Verizon to start refarming PCS spectrum for LTE in 2015

[WiWavelength]

Until I see visual proof, I am not buying that VZW is already replacing standalone band 13 Lower 700 MHz panels after only two years of service. VZ shareholders would go apeshit over that CAPEX. Instead, I expect VZW to string along upgrades as long as its market share dominance allows. That helps prop up the quarterly results.

The pic I've posted is from my own market, near my house, and to my eye those panels look exactly the same, with added RRUs. Looks like they have 4 ports at the bottom, which could mean that the panel itself supports both 700 and AWS. Definitely interesting.

That's probably when I expect Sprint to start refarming their PCS A-F holdings.

 

I expect sprint to use excess a-f as soon as nv phase one complete. If you mean refarm existing Evdo usage, your timeline makes sense to me.
