Impossible. How can SQUARE feet be in a circle? That's crazy talk.

 

It's an approximate of actual coverage in terms of radius from the point of origin (Airave). So yes, it can still be calculated in square feet.

You are, of course, correct. But Sprint is referring to a 5,000 sq ft as your average person would. 70 feet in any direction is about all one can hope for.

 

So what happens when you are in a multistory building? What is the cubic footage of the Airrave?

I say Airave has only one "r" and you say it has two. We will just have to agree to disagree.

I don't know why I keep coming back to this thread. It's like thread porn for me. I can't get enough!

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?

 

You may already know this, but you can verify whether or not you're connected to an Airave by calling *99

 

If you are connected, you'll hear a looping voice message that says 'You are now within Airave coverage'

 

If you're not, it will say 'The feature code is not available', or something along those lines.

 

Give that a try next time you hear the beeps.

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. :(

Yup. In my experience they only reach about two hundred feet. I'm sure the y can hit 500 unobstructed, which is still pretty good when you compare it to wifi signals.

Learned something new. Thanks!

What? 40 to70 feet at best.

If you are going to be a member of S4GRU, you should.

 

I carry a 200 ft tape measure around with me, but it is fiberglass tape. Anyone know where I can get a good steel tape? LOL

The longest steel tape I have ever seen is 25'. I have a 100ft fiberglass tape measure. It is awesome to carry around.

      Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.

      Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.

      No? RCS on Google messages works great for me, messages between anyone with RCS enabled go through with no problems. Don't remember the last time I had an issue. I only have issues with people on iPhones on different carriers from T-Mobile.

      Has anyone experienced a ridiculous amount of difficulty with Google messages with RCS enabled?  It has been a train wreck for me for the past year so I now use WhatsApp.  That works very well for all of us.... Android and iOS.

      Probably not worth the fiddling given that that's a few percent of the band. Also, if they really wanted to push my assumption is there are still guard bands in play for the n41 carriers so they could fit two "100 MHz" carriers into 194 MHz anyway. Looks like minimum guard band is less than 1 MHz and a 100 MHz channel is only 273 30 KHz resource blocks, which is a bit over 80 MHz total, so if they really wanted to pull another 5% or so capacity out they could.
