. Pings are a little slow because I was using the Austin server which usually gives me the best results.

Good thing you aren't on Verizon, your data allotment would be used up after all those speed tests. LOL

      Are you sure that's Direct to Cell? That sounds like the 911 center was offline and they got brought back online via a Starlink uplink. Which also makes way more sense than Direct to Cell for that area.

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.
