What is band class 27? I have never seen it before?

It was seen on the EV-DO engineering screen. Data was refusing to work, and It kept saying it was sprint service

That's an invalid band class. CDMA band classes only go up to 21 (starting from 0). UMTS/LTE devices do something similar by identifying as band 0 (which is an invalid band number).

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the "out of index" error might refer to the fact that it's trying a band class ID that doesn't exist and trying to reference a CDMA channel number to it?

Lower 850MHz band for Americas except the US

 

Carriers across the Americas (except the US) have spectrum on the SMR (specialized mobile radio) band and want to migrate from iDEN technology to LTE. Currently, the 3GPP is working on developing the band specification and will approve it as LTE band class 27. To be clear, this has nothing to do with the Cellular 850 spectrum, as these frequencies are below it. These were reserved quite some time ago for SMR usage, and have never been used for anything else..... I found that on http://www.extremetech.com/mobile/135045-what-is-lte-advanced/5 . How did you get on that band if it's invalid lol?

I saw that but It didn't make sense, I did a full reboot, and It disappeared. I was donating plasma and my data stopped working , so I checked the Engineering screens to check to see if I saw something similar to Digi's Channel 100, and saw that...Not sure How it happened though. It was perfectly fine on signal check too!

Yes What I thought, but it is a band class In south/rest of North america. Thought possibly a mistake or software error

It is in terms of 3GPP band classes, not 3GPP2 band classes. CDMA band classes are defined by the 3GPP2, and they go from 0 to 21. 3GPP band class 27's equivalent band class in 3GPP2 is band class 10. 3GPP2 band class 27 doesn't exist (yet).

Typically with CDMA, they are referred to as "Band Class" whereas with LTE, they are commonly referred to as just "Band."

 

For instance with SMR, it is CDMA "Band Class 10", whereas it is LTE "Band 26."

 

Referencing them only this way will help people to know which actual band/technology you may be referring to and help eliminate confusion.

I see that my brainwashing has succeeded.

      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.
