Well on the Sprint conference call this morning they confirmed 2.5 will be in all current Sprint sites plus Clearwire and they'll be building out more 2.5GHz coverage than there current 38K sitesZoning and such are being done now along with negotiations with their partners who'll be deploying the new 2.5GHz spectrum. They expect it to move faster as back haul should be mostly in place at all sites. More information will be provided as they get further along with planning.

Yep, like I said.

TMO better expand fiber to all their 54k towers because their urban advantage just got annihilated.

Next year all phones released will support all three bands. But they backtracked when asked specifically about Apple's iPhone. I think it'll support it and he realized he slipped up by saying all devices..

Just listened. Begin zoning, leasing and documentation completed.  Working with the vendors for 2.5.  Several thousand sites up based on Clearwire.  However, through 2014 most sites will be able completed faster.

 

% of 38K sites. Close to 100% of sites are expected and truthfully more.  Sprint sites, Clearwire sites and more. Interesting.

 

I hope they work with the OEM's to get these antenna's out for the markets that already have LTE and incorporate going forward.  Very exciting.

Elfman said the company will have a few tri-band handsets in the fourth quarter that will support the company's spectrum holdings in the 2.5 GHz, 1.9 GHz and 800 MHz bands. Beginning in 2014, all of the devices Sprint sells will support the 2.5 GHz band. But Elfman said that comment should be taken with regard to all devices except for the iPhone, which he declined to comment on.

If you listened to the call, he couldn't back track faster.  It was quite funny. 

 

Edit: If you know the phone is going to work, why not throw the promise out there.

My guess is Apple demands to be sole source for any iPhone announcements.

I am very glad to hear about nationwide rollout of LTE 2.5.  I always thought deploying LTE 2.5 as a "hotspot" in only select sites was not a great enough use of the vast 2.5 spectrum resources.  I always thought that every Sprint site could always use that LTE 2.5 extra capacity to offload traffic especially since we can't predict the traffic profile demand in the next 5-10 years.  I really hope they deploy LTE 2.5 on all 38,000 Sprint Network Vision sites and all ~14,000 Clearwire sites.

It is approximately 5,500 Clearwire sites colocated with Sprint.  Or, 40% OF 14,000.

Microwave works just fine for all backhaul needs for the foreseeable future.

There is Fixed microwave in the US at 10.55 to 10.6 ghz - 10.6 to 10.68 ghz - 10.7 to 11.7 ghz.

 

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/45/United_States_Frequency_Allocations_Chart_2003_-_The_Radio_Spectrum.jpg

10,700 to 11,700 MHz is the 11 GHz band.

10,550 to 10,680 MHz has a maximum channel with of 5 MHz, making it useless for telecommunications.

 

Here is the request to make 500 MHz at 10 GHz unlicensed: http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/comment/view;jsessionid=QDLTRQ4XJVlB2zs1j8JZ6QqM9H2QfSJSG21GThprcpYhMX7X1t4H!1291806534!-1272756975?id=6017338776

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
