You are still thinking locally rather than globally.  Any international expansion may be handled by Softbank and not Sprint. Additionally, Sprints bandwidth holdings have nothing to do with international expansion AND if the numbers are right includes the cost of entering said markets. It may not make sense for Sprint to enter Mexico and/or Canada but it may make sense for Softbank to do it.

 

I don't care if I am thinking locally instead of globally.  The fact is that Softbank's investment in Sprint is going to take away a lot of financial flexibility for Softbank to just go look into new ventures AT THIS POINT. I never said that Softbank can't ever explore international ventures, I was just saying at this point.

 

Also I don't see the reason why there has to be a sudden urgency to enter the international market?   Even if it is handled by Softbank, what motivation does Softbank have to enter the Canadian market for example?  I won't even mention Mexico since there isn't rumors about Mexican carriers. 

 

It was obvious for Softbank to bid on Sprint because they wanted the vast 2.5 GHz spectrum holdings and the potential it can be used to provide an insane LTE network but what is the motivation for entering Canada?  Is it to try to offer a lower cost option of Canadian cell phone service for Canadian citizens?

What frequency do you own then? Answer me that.

He won't answer because he doesn't want to give away his hand. You'll find out when his service launches commercially, like the rest of us.

These 3 bands will be used first.

 

905-925 20 Mhz TDD, 3652-3672 20Mhz TDD, 3677-3697 20Mhz TDD

I don't get it. You've confused me to no end...

 

Are you an MVNO, or regional?

 

GSM, or CDMA?

 

It takes $100,000 to start an MVNO...

 

Commencing something along the lines of Alltel? We're talking millions...

That's neat. You're gonna' be the next Clearwire.

 

Will you form roaming agreements with Sprint? I'd like that. Not with T-Mo, not with VZW, and definitely not with AT&T.

 

You're on our side right? With unlimited roaming, right?? *wink, wink*

 

Will you be LTE only? Will you implement VoLTE for Sprint use on the 900Mhz freq.?

I am unsure of my road of roaming agreements.  I am most definitely on your side. 

 

Central Valley of California is in dire need of competition if you ever think of expanding over here as Google is not thanks to the "red tape". The various counties are extremely efficient and the cities are a hit and miss but far, far better than those in the bay area or major metros like socal. 

 

Maybe start with West Sacramento, Yolo County, or Sacramento county... 'wink wink'

I was born in San Fran, careful now.  Sac town, Redding, Trinity county, all of Cali.  Give it time, I want wireless EVERYWHERE.

If i had a roaming agreement with Sprint, I would not be in disapproval of trialing VoLte over 900.  An unlimited hotspot? I smell throttling.  The options are manicured data speeds with a cap or unlimited with throttling.  If we left the network's traffic controls untouched unlimited it could get us by for a while, but eventually with full saturation we would be back to square 1. 

 

*edit, not square 1.  Realistically, in an unlimited and untouched (network IP Qos disabled) full unlimited environment with an MSSTDMA setup you will still have a fast connection, but you would be pushed back in the que of any available sector until your slot arrives. It could be 32ms, it could be 250ms.  The biggest difference between a cap and unlimited is the average speed you will see running if your a type who runs the speedtest.net application; which many of us are quite fond of.

Is it possible that the 900MHZ that Sprint has can be interoperable with your 900Mhz?

 

Can I work for your company?

If i moved down to 902 it could be 896-926 all used for Sprint/Eon.  I know there is some low end noise in 902-904 & 926-928; but given the legal power limits within the ISM band an encrypted network will still operate through low interference in those sections.

Hate to let everyone down on this thread, but those spectrum licenses are for

  1. "Light licensed" 3.65GHz. I forget the name of the WiMAX provider that used this spectrum and then went belly-up, taking a lot of BTOP or equivalent funding with them. Was a few years ago. The spectrum itself isn't bad, but there isn't much of it, it's effectively fixed-only (speaking from indirect experience from a telephone co-op that deployed in the band) and you don't have it all to yourself. A license costs under $200 for 10 years nationwide, though you can't operate in 3.65 "Exclusion Zones" around a number of large cities.
  2. Unlicensed 900MHz. This one's a minefield, because the majority of smart meters run in this band. As do a number of existing wireless service providers (WISPs). And, again, not much spectrum there.

Can you run an actual mobile network on either band? All signs point to no...the closest thing you can do is something like Clearwire's desktop modem: a relatively high-powered, self-installed device.

 

Am I saying that this is all a bad idea? Well, no...it's being done to some extent by a ton of WISPs out there. Heck, if I wasn't so busy writing software I'd execute on what's been a dream of mine since high school. But it's no panacea. Unless I'm missing some secret sauce that William knows and I don't (like hardware that's nearly as cost-effective as Ubiquiti gear but much more performant...or almost as performant and in a much smaller form factor).

 

Oh, and you aren't going to find LTE in either of those bands. The LTE airlink is way too fragile to perform well with any level of interference that can't be managed tightly (aka you must have full-on licensed spectrum). For what it's worth, if you could convince Globalstar to let you rent TLPS from them, you could run TD-LTE on that. But none of us here have the money to do that for more than a few days.

 

Lastly, if you're doing fixed wireless, 5.x GHz or MV-DDS spectrum (~12GHz) is preferable to lower bands, due to the capacity available. MV-DDS is actually available in a few (rural) areas on reasonable licensing terms, though most of it is owned by...you guessed it...Dish. 5.x is the same spectrum that 802.11ac routers ramp up on, so it'll get more cluttered as time goes on. But it'll still be usable for high-bandwidth PtMP fixed wireless for awhile yet, and you can actually compete with the lower end of cable on a speed basis. And it's a heck of a lot cheaper to deploy than LTE (the equipment as well as the licenses) or fiber.

Re: Sprint in 900, not gonna happen. That band doesn't work for wideband (anything beyond XX KHz) communications, which is what you'd want in this case. Besides, folks other than the public at large own those channels. Public safety, Sprint, or whoever. You might be able to tune existing 900MHz equipment to send/receive on those frequencies, but then you'd be breaking the law.

    • T-Mobile Fires Back At AT&T After Their Statements On T-Priority
    • 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.

    • FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
