Tazman69 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Have any towers in the Austin metro area (not the Waco area of the Austin market) begun the upgrades? Originally we were listed as a possible launch in August and I saw it has now been updated to September but there are still no sites listed as even complete in the Austin metro area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally we were listed as a possible launch in August and I saw it has now been updated to September but there are still no sites listed as even complete in the Austin metro area. I don't think we have seen any evidence in Austin, aside from some eHRPD connections logged in the wild. No LTE yet. And Austin was conspicuously absent from the "end of August" list announced in conjunction with Sprint's recent earnings call and report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecrowing08 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Is southeast Wisconsin in this roll out? I hate being so close to the border because it always looks like we will be included and we usually aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tampaflusa Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 They really should have lit some towers in downtown Tampa for the RNC to show off the network. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Republicans are corporatists. 1) They do not use Sprint, they love the anti competitive duopolists, VZW and AT&T, and 2) they dislike Network Vision because they want to keep CAPEX low yet still squeeze more revenue out of existing subs.

EXLINE Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Cant wait for September and Indy has some live sites. These 3 protection sites around a city that has about a million people and over 2 million in the metro area just don't cut it. At least one of them is right next to where I work. Sooon as we start getting LTE I am buying a S3. I just can't do it yet because I utilize WiMax still on my S2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXLINE Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) Isn't samsung the only vendor that hasn't began in a second market yet? Chicago is still there only one correct? Also, I think Southern Indiana will be in the West Kentucky market and that is Ericsson. so close but yet so far....

Pillowsplat Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 You know if Sprint were smart they would do a "how it's made" or let some one do a ride along so we could see the work involved in upgrading to a LTE tower/System. It would be facinating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QWIKSTRIKE Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) I highly doubt NYC will look like that come the end of August. I'm very disappointed in the progress there. It is going way too slow. Let's see what happens in August. NYC is a large market dude.....buildings blocking signal needs to be set up correctly or signal will be blotchy and spotty if not set up correctly. The map that I have seen shows the coverage going up as far as Poughkeepsie near IBM's HQ. That's awesome.....patients is a virtue. I have received 1.9 mbs on 3g in some areas like Jamaica Queens, and the Bronx. Edited August 2, 2012 by QWIKSTRIKE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samsung has local subcontractors doing most of the work. Samsung provides design, equipment and installation/schedule management. Samsung should be able to start in other markets with little or no impact to current markets being deployed. Robert 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Sorry... guess I should've been a little more clear on my post. As you already know, my tower's backhaul finally went live about a month ago. However, something went kaput Sunday night... and all my Sprint phones are now roaming. I was more or less teasing that they don't forget about that tower before hitting up second round market. I'm also aware of the whole sub-contractor thing. There was a thread about how cell companies manage this stuff, and watched that video about AT&T's massive network upgrade a few years back. Pretty insane stuff how these field techs get paid next to nothing for such a high risk job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
