I found that backhaul Sprint is missing. https://www.dropbox.com/s/eyo5ieyha24ipm4/IMG_29587971636561.jpeg   Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk

You would have to climb up in a lead suit.

Yes you should read in to that. Publicly, right here in this thread.

We're a fixed wireless trade association. Shentel does mobile wireless (with Sprint, IITC). Are they embarking on fixed wireless? I kmow Sprint and or Dish has been working with someone that way regarding fixed wireless, but I thought it was someone else.

It can.

 

Doesn't mean it will.

 

It will depend entirely upon both the carriers' and device makers implementations at both ends (device and network).

Since @sensorly doesn't have its own forum, I thought I'd ask here.

 
Does the device have to be activated to map the signals? If so, I guess I could get prepaid versions and just not actually use them.
 
My thought is to get used phones on various networks and run Sensorly on them as I drive around. Later I put them on WiFi and upload the measurements. I now have accurate maps showing approximate tower locations and weak coverage areas.
 
The general public could use this as part of their carrier analysis. I'd use it to find where there may be people upset with how slow their hotspot or just general data use is and sell them my Internet.  ;-)

While negotiating services being delivered to a prospective client with many locations, I was told they have roughly 10/2.5 unlimited access from Clear for $55/month. Any insight on that service and how it is likely to change with Sprint migrating over to data packages for non-handsets? They obviously can't get legacy Clear in a lot of locations and a mobile network isn't as reliable\consistent as a fixed network, which is why we're talking in the first place. If that plan was going to be cut off soon, that's ammo I could use.

I know there is a discussion related to this topic here http://www.s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/6285-Does-Sprint-have-plans-for-service-for-WiMax-home-customers-when-the-network-shuts-down?

Sprint and Dish are working on a fixed wireless broadband trial in Corpus Cristi, but Ntelos and Dish are offering service already in Ntelos's territory.

Frak... all backhaul to a tower goes down. Call the city. In his bumbling I determine that there are people onsite now building a temporary tower as the one I'm on is getting painted and gear is being moved. Thanks for the warning.

 

Idiots... I get there and people were fucking with the breaker panel. I check my gear and it is off. They're speaking an Eastern European language. When they're done with the panel, I reset the GFCI. Everything comes back. It would have started beeping immediately when they started messing around and beeped for hours. "Did that reset?" "Yes." "Do you not have a backup?" "Yes, it would have been beeping like that for hours." "Oh." Fucker

According to a posting that went up today on the FCC’s official blog, the start of the incentive auction is now being pushed back to “early 2016.”  Here is a link to the blog posting: http://www.fcc.gov/blog/incentive-auction-progress-report.  The new timeline is mentioned towards the end.

The link comes up empty -- Did the FCC pull the post for some reason?

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      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.
