Network Vision/LTE - Hawaii Market (including Honolulu, Oahu and all Hawaiian Islands)

[jknight]

I was looking at a site where AT&T also has equipment. It took the state of Hawaii seven months to issue a permit. I don't expect work on towers to begin until early next year.. based on what we see now.

Guess those Alcatel lucent guys are going to sit around getting paid while the permits go though the state red tape

Approximately 1/3rd of the ~150 sprint cell sites have had building permits applied or begun zoning stuff (step before building permit application) but due to the nature of the HI government, things are going pretty slow. It takes approximately 3-6 months (or more) to get a building permit issued and a vast majority of sites were applied in the febuary / march / april time frame.

So anytime now IAW 3-6 months As early as May - August or as late as August thru Nov for the permits to be issued?

Thing is you need addresses and these addresses for sprint cell sites are sponsor only.

Every permit marker on my map links to the permit on the Web. No fuss needed.

Is there any new permits issued?  The permits should be rolling out. But Hawaiian time is not cutting it any more.  Haven't had 4G since the Galaxy S3 can out. (Just over a Year.)  Since the S3 has no WIMAX on the phone.  Never did get WIMAX near my house.  Sprint 3G doesn't cover my house I have to have a Airrave at the house.

Hawaii is supposed to be one of the last markets. It has been scheduled to start this summer. It appears that permits will start to be issued in the next month or so. Work will get started when that happens. However, the first LTE signals probably will not be live until Fall.

Any one got ideas of when 3G will be upgraded?

Each site will probably get 3G accepted between 2 to 6 months after the permit is issued for that site. As of yet no permits have been issued for Honolulu.

What about for the county of maui

[TechSmurf]

Maui is faster than Honolulu on the permits, but still nothing major to report yet. Further details can be found in the permit thread.

Thanks for the post. I show 6 towers going Network Vision in 90 days in Hilo, HI. In Honolulu show we have started to rollout. There is 2 towers that I can see getting the update in 90 days as well. I apologize for the inconvenience over this, but we are really working on getting your islands up and running with Network Vision.

Man. I really hope the build out starts soon. I am barely getting 100kbps at times with an average ping of 350 ms.

Well atleast people of maui are lucky they get around ~700Kbps - 200Kbps
