Markets with legacy Motorola equipment for CDMA/3G

I remember Robert or somebody mentioned awhile ago that there were markets out there that had Motorola legacy equipment for CDMA/3G that was having trouble working with the Samsung's NV CDMA/3G/4G infrastructure in terms of voice handoff so Sprint is trying to work hard to complete those markets to avoid massive service disruptions.

 

From my recollection I remember hearing Chicago and Indianapolis as 2 cities. Are there any other markets that have Motorola legacy equipment? I assume these markets will be high priority on Sprint's list since they don't work well with the new NV infrastructure and want to avoid any massive service disruptions.

Hi,

 

I believe Indianapolis uses Ericsson equipment.

I think that Robert posted an infrastructure vendor list, though I do not recall the thread. Also, you can view the Sprint PCS spectrum catalog that I collated many years ago. It is not the most readable resource ever, but I did track infrastructure vendors per MTA -- separately for corporate and affiliate markets.

So Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Columbus are markets that are converting from Motorola gear to Samsung. Other Motorola markets exist but they're all going to Alcatel-Lucent, which doesn't have the issues that Samsung does with handoffs.

Indianapolis uses Samsung equipment. But I mistook Indianapolis for Cleveland. I knew the other markets besides Chicago that has issues with Samsung equipment were around that area.
