15 New Cities to Officially Launch LTE on Sunday, 12-16-2012


Recommended Posts

Thanks, hoping to see some more NV upgrades on the NW area of the Indianapolis market soon, I thought there would have been at least 1 more tower upgraded in this area prior to launch, still pretty sparse at this point. Good coverage over the Carmel area though.

Rage rage... Can't wait for the Los Angeles launch.

 

and a wider OC buildout...and launch...and hopefully a viable connection where I need it.

Sprint has launched Chicago. It's on their coverage maps over the whole city. That's official to me. I changed them to launched on the NV Running List.

 

Even though they aren't complete, they are farther along in the Chicago market than even any other Sprint market. Launched or not.

Maybe I missed it, but the last time I saw Chicago included in an announcement, it specifically said it was only for the suburbs, not the city. Does anyone have an official quote?

I don't think it gets more official than adding it to the coverage map. I don't think there has been an official Press Release on the subject. And there may never be. But a Press Release is just a snapshot in time. There is nothing different about the network the day before or the day after any announcement.

 

And right now, Sprint has more square mileage of LTE coverage in the Chicago metro area than Verizon or AT&T did when they launched LTE in Chicago. And there are more square miles of Sprint LTE coverage than WiMax coverage now. What more do we want? And they are even still deploying. Sprint may be waiting until 100% coverage before they say something further about Chicago.

 

I don't know why we get caught up on the launched announcement. It just doesn't mean anything, really.

I wish for a well-done Omaha steak before dessert.

 

But seriously, it's all about the roll of the dice, or how the wheel is spun.

Personally, I'd rather go to Puerto Rico than Omaha. We will not tolerate market bashing or play the 'we're better than that market BS.'

    • T‑Mobile Shatters World Record for 5G Uplink Speed https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/t-mobile-shatters-for-5g-uplink-speed The biggest news in this is that T-Mobile only recently got access to n258 after swapping their n260 for it with AT&T and they wasted no time deploying it at SoFi Stadium. Hopefully that means we're gonna start seeing a lot more mmWave deployments in stadiums soon. *fingers crossed*
    • Would anyone else be curious in helping me compile a list of quirks for various devices/modems/chipsets for SCP? I've noticed that Mediatek chipsets seem to report more information than Qualcomm. I bought a cheap Moto G 5G 2024 and notice that it displays the LTE downlink bandwidth, and the NSA information of T-Mobile, something that my S22+, which is also Qualcomm, won't do. I'm hoping that we can convince either Google or OEMs to fix their reporting on various devices. So far across all Qualcomm devices I've tested: - NR neighbor cells don't report - NR downlink or uplink bandwidth doesn't report (NR doesn't appear with CA as a result, only showing LTE) - NR signal levels randomly stop updating for various period of time before continuing to update (affects CellMapper more) - LTE CA levels randomly report and don't always update quickly when CA changes   On the S22: - LTE Timing Advance (TA) doesn't work and always reports 0, reported issue to Samsung and waiting to hear back   On the Samsung Galaxy S series (USA - Qualcomm Snapdragon): - LTE downlink or uplink bandwidth isn't reported - T-Mobile NR NSA doesn't report band information, AT&T & Verizon work OK (n5 & n77 tested)
    • Definitely. There are still a handful of Sprint sites here that haven't been decommissioned yet but also haven't been upgraded yet and they're offline. I think T-Mobile really wants to keep them but for one reason or another is running into trouble.
