I've been getting regular LTE coverage at home off Hazel near Sunset for the last month. I had a few moments of LTE at work near Madison and Dewey back in December, but nothing since then. I'm sure it's just a matter of time. I used to get decent WIMAX speeds there when I had an HTC Evo. I have an LG G2 now and have enabled all three bands (25,26,41). The priority is currently set in that order. Is this the best setting for our area, or should I turn off one any of the bands and/or change the priority? I do update the PRL regularly.

At this time, would it be beneficial to purchase a triband/Spark Sprint phone, i.e. would it be able to pick up more than one band?

Yes. Anyone who stays with a single band or dual band (iPhone 5s/5c) device is asking to have a miserable experience.

 

There is not enough pcs spectrum here to deploy a second pcs lte carrier and smr 800 is limited as well.

 

What we do have here is an existing clear network that can be utilized in place to give immediate capacity offloading via band 41 TDD LTE (spark) while in the long run it'll be sprints own network deployment with the new 8 pipe radios and advanced technologies with band 41 that'll keep the user experience pleasant.

If that's the case, I'm hoping the new iphone will be triband/Spark enabled. ????

Asaguy, I just checked Sprints coverage map...still shows 3g to me

thats what i mean't. As in NV 3G in all of sacramento is now live, not LTE. Everyone on the forums were talking about a sacramento cluster launch occurring a few days ago and sprint updated their map to show the cluster did in fact come alive.

So LTE shouldn't be too far away, mid - October IMO.

 

I just can't wait for LTE deployed over 800mhz. Better LTE speeds and better coverage. Any thoughts on when 800 LTE might be up?

I'm confused....we already have had 3G

Cluster launched simply means that all the hardware has been changed with the new equipment. Has no bearing on LTE. LTE follows (after a few weeks typically) after a cluster launch.

Lots of clear b41sites that have been turned off for a while. Once those goes back live they can announce it as spark.

Clear.

 

They were not upgraded to sprint standard.

 

Some have upgraded backhaul and tops out at 40-60 Mbps and others have old wimax backhaul and tops out at 10-20 Mbps.

 

Sprints own 2.5 will easily reach 100/14.7.

That is correct.

 

The existing clear network is ran on Huawei equipment which can be software upgraded for band 41.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and coule potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
