Turboxsloth Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) So this year our town decommissioned a big water tower. Not to long after as I live 2 blocks away I talked to the men that where hooking up equipment and they said they are installing att, Verizon putting panels up and had backhaul installed really fast. Question is why didn't sprint take up on doing this? It's on top of a huge hill in the center of town?

I think they're primary focus right now is completing NV 1.0 and pushing through NV 2.0 and NV 2.5. Until 1x800 and LTE 800 is deployed in their planned areas, you may not see many brand new (non-conversion) site additions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Having a CDMA site at the highest point in town isn't always the best for RF planning as it can cause interference for the other sites in the cluster.

joshnys8913 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Plus unfortunately AT&T and Vzw have the money and are usually tied to local government, city/towns for there services, an example EMS/Fire, Police.... Sprint may have a few county or cities that use them for there provider. Another unfortunate thing is that AT&T (well not so much AT&T anymore), and Vzw own there own towers (well not ALL of them but you know what I mean...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
