belusnecropolis Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Nifty quotes about network architecture changes. http://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/news/2016/12/08/sprint-ceo-hints-at-upcoming-network-improvements.html Saw said an addendum to the 3rd Generation Partnership Project's (3GPP) standards for 2.5GHz spectrum could boost uplink and extend the mid-band spectrum's reach. “What that means for customers is they’re going to enjoy more 2.5 performance capability over a larger area,” Saw said at the conference. “We’re going to have more to say about that in the next week or so.” OH MAN Mr. Tim, is this possibly some of that aggregation wizardry, where 1.9 channels are used for uplink? thanks for clearing that up!

swintec Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 “What that means for customers is they’re going to enjoy more 2.5 performance capability over a larger area,” Forget about giving "more"...hopefully us users with "none" will get "some" out of this. i dont even care about carrier aggregation I just want to see band 41 on my phone be displayed once while around town or even just some where in the state. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenbastard Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 No. HPUE. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk First batch of phones to allow this should be expected by early to mid 2017, correct? I remember reading about this a while back. It was part of the 3GPP Release 14, so current phones wont benefit from extended B41 coverage. But on the bright side, today's phones should benefit from the newer phones spending less time on B25 and B26 and freeing up that spectrum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiWavelength Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Double the transmit power from the UE. Conducted power, not necessarily transmitted power. We already have some handsets that top 23 dBm EIRP on band 41 by way of antenna gain. But if the antenna gain is shitty, an increase to 26 dBm conducted power easily could get attenuated back down to 21-22 dBm EIRP.

derrph Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Jan 8th Samsung is pushing out a software update to the remaining Note 7 out in the wild so that they can't hold a charge. Why haven't better yet why are people still holding on to this phone? I understand it costs a lot but is it that serious to possibly catch something on fire? http://newsroom.sprint.com/blogs/devices-apps-and-services/sprint-samsung-galaxy-note7-exchange-update--dec-9-2016.htm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red_dog007 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 So Samsung has decided to go with the Nuclear Option for the remaining Galaxy Note 7 devices! Something like 5 Nvidia Shield tablets batteries swelled up (I don't think they exploded like the Note 7 did, but got hot and caused some burns) and Nvidia did a full recall on them. 80,000 tablets. Few weeks later they pushed an update to brick the units. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suddenly they feel the need to show solidarity...with the idiots that want their 60% charged note 7 instead of returning it as they should.

It isn't a good idea to suddenly cut people off from even being able to make emergency calls. Except here in America when the consumer is an idiot, they can usually sue and end up winning. Besides if their cell phone catches fire, how would they reach emergency services anyway?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caspar347 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Hmm. Info on the LTE Airave equivalents and when they're gonna fix the GMOs. But I think we all know the answer to the latter. And I might ask about the network chain of command at Sprint. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
