I bet he was referencing a specific tower and not the market in general or he is an idiot. I give it 50-50 odds

I should have been more specific. He may have meant no active work being done at that time on the tower.

Two questions...

 

Why even ask a low level Sprint employee a question about Network Vision when we have far more accurate info here?

 

And why bother posting the employee's response when you know it is wrong?

Sprint chat personnel in my experience are at best "challenged" in their knowledge generally; Sprint would be better served in either 1) improving the knowledge level of these folk or 2) dropping the service altogether; IMHO, they give Sprint a black eye

Because I'm not that experienced and just making sure I was right.

I would wager that employee is incompetent. Sprint employees should be able to see what kind of deployment is going on through the GLANCE system they have access to.

Definitely. And if they know how to read and decipher basic info, it would be glaringly obvious that not only is Network Vision is underway in the entire Ft. Wayne/South Bend market, bit most sites have received at least one upgrade.

LOL. I'm solid but thank you. I did my time in the customer service industry.

 

Yeah, I remember this from college, "Thank you for calling Reno Air Quick Escapes Vacations, this is Robert speaking, where can I send you on vacation today?"

 

When we started flights to Vancouver BC, we had a sudden influx of calls from Canadian Asians. Most of our employees couldn't understand them, but I could. So people would send them to me. My call queue was always extremely high.

 

Thankfully I was promoted out of that department into a non customer service role.

Upon graduation or turning 18, one should have to choose which service they want to enter: military or customer. Either one will chew you up into a different person.

Quite frankly; and not bc of my backgroud, but they should all serve a few years and quit complaining about what they dont have... grow a pair... and some damn respect for those who came before them.

To clarify, All maps here are based on leaked or unconfirmed information (depending on the area and map you are looking at. Sprint's internal Network Even Board that the reps look at, only show NV updates that are expected to take extended time. Upgrades that are on track and can be finished entirely within a small period and with minimal interruption of service are not posted in there. In addition, the NEB only shows currently open tickets, and historical tickets closed within the last 14 days.

 

Also keep in mind just about any corporate company you call, you're not talking to an employee of that company. You're talking to someone that works for a company contracted to operate the call centers for that company. AFNI, Convergys, etc. They're paid close to minimum wage, and deal with people yelling at them all day for nothing they've done. Most have very basic training because turnover in the industry is astronomical (6 months is a long time). Most will just read the script because they don't know what to do otherwise, and if your issue doesn't fit the script, you're screwed. Source: I have many friends that work in call centers for various companies.

I can only imagine the tickets for 4th St @ Laurel in Baton Rouge looks like on that system with all the tickets bigzeto and I have opened on that thing over the years, not to mention recently that one EVDO channel has been broken since November. Or maybe they have just been playing us and not opening tickets on it ;)

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      By RedSpark · Posted

      February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

      FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
