Map of companies working on LTE Upgrades


Recommended Posts

Can anyone tell me where I can find a map of which company is doing the upgrades for Sprint's Network Vision/LTE upgrades? I was told by someone on the Sprint forum to ask in here to get pointed in the right direction to find it. 

 

Thanks for your help.

They were doing fine for the most part until it came to CSFB. 

 

I remember hearing something (and I don't think fine was every used) about them in Louisiana..... :secret:

That's why I said for the most part. And some of the issues in Louisiana was the spacing of the sites to begin with. Not much they can do about that, other than get Sprint to build new sites.

If we had a pot stirring icon I would have used that instead. ;)

In the Lake Charles area ,Ericsson has done a fairly good job except for the early problems getting 1x800 working. I did not have problems with legacy sites at all

All I have to say is Ericsson is delivering on b26. Even with CSFB issues. They still have the most areas with b26.

I found a fix.

 

Nope, not if you want CDMA2000.  Ericsson infrastructure is arguably the best for CDMA2000 because Ericsson holds the intellectual property of Nortel.

I have a question about Sprint's SIM cards are they allowed to be switched into another device. Say I have unlimited 4g data on my sim card can I put it into a Tablet or 4g hotspot and still have access to Unlimited data. Verizon Allowed this when they had unlimited and wouldn't mind doing it if sprint allowed it.

 

 Thanks in Advance.

This doesn't work on Sprint.

This is why we can't have nice things.. This is probably exactly why Sprint requires the ICCID of the UICC and the phone's MEID to match before service will work. Hopefully they will find another way to block this that doesn't also prevent simple UICC swaps between devices.

It's exactly why. ;)

But in online forums, we are supposed to be helping each other band together to beat the system because the wireless man is trying to keep us down.

Sprint to build new sites. Don't see that happening because Son is too worried about buying T-Mobile than he is with Sprint and the problems they are having with their own network.

That's absurd!  Sprint is spending $8 Billion this year and massively upgrading like crazy.  Nothing has stopped.  Masa hasn't Stopped the naetwork upgrades because of Tmo.  Don't come in here and spew BS like that.  It may not be enough for you where you live, but that kind of mass generalization doesn't fly here.

 

NO ONE IN THE COUNTRY IS EXPANDING THEIR NETWORK COVERAGE.  It's not just Sprint.  It's everyone.  And at least Sprint is trying to expand their coverage through the rural network alliances they are forming.

    • 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.
