I get three pings/beeps when placing a call. I used to think this was an airave connection but recently it has been happening more often and in places that an airave should not be present. Does anybody know what this is?

Never experienced that. You are not roaming right?

Hmmm. I should not be. I frequent what is probably the best geographical area for sprint signals. Next time it happens I will check to make sure.

And chance it is something on your phone?

Don't think so. It does not happen all of the time. It happened twice today and both times I looked at the screen to see if anything was amiss and everything looked fine. No messages no roaming just a strong sprint signal.

sprint airaves can reach up to 500ft

 

Is that all they can reach? That isn't worth much to me, especially when I count interference with metal wall framing and window tint blocking signals already. :(

as far as i know, but i could be wrong.

 

I just read on Sprint's Airave support page that it is actually 5,000 ft. Of course, that's give or take due to interference.

i just read the same thing lol, i stand corrected.

 

The Airave is used as a 'micro-tower' and boosts a signal up to 5,000 square feet from point of origin. It uses your internet to cary voice services to the switching center. When you make a wireless call and connect to a Sprint tower, that signal is taken and run over a dedicated data line to the central offices (a little more is involved, but for basic understanding...) and then passed along to the next provider or PSTN to complete your call. The airave acts the same, just using less bandwidth since it is only connecting up to 3 calls at a time. Each calls requires approximately 40Kbps of upload and download speed per device during a voice call.

And I just found out the reason it won't work with satellite broadband is too much jitter and some service providers can't support IPsec. :( So much for my idea since I don't have DSL or cable in my neighborhood.

i usually have 4/5 bars around town (i know bars are bad indicators) but the dBm seems good as well ( around 80). Walmart is bad for a signal as well, except in the break room. Center of walmart, im at 100-110 dBm

WalMart is always bad for everyone due to the large amounts of metal used in the buildings. Where I live, I get 4-max bars in town and anywhere from 0-4 at my house, in house it's 0-2.

5000 sq ft.... About 70 ft in all directions.

I personally have an Airave and can verify that this is about correct. Depends on the construction type of the home or business, but the figures are about right. Put one in the center of your home and it will cover the entire home unless you have a very big mansion.

How accurate is the GPS after it is moved away from the window?

I am in a one story home with a drywall type celing with loads of insulation on top of it. Then a standard plywood and shingle roof.

My Airave will sit in the middle of the home and stay locked onto the GPS about 99.99% of the time. It a bad thunderstorm with lots of clouds, it may lose the GPS for a few minutes, but the Airave countinues to work OK. I do not know what happens if the Airave loses GPS for hours. I never experienced that.

No need to confirm. I am always correct.

 

Except that it is about 40 feet in any direction from the airrave as it would be a big circle radiating from the airrave. Area of a circle is determined by pi times the radius squared. Hence 40*40*3.14=5024 square feet. ;)

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      By RedSpark · Posted

      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.

      https://www.yahoo.com/news/dallas-county-completes-first-911-194128506.html - First 911 call/text received over Starlink/T-Mobile direct to cell.  This appears to be in Dallas County, MO.

      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.
