Dear Ericsson if you are reading this please turn on LTE and/or 800SMR (1X) by the first week of September it can be any cell tower in Mt. Pleasant, Tx.

 

It will be a nice birthday present.

Greetings, I am son of Eric the Red.  I do not grant birthday wishes.  I am too busy sailing the North Atlantic and managing the Sprint network.

 

Signed...

You mean the ONE tower in Mt. Pleasant, Tx!  LOL

Hay there's more than ONE, there is 3 of them and one hasFiber, it was installed on 6/20/2013.

And the EvDO has not been working since they changed the NID from 5 to 311 on it (the one on FM 1735).

Well by Sprints definition of a city its just a wide spot in the road and people usually don't live in that area just work there.  Sprints past ideas of coverage is just crazy.  I hope they expand and fill in some of these gaps.

Brian, sorry to be the bearer of reality, but Sprint could have no native service at all in little, rural McAlester, and that would not matter to Sprint as a whole.  So, be happy for what you have.  Yes, SMR 800 MHz will expand coverage.  But if that does not work for you, then do not complain.  It will get you nowhere.  Just find an operator that does work for you.

I understand that, but if they plan on matching the Verizon foot print by 2016 they'll need to expand or buy USCC.  Oklahoma has lost a large part of native coverage in the past two years.

Sprint will not match the VZW footprint.  That is a pipe dream.  VZW bought that footprint.  Sprint would have have to build most of it.  Not gonna happen.

I know its talk, but they can buy some people out now and expand the coverage.  We'll see how this plays out over the next two years.

 

This statement...

 

If the network isn't good, customers are going to complain, Mr. Son said, adding that Sprint will seek to pull even with Verizon in high-speed coverage in about two years.

 

...is widely misinterpreted.  Even with SoftBank money, Sprint has no chance of pulling even with VZW coverage breadth in five years, let alone two years.  The sensible translation of that statement is that Sprint will *try* to match VZW coverage and speeds in major markets within two years.

      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

      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.
