has anyone noticed that Sprint has changed their coverage map and now include 'Recent' Towers

and 'Future' towers i presume these are they old Nextel iDen sites that they are converting?

They have had that for years.

 

I have seen several future sites but they were later cancelled.

Whose knows they could be back on the table. 16 billion in 2 years is alot of base stations.

 

When NV was first planned out. I think it was 6 billion for the whole network and that included lightsquare spectrum.

They have shown new and future towers for sometime, you just have to be lucky enough to stumble across the right area while zoomed in pretty far. 

 

how do find this map all I get is colored one.

 

You have to be zoomed in pretty far, and be in the right spot to see them. There is not a lot to be found.

I got you a "new and future tower" right here...

Cell sites, guys, sites, not "towers."

Hey man, that's a beautiful tower. I see it during my morning commute daily.

If you are going to roll your eyes at me, then I will have to send in Bruce McGill from "The Insider"...

The "panels" terminology drives me nuts as well along with this one.

 

I have no problem with the "panel" terminology.  Each one contains numerous antennas, so you cannot really call the whole an "antenna."  Otherwise, how do you refer to the antennas within the "antenna"?

To be fair, the maps do show little tower icons.... :P

 

I got suckered into it. I usually say 'sites.'

 

But Digi, you can't convince me to not say 'panels' ... :P

Elements or bands since they do refer to them as multi-band antennas.  I haven't seen any manufacturer, permit, etc refer to them as panels, they always state antennas.  Even the crews I've talked to call them antennas.  I guess I think the same way they do, as a panel usually having a door and houses some sort of junction of cables.  I could show you some pictures of panels that Sprint uses for network vision, they have Corning and AT&T logos on them though ;)

Okay, calling the internal antennas "elements" is technically correct.  I can get used to that.

Can't you call them Antenna arrays?

Panel!  Panel!  Panel!

These types of panels are becoming very popular in Phx. My parents had several of them installed last year on their house.  They haven't had a power bill over $9 (yes, nine dollars) since.   And, that's on a 6000+ sq ft house with 3 5-ton air-conditioners set at 75 in the brutal Phoenix summer heat!

      Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.

      Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.

      No? RCS on Google messages works great for me, messages between anyone with RCS enabled go through with no problems. Don't remember the last time I had an issue. I only have issues with people on iPhones on different carriers from T-Mobile.

      Has anyone experienced a ridiculous amount of difficulty with Google messages with RCS enabled?  It has been a train wreck for me for the past year so I now use WhatsApp.  That works very well for all of us.... Android and iOS.

      Probably not worth the fiddling given that that's a few percent of the band. Also, if they really wanted to push my assumption is there are still guard bands in play for the n41 carriers so they could fit two "100 MHz" carriers into 194 MHz anyway. Looks like minimum guard band is less than 1 MHz and a 100 MHz channel is only 273 30 KHz resource blocks, which is a bit over 80 MHz total, so if they really wanted to pull another 5% or so capacity out they could.
