Network Vision/LTE - Oklahoma Market


Serious

Recommended Posts

MM will probably be what this market gets. They are limited but they are cheaper. Still can get great speeds with them.

 

There are also a few south okc and tulsa areas.

You don't think they'll do full tower implementation? Can mini macros do carrier aggregation? Thanks for replies.

So is mini Macro the same as the small cells they were talking about? Sorry it's been a while since I've been on here and have forgotten a lot haha.

They are mostly used for macro sites to save some cash, but as you found they perform pretty well and do support CA (limited to 2x)

 

But they are also used for small cells as well.

Funnily enough I just caught a 2x ca for a little bit. Weak signal but it was there. Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

It looked like something is going right with the tower on Southeast 15th and Air Depot. It's one of the ones with three panels: a dual band, a 1900, and a 2600 mini macro per sector. f54a5bd1aea5a326ebc200cb4d47451b.jpg

I've spotted 64t64r equipment on several towers over there past few months and when connected to them my phone will display 5g but I can confirm through field test that 5g is not actually active. They are configured as 3x ca on the DL and only single channel uplink LTE currently. Is Sprint planning to flip the switch once the majority of the towers are upgraded?

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). The do have a reserve level. It is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  They did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, RVs in Walmart parking lots where mobile needs all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71. 93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline in June for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio iirc. No reported sightings.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.
