Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

Recommended Posts

although it might have triband, i think HTC is a little to late into the game. only has snapdragon 600 for a flagship, 4megapixel camera, etc. i think LG g2 is a better phone overall. I will just wait and see has triband pan out in nyc

 

 

Tri-Band is definitely worth it now, and into the future with Sprint in NYC. I can tell you now, TD-LTE is pretty far ahead in NYC!!! Premier Sponsorship has its perks!!!

 

Where NYC lags in 800, it's ahead in 2500/2600 Mhz.

It's a real shame. Everyone thought that TD-LTE was just a simple software switch, but apparently not. They have the spectrum available and they should try to utilize it ASAP.

TD-LTE is getting deployed way faster because of the backhaul from WiMax being in place. I woukd venture to say that most of the Wimax towers in Brooklyn and the Bronx have been coverted.

 

It is being used. More cities have 2600 than hav

Uhh... not sure what you're talking about. No one EVER said TD-LTE was a simple switch. It requires new RRUs and in some cases new antennas for dual WiMax/LTE support. It's already live across a good portion of the NYC sites, and a new large batch is slated to be live soon.

Not sure where u heard that LTE 2600 was a switch. It was very clear in the beginning that new rrus needed to be installed to support TD LTE

Yes you will. 1900 and 25/2600MHz LTE are available right now, and 800 LTE will be available soon.

In other news, I felt like I was in the future today while I was in Ikea's eating area. I was connected to LTE and CDMA 800 at the same time.

Lol you go to ikea a lot. You need that much furniture or is it the actual 800 connection that makes you come back so often?

I moved to my new home in February so I go back often. Today my Grandmother wanted to return something and my mother wanted to return a rug so we just went. The food is just a part of the experience. I rarely ever go without stopping for food.

I expect sprint to get similar speeds on Band 41, of course when you have nobody riding on that frequency you can reach pretty optimal speeds as this Verizon example.

    • T-Mobile has saved its 28Mhz mmWave licenses by using the point to point method to do environment monitoring inside its cabinets. The attachment below shows the antennas used: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/ApplicationSearch/applAdmin.jsp;JSESSIONID_APPSEARCH=LxvbnJuvusmIklPhKy6gVK7f9uwylrZ8LiNf3BqIKlDp3_5GxoBr!300973589!225089709?applID=14787154#   Here are the sites for Franklin county OH: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/attachments/attachmentViewRD.jsp?applType=search&fileKey=66518254&attachmentKey=21989782&attachmentInd=applAttach
    • Yep, there is a label on the side of the box but it doesn't provide any useful info that the city doesn't already provide (Crown Castle Solutions is the franchisee). You can see my graphical interpretation of the city's dataset here.

    • Totally agree.  In my county and surrounding counties, TM did not place n-41 on every site.  When I look at the sites in question, I probably would have not placed it there either.  I can find just a few with n-71 only and in most of those cases if you live there and know the probable usage of the residents, you would not do a full upgrade on those sites.  One site in particular is set up to force feed n-71 through a long tunnel on the Turnpike.  No stopping allowed in the tunnel. No stores, movie theaters, bathrooms, so n41 would be a waste.    n25 is not really needed either, so it is not there.  The tunnel is going through & under a mountain with more black bears than people.  TM was smart.  Get good coverage in the tunnel but do not waste many many thousands of dollars with extra unused spectrum. I also see sites with only n71 & n25.  Again this makes sense to me.  Depending on what county we are talking about, they moved much of their b25 from LTE to nr.  Some counties have more n25 than a neighboring county, but luckily, it is plenty everywhere.   When you are in a very rural area, n41 can run up the bills and then be barely used.  I am NOT finding sites that should have had n41 but TM failed to provide it.  They may have to come back later in a few years and upgrade the site to n41.  However, we just may eventually see the last little piece on Band 25 leave LTE and move to n25. I am not sure if the satellite to phone service is using band 25 G block as LTE or nr. We also can possibly have at least some AWS move from LTE to nr at some point.  Yes, everybody wants n41. it is not justified in some cases.  When I travel, I desire some decent service along the entire route but it does not have to be 1 or 2 gig download.   If I can get 50/5 on a speedtest with data that will flow and not stutter, I am very happy. Yes, they will swap out the USC gear.  TM needs to match their existing network. The USCC equipment did the job for years, but it is time to retire it.
