They swapped spectrum with TMobile or AT&T on the pcs spectrum was wondering if they would implement 10X10mhz for Orange County or is that what the 2nd carrier that everyone's been noticing lately in relation to it.

In total, Sprint already has the equivalent of a 10x10 on air because of the second carrier. I don't believe any spectrum was swapped in southern California.

Only in San Diego and that happened in the last few weeks.

No spectrum was swapped in San Diego (unless I am missing something, don't think I am).

 

Orange County and San Diego both have 2nd carriers online, and that has been the case for some time.

Would be nice to see 10x10 FDD B25 in San Diego.  I don't think I have seen any of it yet if it was true.  ;)  2nd carrier B25 and B41 2xCA all over the county though.

Pretty happy to see that B41 now reaches inside my office, this morning was on 3G around 6 am, just got back to my desk and boom LTE on my Moto X Pure, I can browse facebook, stream youtube and instagram. Previously I was able to do this but I had to wait a 15-20 secs to buffer/load and see instagram posts while on 3G. Now is blazing fast. I'm in Costa Mesa, off Harbor and 405.

 

Must say that there is a Wimax tower behing my office building probably 1200 feet away, my phone would connect after exiting the building and/or at the parking lot.

 

Is it a possibility that Wimax has been turned off on the tower and now its fully broadcasting LTE?

Sprint is deploying more and more B41 sites and I have seen locations in the Bay Area where I get no B25 but very nice and fast B25. Not sure why but Sprint needs to fix it.

Anyone have insight into what the expected completion date is for the San Bernardino transition? I think the FCC set the original deadline to be February of this year, but it's unclear how the extension that was granted last year affected it.

 

Was reading this on reddit, it appears not much progress.

Yeah San Bernardino needs to get its butt into gear.   I sure hope they don't wait until Jan 2017 to be 100% cleared of the 800 MHz spectrum so that LA/OC county can finally deploy CDMA 800 and LTE 800.  For now even consistent CDMA 800 would be nice.

The contract between Sprint and San Bernardino County allows for up to $450,000 in incentives if the County can complete rebanding by June 30, 2016.  Other milestone dates with lower payments include August 15, 2016 and October 15, 2016.   (Incentives are also broken up into "desert" and "non-desert".)

Very interesting so it sounds like those incentives could push a completion by then. I'm somewhat excited

One would hope. If they don't, that's leaving money on the table.

I don't expect a county/city that went bankrupt to make smart financial decisions. Heck, they'll probably delay and ask for more money.

Any more updates on the rebanding progress?

 

Once the rebanding is complete, how long will it be before we can expect band 26 in LA & OC counties?

I have nothing new to report. I've reached out to both the County and Sprint, but neither has given an update.

 

I wouldn't read too much into a lack of answers. It probably just means they don't want to talk to John Q. Public.

Along the borders sprint has to come to an agreement with both parties to share the 800. Sprint would go broke trying to buy it out

I'm getting band 26 occasionally in LA county by LAX on Project Fi. I'm not sure about OC.

That's impossible

How? If the spectrum has been cleared and they're deploying it. Isn't it possible that they've turned some clusters on.

Can you post some shots of your engineering screens and the location?

 

I'll admit, I'm skeptical, but I would be thrilled if you did find an active B26 site in Los Angeles.

I thought there was still a hold up with San Bernardino county?

S4GRU has already stated that it isn't cleared just yet. We thought they cleared it but it was wrong. So that's impossible if you found band 26 active in SoCal. I live here also. I would have noticed by now.

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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?
