Look on the bright side, the international version has no LTE.  At the very least, the Sprint variant will beat that by one band.

Yeah... Unless they changed their minds and decided LTE is just too expensive to put in this phone. So instead they release it with only EVDO support... or worse, only 1X!   :P

Tweeted Sprint if the Note 3 was tri-band and they said they have no news on it. The customer rep probably doesn't know much about it though.

The Sprintcare twitter folks probably said.. "Tri what? Let's have this guy update his PRL and profile. That fixes everything."

Nice! Thanks, AJ!  You beat the official S4GRU FCC OET Reporter to break this news! Off with his head! ;)

SEEE!!!! All those folks that were panicking this morning because Sprint didn't scream triband LTE in their press release (even though the LG G2 press release didn't scream triband LTE) or Samsung didn't mention triband in their livestream were overreacting.

 

I feel like I was one of the few on here that was calm about the triband LTE thing and was confident in Sprint that they will pull through.

Dang no SVLTE.  Ah well.  It was expected right.  I hope its not a deal breaker for those looking to get the Note 3.  I highly doubt the HTC One Max will have SVLTE either so I wouldn't hold your breath.

 

Another interesting tidbit.  Samsung finally broke that horrible trend of only supporting 5 MHz bandwidths on Band 25. WOO HOOO.  Band 25 support for 3, 5 and 10 MHz!!!!!

So... LG G2, Note 3... HTC, your move. Glad that we are getting nice Tri-band options.

 

I might be leaning towards the Note 3 more than the G2, though, purely from the fact that this phone is more likely to get *official* CyanogenMod support than the G2 (just judging from the Note 2 and Optimus G beforehand). I absolutely hate TouchWiz, but Samsung (with Qualcomm) devices get such good dev community support. That was the main reason I ditched the Epic 4G Touch for a Galaxy S 3 in the middle of my contract. That 5.7 inch screen size though... There doesn't seem to be a perfect device for me yet.

Now, let me give you a topic.  The tri band Galaxy Note 3 has no SVDO, nor SVLTE.

 

Talk amongst yourselves...

Alright AJ... Now that you just totally messed with me the last 5 minutes -- I expect an article on the wall NOW!

 

Hey, hold your horses, pal.  I am already working on it!

Hasn't it been decided that SVxxx is pretty much a thing of the past?

At least 10 MHz bandwidths are supported now on Band 25 and broke that Samsung LTE phone trend.

lol sweet... the biggest thing (besides if it HAD triband) would be what the FCC docs show for the QUALITY of those bands on the device, right?

Its pretty good actually.  The Band 41 LTE signal quality is much better and stronger than the LG G2.

The output numbers on the max and nominal dbm values of the SAR report look nice.  Combine that with the little larger antennas and once gain the Note series should be a RF beast!   I will be waiting for AJ's layman's terms on that even though I know from the past experience the output numbers only equal so much of the puzzle.

 

Could be a good Christmas present for myself but I don't expect 800 LTE for at least another 6 months here and 2.5 maybe 1 to 1.5 yrs.  No reason to jump on it right away just yet. I'll be able to watch all the RF comparisons from you guys before I pull the trigger.

The only thing that bugs me about the FCC docs is in the "RF exposure info part 1" doc is that the dimensions of the phone look way off.  How can the phone only be 61.8 mm wide and 124.9 mm tall?  

 

According to the official specs it should be 79.2 mm wide and 151.2 mm tall.

What about the other bands -- how do they compare to other phones (such as my EVOLTE)...

      Are you sure that's Direct to Cell? That sounds like the 911 center was offline and they got brought back online via a Starlink uplink. Which also makes way more sense than Direct to Cell for that area.

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      By RedSpark · Posted

      February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.
