For those interested, the construction meeting went well. Bids are still being accepted from GCs at the moment, but they want to start soon, very soon.

Alright folks. Now that 2014 is here, we should see completion of LTE 1900 in the coming months with a robust 3G/1x800 network as well as see LTE800 start to light up towards the middle-to-end of the

I don't get it... Is it a premiere information thing?

Yeah. Unfortunately. Next phase of Network Vision. Those in the know are bound to only discuss so much of it outside of premiere. Those not in the know however are not.

That's pretty stupid, I thought this website was here to help spread information and details about sprints network not to keep it locked away in the premier section. sigh 

 

There is ton of information available to sponsors and non-sponsors. But to keep this site a float requires the donations of premier members. So there is additional information that premier sponsors have available.

Why so quiet in here? I miss the days of 40 post a day. You guys are turning into Cleveland and Cincinnati.

I think part of it is upgrades have come slower and people aren't checking here as often.  (?)

 

But it looks like Columbus will be mostly complete when Sprint announces the launch.  I'm hoping though the E broad / Lancaster area gets LTE .. there is one slightly north and south of E Broad.. and one east of those near the cematary off E Broad and 270.. they form a triangle ( of which there is no LTE ) ..and hopefully 2 r 3 of these will be done soon

No consistent lte connections here in Cincinnati worth commenting on, unfortunately. B26 is being seen off and on and B41 was on for a few weeks only on lte only setting. And no signs of B25 in the Covington KY at all.

Everything is ramping back up. It's time to get excited. Sites that they made temporary GMOs and haven't had LTE added, are now being reconstructed and are being converted to Full Builds and will have LTE added.

I think Columbus will start to see B26 start kicking in within the next 30-45 days. Sprint B41 is coming along nicely, a few sites are online. Clear B41 is still up already, but they haven't added any additional sites at this time.

Columbus by far is way ahead of Cincinnati, for the looks of it. Unless sites here are actually up but just not running and/or reported. I have noticed that most of the sites that are still showing up as not NV'd in the Covington and Cincinnati downtown per say areas, are sites that are also shared by Clearwire. There are three sites alone in Covington that Sprint shares with Clearwire that have not shown up as upgraded, and 3 in downtown Cinci.

I think the Co-Lo's not being done are just coincidental. There was no correlation between the two in regards to upgrades. We still have sites here that have been built for a while and still haven't been turned on, so don't feel too bad.

I'm just bummed that my Lancaster Ave site is still only NV 3G. I'm in a desert of 3G that is surrounded by LTE.

Powerline Sites that weren't converted are going to be redone to full builds.

It has been mentioned in chat when Dave spoke to a contractor that the sites that became GMO's are being reworked. Many of those sites had other problems that couldn't be dealt with in a timely manner such as electricians for power towers or towers that failed the engineering assessments for additional equipment.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.

      Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.

      What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
