Verizon to start refarming PCS spectrum for LTE in 2015

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.

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
