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

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.

    • 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.
    • T-Mobile Delivers Industry-Leading Customer, Service Revenue and Profitability Growth in Q1 2024, and Raises 2024 Guidance https://www.t-mobile.com/news/business/t-mobile-q1-2024-earnings — — — — — I find it funny that when they talk about their spectrum layers they're saying n71, n25, and n41. They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.
