Not yet. Not scheduled to start until 2013. Unless they start ahead of schedule. Which has happened in a couple of markets.

These are maintenance upgrades. They are shown at network.sprint.com. They are not associated with Network Vision or LTE.

to be specific on location

 

Im talking about

Hawaii,Maui

 

not Hawaii,Honolulu

If it's Maui, then probably going to be [well] after a Oahu launch since more people/demand. Kahului/Wailuku, Kihei, and Lahaina will probably launch first just like they did with Wimax.

Nope, the difference is one tower is solely Sprint, the other has every other carrier and then some on it.

The little one or the huge one.

And i did not know Multipul carriers could host their spectrum on 1 tower.

The little one is Sprint, the large one has multiple carriers.

 

Many many many towers, in fact most have more than one carrier on them.

T-Mobile is building a tower near my location

anyway to report sprint about the tower and they could possibly lease it?

Like you can give an idea to sprint where a location for a tower could be.

 

Absolutely not. These things are preplanned and scrutinized by dozens if not hundreds of professionals who take into account the local geography, penetration requirements due to buildings etc, local ordnances and rules regarding towers (pita in a lot of areas), etc etc.

 

If they need a tower then they'll get one. Plus sprint has nor tmobile owns no towers. They sold them long ago (tmobile sold em about a month or two ago) and lease it.

Asked around the sprint forum they have so plans/idea's for LTE In hawaii yet.

 

I assume "so" was supposed to be "no."

 

Don't you know all other forums/sites get their Network Vision info from us? ;)

just called the local sprint store and they said they got a rumor that LTE and Network Vision should start in Summer and may be earlier.

4 Employees said this already

 

 

Summer is on Friday, 21 June 2013

236 days, 20 hours remain till Summer

(Maybe LTE)

I know this may be weird with the tsunami going on yesterday

but Data Speeds are VERY fast during emergencies...

 

not sure if Sprint ups the QoS or what ever.

Aloha Robert I just wanted to know if there's any updates regarding the Honolulu market?

 

Specifically... is Sprint still on track to start construction starting on February 2013? I believe that was the date you told me couple of months back?

Thanks for any information!

    • Also a full system update, security update of about 500 or so MB
    • A new 60MB GP System update was waiting when I checked my S24+ tonight.  And bringing it to a November 1 date this time. 
    • Pixel 8a Dec system update over 800 mb is out for locked t mobile.
    • Drove by there and it definitely isn't on the Northlake property. It was very late, so I couldn't see much else though. Did some more sleuthing on GoogleMaps and I suspect it might be this powerline site nearby: Google Maps I will go by there in the next couple of days during the daytime and see if that's the case.
    • Vinegar Hill is getting the Brooklyn Heights treatment now with regard to small cells. I mapped two more small cells in the neighborhood in the past few days so now T-Mobile is up to 8 of them in such a tiny neighborhood. While it's cool they're doing this since it means outdoors you get a consistent 400Mbps+ almost everywhere, it sucks because they're obviously deploying so many of them to make up for their lack of a macro site in the entire neighborhood. Because there isn't a macro, the small cells have a greater coverage area than you see in other neighborhoods and you often connect to them while indoors but coverage and speeds fall off indoors much faster on small cells than on macros in my experience.  Even Dish has better coverage than T-Mobile in Vinegar Hill since they added the site on top of the Extra Space Storage building alongside AT&T and Verizon. T-Mobile needs to get in line with their competitors there.
