BlueAngel Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I've looked but couldn't find the answer I was looking for but will my signal strength get better in places where it's not so good now once 800 CDMA is turned on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaQue Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 No one can say foy sure but in general 800 dies better inside and usally covers a bit further. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 4 Beta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imex99 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 A few of local towers in Granville, oh are 3g/800 nv accepted. I picked up 800 once.... Think they were testing it and shut off until after the iden shutdown? Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 4 Beta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiWavelength Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 That's what she said Hey, if it is "outdoor penetration," it often has to be quick.

mozamcrew Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 They're removing most of them from its network: 68k towers to 39k towers. That's where much of the cost savings from NV is coming from: removing redundant towers. With Direct Connect on CDMA SMR 800 MHz, Sprint has no need for the Nextek towers. Also, Direct Connect will be available even while roaming on VZW albeit with possibly some additional latency in the call setup. Also, you know they don't own any of those, right? They lease them. I don't think Sprint outright owns any of its towers. Someone else on forums said some of the Nextel lease agreements were really bad and that on many of the towers, Sprint was sole leasee. So, maybe once the site owner sees that they have an empty tower, they'll give Speint better lease rates and Sprint will come back to that tower. I know most of the towers are leased as a rule, but I thought sprint still owned the old Qwest towers in Montana and the Dakotas, plus the odd ones here and there that they built themselves for some reason (maybe they there were no good options for leasing a tower in a particular area?). Did they sell those all off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprint an Verizon on same tower I keep loosing 4g and Verizon stays on it maybe 3 bars but not dropping it. As for distance a little more not like miles more unless its a flat open valley maybe.

digiblur Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I think goes in with exactly what some of you were iDen phones were seeing where calls didn't work then later it was No Service on the display: "The end of the network didn’t come with flip of a switch, but rather with the dispatch of software code, Sprint network chief Bob Azzi said Monday. Just after midnight local time in the U.S., an initial script was sent to stop calls from working on the network and then over a few hours another set of code turned off the actual radios at more than 20,000 remaining Nextel sites. That process rolled with the time zones every hour as the clock struck midnight."

So this seems to imply that the radios were remotely shut off so that it would stop broadcasting the signal. I know Sprint still needs to send folks out to turn off the power, remove T-1 backhaul and cabinets for the OPEX savings but if this means that CDMA 800 can be launched faster because the 800 MHz signal all over the US is no longer being broadcasted then this is good news. I still think it will be a few weeks before we see a large acceptance of 800 CDMA sites but I am hope I am wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
