So anyway, I past through San Juan again today and again I was able to connect to lte at the airport just fine. One thing that did have me puzzled was the fact that my evo was able to connect and maintain the lowest of the lowest lte signal with no toggling at all. Anyway, I already have lte in atlanta now all I need is lte in St.Thomas and I will be one happy sprint customer.

They are upgrading the entire network, not just cities. So they upgrade each site the moment it is ready. It is typically faster to have a rural site ready to upgrade than an urban site. Backhaul i

Your complaints are rather pathetic. To complain right in the middle of active deployment is ridiculous. The speed in which Sprint and Samsung have converted sites in Puerto Rico is unprecedented. E

Guys. Sprint is better than ever. No more drop calls for me from UPR to Toa Baja and vice versa. Very good LTE speed. UPR Río Piedras Campus have LTE everywhere and usable 3g if LTE isnt available. I'

ANYBODY KNOWS IF SPRINT WILL USE ALCATEL LUCENT LIGHT RADIO IN PUERTO RICO? WE ALREADY KNOW SAMSUNG IS RUNNING THE SHOW HERE BUT....WOULD BE GOOD FOR MALLS , DOWNTOWN.......

 

Samsung has their own similar product. Deployment of small cells will not begin until late 2013/2014. I imagine they will include PR as well, but we have very little info about Sprint's Small Cell plans at this time. Sprint is still in the early planning stage.

 

Also, please do not use ALL CAPS. Thanks.

To find out just go to your speed test app, go to results and just tap on that individual test. It will then show you some more details about that test including whether you are on ehrpd or not

The list of completed nv sites means that they are functional or it means that they have the equipment installed?

 

I ask because there is one completed site near work that I always used to be connected there (if netmonitor is correct) but now it wont connect.

The same is happening in my apt.

If it shows up on the completed sites map, it means the work is done at the site and Sprint has inspected and accepted it. In most instances the improvements are live at that time, but occasionally they are not. In most instances when they are not live right away, it is usually only an issue for a few weeks at the most.

If allot of these sites don't have the back haul it won't matter what improvements were done. Time will tell but I'm not convinced that all sites will get lte and or back haul.

Don't know why are so low you're hopes on NV, probably there problems in you're area, i've seen a lot of changes in west area from before and after NV sites were on, improved 3g speed from San German to Aguadilla (not Mayaguez), and after tasting a bit of LTE, my hopes on Sprint Network can't be higher.

They all will, it's just a matter of when ;)

 

But they will not send away crews that are here doing NV conversions if backhaul at a site is not ready. They will convert the site anyway and connect backhaul and turn on LTE later when they become available. They may be crossing a threshold that most of the sites that have backhaul upgrades are now converted. I'm not certain though.

Seems like the Ponce guy that is mapping the LTE study at La Catolica, now sensorly show LTE around campus LOL

Yes it was me. I managed to pick up LTE from Carr 132 through all Avenida las Americas and on the west side of the campus. However i did notice some inconsistency between speeds. I got from 14 mbps to 6 mbps and even .09 mbps on LTE. I also had a ridiculous result of 6.30 mps download and over 31+ mbps upload. I'll post the results later today when i get back home.

I notice that also in Hatillo, when down results show less than 5mbps the upload where crazy fast, the needle rev up like rpm's in a racer car. Don't know if is a bug of the speedtest app.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By wispiANt · Posted

      Historically, T-Mobile has been the only carrier contracting with Crown Castle Solutions, at least in Brooklyn. I did a quick count of the ~35 nodes currently marked as "installed" and everything mapped appears to be T-Mobile. However, they have a macro sector pointed directly at this site and seem to continue relying on the older-style DAS nodes. Additionally, there's another Crown Castle Solutions node approved for construction just around the corner, well within range of their macro. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Verizon using a new vendor for their mmWave build, especially since the macro site directly behind this node lacks mmWave/CBRS deployment (limited to LTE plus C-Band). However, opting for a multi-carrier solution here seems unlikely unless another carrier has actually joined the build. This node is equidistant (about five blocks) between two AT&T macro sites, and there are no oDAS nodes deployed nearby. Although I'm not currently mapping AT&T, based on CellMapper, it appears to be right on cell edge for both sites. Regardless, it appears that whoever is deploying is planning for a significant build. There are eight Crown Castle Solutions nodes approved for construction in a 12-block by 2-block area.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      Starlink (1900mhz) for T-Mobile, AST SpaceMobile (700mhz and 850mhz) for AT&T, GlobalStar (unknown frequency) for Apple, Iridium (unknown frequency) for Samsung, and AST SpaceMobile (850mhz) for Verizon only work on frequency bands the carrier has licensed nationwide.  These systems broadcast and listen on multiple frequencies at the same time in areas much wider than normal cellular market license areas.  They would struggle with only broadcasting certain frequencies only in certain markets so instead they require a nationwide license.  With the antennas that are included on the satellites, they have range of cellular band frequencies they support and can have different frequencies with different providers in each supported country.  The cellular bands in use are typically 5mhz x 5mhz bands (37.5mbps total for the entire cell) or smaller so they do not have a lot of data bandwidth for the satellite band covering a very large plot of land with potentially millions of customers in a single large cellular satellite cell.  I have heard that each of Starlink's cells sharing that bandwidth will cover 75 or more miles. Satellite cellular connectivity will be set to the lowest priority connection just before SOS service on supported mobile devices and is made available nationwide in supported countries.  The mobile device rules pushed by the provider decide when and where the device is allowed to connect to the satellite service and what services can be provided over that connection.  The satellite has a weak receiving antenna and is moving very quickly so any significant obstructions above your mobile device antenna could cause it not to work.  All the cellular satellite services are starting with texting only and some of them like Apple's solution only support a predefined set of text messages.  Eventually it is expected that a limited number of simultaneous voice calls (VoLTE) will run on these per satellite cell.  Any spare data will then be available as an extremely slow LTE data connection as it could potentially be shared by millions of people.  Satellite data from the way these are currently configured will likely never work well enough to use unless you are in a very remote location.

      will this work for service in a plane?

      T-Mobile owns the PCS G-block across the contiguous U.S. so they can just use that spectrum to broadcast direct to cell. Ideally your phone would only connect to it in areas where there isn't any terrestrial service available.

      So how does this whole direct to satellite thing fit in with the way it works now? Carriers spend billions for licenses for specific areas. So now T-Mobile can offer service direct to customers without having a Terrestrial license first?
