First, I want to thank twospirits (aka Dave) for putting this together and sharing it with me, and now I will use this awesome table he built and keep adding devices to it.   For those of you who can'

Following up on the Tri-Band Broadband Data devices, The Novatel MiFi 5580 '500' LTE received FCC approval yesterday. All that's left is a release day from Sprint!     Update: Sprint officially

Great news! The NetGear (formerly Sierra Wireless) 341U USB Modem passed thru the FCC this week.   On Band 26 LTE (SMR LTE) it was tested using 1.4 MHz bandwidth, as well as 3 MHz, 5 MHz, and 10 MHz

Evleaks posted on twitter 2 days ago that Sprint will be getting the Galaxy S4 mini. From existing rumors, the SPH-L520 could very well be the GS4 mini.

Very, very interesting. But, personally, at this point, if it doesn't have tri-band LTE support, I'm not interested!

Updated the Original Post to include the awesome table that twospirits (aka Dave) put together.

 

Josh.  Might I suggest that for the SVDO, SVLTE, LTE 1900, LTE 800 and LTE 2600 rows in the table that if the technology does not exist for that device to add a "NO" instead of some cells that say "NO" and some cells that are grayed out.  It just looks weird to me.  I would much rather see a "NO" for all the grayed out cells instead of just "blanks" so it looks like a complete table.  

 

Also you can add the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 to this list.  I wonder how much this is going to cost as a mid range.  Could be $99 or $149.

That can be modified to say all no's instead of gray. And I will try to add the Galaxy Mega in a little while when I'm on the road to work.

Thanks.  I think this change would help out most folks who are curious since its very clear that a "NO" means not supported.

Changed made as requested.

 

Also...

added N/A to those cells to indicate Not Available and

added Unk to those cells to indicate Unknown at this time.

Thanks. I was working all day and wasn't by my computer.

A new Sprint tablet by Samsung was filed in the FCC yesterday. Model number is SM-T217S. It only supports LTE Band 25, which is Sprint's original LTE band.

With 2 ipads and 1 Galaxy Tab 10.1 currently being offered, I am curious as to what this one would be. Will it be a Note 10.1. a new Tab, or dare I say it The Book Q, naa, thats crazy talk on my part. lol

 

But seriously, they need more tablets, laptops etc on that Sprint page.

If this page is to be believed, this could be the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0.

Also, here is the Bluetooth certification page: http://www.bluetooth.com/Pages/Product-Listing-Detail.aspx?ProductID=30344

 

This pretty much confirms it. Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 could be coming to Sprint very soon.

Approved today by the FCC OET:

 

A BandRich BandLuxe M530S LTE/EVDO/CDMA modem module with Tri-Band LTE for future laptop(s) destined to be brought to Sprint.

Ooh, BandRich.  I would be a proud owner of that one.

AJ never jokes around, J. Never. Ever.

He does all the time, we all know that, but it's usually accompanied by an emoticon, that's why I was asking this time.

An emoticon ruins deadpan humor.

Ah, ok.

 

I would actually like to see Sprint release more laptops capable of using their LTE Internet. Mobile broadband cards aren't all that, as we all know.

I doubt that will happen.  Sprint LTE is likely too niche for most laptop OEMs -- unless they are going for an all band configuration.  And I am not sure what is wrong with mobile broadband cards.  But mobile hotspots are where the action is, since they can be used with laptops, tablets, smartphones, cameras, etc.  Plus, they tend to be great RF performers.

That's true, but there are some people who don't like to share their Internet service with their friends. Notice I said "cards", not hotspots. I feel USB mobile broadband devices fall into the cards category because they have to be plugged into the computer, which puts them at risk for breakage, which I have done more than once over the years.

Ouch, you broke your dongle?  Yeah, no guy wants to break off his dongle.

Now there is that emoticon. it came back. :P 

 

I am also one of those that wouldn't mind seeing more laptops with LTE, but I guess a dongle would do to.

I'm still using the Dell 11Z/1121 that Sprint offered a few years ago. Although it is on its last leg.

Dying to get the Samsung Q but if they don't get that patent issue fix, it may never come out.  :mad:

 

Anyway back on topic, with 15 LTE devices deployed in 2012 anyone want to guess how many will be deployed for 2013.

So far we have 12 with 4 coming in the fall, that still leaves winter/end of year.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
