Quiz for the Network Gurus


Recommended Posts

So everyone needs a Guru!

 

zip 21774

 

New Market MD part of the Baltimore Tower system

 

 

S3

 

Airvanna working fine.

 

I can not call out. ( I tried 2 numbers ) received "We cannot complete your call at this time" error when calling out.

 

I can However complete a call to *2

 

Incoming calls work fine.

 

What component are they replacing at my local tower? Or is it something else completely?

 

I put in Chat request so Sprint knows.

You had to have an airlink connection to hear the error message or receive incoming calls. So, the cell site is fine. The problem likely is at the MSC.

MSC = a switching device in the Land line system?

 

Just to narrow it down a bit more

I was able to call out to a verizon cell and my wife's phone acts the same way.

No land lines out

cell to cell ok

incoming ok

 

I rebooted the airvanna and phones

 

while the airvanna was down I could call out while roaming (triangle) on another network.

 

as soon as airavnna re provisioned same thing.

 

Comcast connection 30-34 mps down 8-9 mps up

 

I'm guessing it will all fix itself

As long as your internet is still working it should be fine. I have no idea what type of landline you are calling, but the phone system could be out on that end, as you said that mobile to mobile was fine. Unless I am not understanding you correctly, it does not sound like a problem with the network. Personally I have found that BOOST phones do not work while in range of the airvana, as i suppose the PRL is not accepted by the network.

Good luck, and post back if you figure out why it was acting up.

    • Mapped two n41 small cell sin Jersey City today. They're the first two to be mapped there in Jersey City as far as I can tell and interestingly they're consecutive gNBs, possibly indicating they were installed around the same time. gNB 1088335 appears to be an upgrade of an older small cell. It looks identical to the T-Mobile n41 small cell I mapped earlier this year in Old Westbury.   I also mapped gNB 1088334 in Newport. This small cell appears to be a new build as I couldn't find any evidence of an older small cell in that area. Unfortunately no pic of it since I didn't even notice that I mapped it until I got home and I can't find it in Streetview.
    • Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.
    • Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.
    • No? RCS on Google messages works great for me, messages between anyone with RCS enabled go through with no problems. Don't remember the last time I had an issue. I only have issues with people on iPhones on different carriers from T-Mobile.
    • Has anyone experienced a ridiculous amount of difficulty with Google messages with RCS enabled?  It has been a train wreck for me for the past year so I now use WhatsApp.  That works very well for all of us.... Android and iOS.
