caspar347 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Network tech is just one of those niches that the "mainstream" tech press has always really struggled to cover. It's too complicated and too obscure to justify spending time researching. Of you want reliably correct and in-depth journalism, you're pretty much limited to trade publications. But it does really suck when someone tries to cover it and ends up spreading misinformation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiWavelength Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 And that has always been sprint's weakness. And indignation long has been many current or former Sprint users' weakness? AJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swintec Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 im in nyc this week and will be around world trade with my new bolt (3x CA)...what should i look for in the engineering screens to confirm i am utilizing 3xCA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkoellerwx Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 im in nyc this week and will be around world trade with my new bolt (3x CA)...what should i look for in the engineering screens to confirm i am utilizing 3xCA? Ideally there would be 3 EARFCNs (DL channels) displayed. I do not know if the Bolt engineering screen shows enough information to confirm 3xCA at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAvirani Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 is this related to serving cell and secondary serving cell? ive been seeing a lot of that, but even on band 25. Wait you've seen secondary serving cell on Band 25? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait you've seen secondary serving cell on Band 25? Most likely stale data. Seems to be an issue on HTC and LG devices. The SCC field will fill in while connected to 2xCA on B41, but when dropped back to B25 or B26 the SCC field doesn't clear. You can tell it's stale though because the RSRP SCC values stop updating.

utiz4321 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 And indignation long has been many current or former Sprint users' weakness? AJ You read indignation into that? That is running along way from the words. Has or has not sprint has an awful record, both in a relative sense (compare vzw) and in an absolute sense (missing their own dead lines)? I think there is an objective case that sprint has historically struggled to execute network plans.

laqn1283 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I believe merger between Sprint and tmobile might happen sooner than people think. Fcc Wheeler will step down on Jan 20. After Wheeler steps down, there will be 4 republicans to 1 democrat on Fcc committee. Very likely, merger will be approved. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So even after Trump makes his appointment for commissioner it would still be 3-2 R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Wheeler steps down, there will be 4 republicans to 1 democrat on Fcc committee. Very likely, merger will be approved. As far as the merger is concerned, Trump is very sensitive on the subject of jobs. As you well know, mergers result in loss of jobs. Will the investment fund that Softbank is putting together and the 10,000 jobs it promised be enough to counteract the loss of jobs? Don't know. I thought the time to merge was before both of them spent an ungodly amount of money to deploy LTE. Sprint's Net Debt is around $31B, where as T-Mobile's is $22.4B.

dnicekid Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Now that sprint is picking up steam Masa would sell?!! I don't think so if sprint is rolling he will hold on a little longer. But I think sprint is going to buy at a cheaper price considering they will have to divest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kg4icg Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Sprint's band 41 spectrum had been valued at over $100 billion by itself. Which is why sprint is able to basically do what they are doing with the lease back option borrowing off itself.
