Found the Austin map in the sponsor area, the first three towers I posted are AU73XC460, DA04XC049, and AU73XC461 respectively. Not sure why the tower at 3460 N Lakeline blvd has a DA at the beginning. Robert if you update those with the relative times NV work starts I'll go take pictures as work progresses.

Hi everybody,

 

New guy here.

I'm very interested in these kind of topics, but I'm just learning.

 

I've read a lot about the Sprint's Network Vision, but one question keeps me awake at night.

What the hell happens with all the iDEN base stations that Sprint is shutting down? Do they sell them to other iDEN operators around the world? Sell them back to Motorola (for some form of recycling, maybe)? Sell them as garbage?

Whether the equipment gets scrapped or repurposed for international use would really depend on the health and status of the Nextel/iDEN networks in Latin America.

Thank you.

Do you have any info of what happened with those base stations that have been turned off already?

 

Basically I want to know if there is a business opportunity to buy and recycle them. But the opportunity won't exist if they are already selling them to other iDEN operators, or reselling them back to Motorla.

Last tower looks like a relay site. All I see is four dishes but it's hard to tell with the resolution.

Is that a "stealth" tower?

Here's a pic of a tower that had a Ericsson truck working on it in Corpus Christi, Tx 48b726a4-1ddd-5b3b.jpg

Is Sprint the bottom antenna on that?

Saw some guys working on the lower section of this tower near my house in Corpus Christi, TX. As far as I know, Corpus is not scheduled for NV until 2013 so I'm figuring they're working on the backhaul.
