Does eHRPD require any work on site at the towers or is it something they change at the switch that feeds the tower?

I believe the work for eHRPD is done directly at the base of the tower. The only thing that happens is that they first install the LTE core (eHRPD), then they install it to the EVDO technology, so yes most of the work is done at the base of the tower. Some of the backhaul however is done both at the top and bottom of the tower, since i have seen some employees of sprint working all the way on the top of the tower. Im sorry, i wouldnt be the one climbing up on a tower like that, just to install backhaul and newer equipment lol.

Not sure where you've been studying but there is all kinds of wrong with that info...   The new PRL does not enable more 3G roaming. 3G roaming on that PRL is slim to none anyways as it isn't a cor

eHRPD is not a sign of LTE imminence. It is being deployed in some areas way far in advance of LTE.   Robert

If you think about it, all non active Network Vision markets need eHRPD deployed too. Since Ft. Wayne/South Bend are actively being deployed and East Michigan should start any day, Toledo eHRPD needs

I'm getting ehrpd all over York, PA as well as New Oxford, PA

Id say if anyone can post more speedtests of eHRPD, then it could be helpful. Im guessing shortly after eHRPD goes active, the backhaul is added to the site as well. This will help the EVDO network, as well as the LTE network when it becomes active.

I'm seeing it in Sylacauga, Alabama...I know it's been done in the past month, because I have speedtests showing I was on 1xRTT in October, then speedtests showing me on eHRPD on Nov 11.

 

This was a fluke I think in my phone being hung on eHRPD...no voice, but eHRPD data?? Look:

 

 

 

This was true eHRPD, I ran this and speedtest to test it, but speeds are negligible, I've seen faster speeds, but seems like the tower doesn't have the right amount of backhaul yet

 

 

 

Then:

I'm seeing eHRPD in Tacoma and surrounding suburbs (University Place, Lakewood, Puyallup, etc.) This week.

What have your data speeds been like after eHRPD has went active?

No need to visit a site to deploy eHRPD. It just changes the routing inside the network. All handled by software controls.

Having eHRPD on or off has made no diff in speed here, as it just changes routing and control. I HAVE seen increases in both signal (tilt adjustments) and speed (improved backhaul) separately, though, over the past months.

I tested another tower that has gone live with eHRPD this morning and got the highest I've ever gotten in a cellular speedtest (by that, I mean highest download..I've seen upload speeds higher)... which is:

Doesn't seem like much, (and it really isn't much), but for my area and the tests I've seen in the past, it IS a total opposite from what I'm used to.

Your actually somewhat close to my location. Have you noticed any speed improvements?

 

It is too hard to tell, as my phone will connect to EHRPD but will not have any data connection what so ever. Traveled to Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall. and has EHRPD, but still no connection.

I have not seen any presence of eHRPD anymore as of last week. My guess is they were just testing it, but i have noticed some speed improvements in my area. At my home in Chicora, PA, i am sadly stuck on a roaming network(Verizon), and the speeds are horrendous, but when i get close to my school, which is just up the hill from downtown Butler, i see speeds varying from 0.90-1.50Mbps down, but the upload staggers around 0.10-0.35Mbps.

Its been live since the end of October. I know Vegas was live because Pahrump was. What phone do you have?

And now my 3g is in and out, but mostly out. Won't stay connected for more than 20 seconds.

That happens with some sites. To get back to a stable 3G connection you will have to disable eHRPD by changing from CDMA/EVDO/LTE to CDMA/EVDO mode.

Yep. That's what I did. Really strange too. But today was the first day that eHRPD landed in the Central Valley, so I'm excited.

Is anyone else having trouble with the upload on EHRPD? I get a download speed' date=' but when it becomes to a upload, it will freeze.[/quote']

 

My Viper was having that problem, but i can't test again to see until eHRPD starts working properly in Visalia.

I have had this problem several times. Upload will not work on eHRPD, only download. I would not have a clue to what's causing that to happen

Ehrpd sighted in central Iowa!!!! Thinking it happened Friday night as I noticed it during the day Saturday.

 

I do not know if your market is on the third round LTE deployment list or not, but a good indication would be when a significantly bigger market goes live with LTE in your area, and if your close to the bigger market that gets LTE activated, you will probably get it shortly after. Usually sprint lights up the smaller markets directly after initiating a larger market.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      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.
