What do you guys think lol?

Oh and lets not forget sprint likes to go green huh? make it solar powered also!

 

That solution would never work because the Airave only supports 6 calls per device it'd probably cause tons of dropped calls because the Airave doesn't transfer calls from the Macro Network to it or from it to the Macro Network anymore.

Yeah. I was thinking that the same thing would happen. But if they can put cell extenders which rely on the Marco tower and boost the strength that'd be good enough.

 

They do that now, called repeaters, which are the bane of any network designer's existence. 

 

Repeaters take available spectrum and capacity from existing sites, and push it to inbuilding locations, causing a capacity strain on the macro serving cell. 

 

Femtocells are the way of the future, and Sprint offers Enterprise Grade ones now, which support 30+ users.

Or they could have like Solar Powered repeaters setup in trees/rooftops/stop lights even in coconut trees. we have alot in Hawaii and you can just about stick anything on there i saw AT&T Wifi setup their 'Free brodband' near the mall in a tree

What happens when it is overcast a lot and the battery runs out?

Just have a battery backup supply. But the backhaul would be a problem. It would be more efficient to pay the bit of change to just get its own backhaul thru wire or othermeans. They wont waste the 2.5 ghz spectrum for backhaul.

I have attached a Sprint Airave to a tethered AT&T phone on 3G coming from a signal repeater.

 

It worked and worked well but it was impractical as the AT&T phone couldn't be moved. It was a fun experiment though.

Good points. Well never mind. Guess that we'll have to get better technology for big buildings that have more than 30 + people.

Keep in mind that is 30 simultaneous voice and data connections. It can have far more phones associated with it.

 

I believe airaves can have 50 or 60 phones associated with them, but only 6 simultaneous data or voice connections.

 

I have deployed airaves in busy classrooms with 70+ students in the area and our staff are able to still place calls with them.

 

The reason airaves don't make good in building solutions is they do not work when more than one airave is in an area or when phones can see more than one.

      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.

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
