I know for a fact there is expansion happening that isn’t shown on that map so I’m unsure as to how accurate it is. 

Sprint does have its secret projects.

For sure... this map.was pre-merger fallout so plans have probably gotten bigger or one can hope.

I thinks Sprint ends up exaggerating enough on its own, primarily due to changed priorities given limited funding. Therefor I am primary focused on what the guy in charge of the money says.  And even that is limited to the areas where they figure they can gain market share.

Indeed it does have secret projects.

Curious how much Gilat will factor into Sprint’s network expansion over the coming years.

Care to shed some light on the areas you know of that’s not shown on the map ? I would love to know so I can get an idea of what to expect moving forward

Interesting interview with VP of Technology at Sprint.

Even offers some insight on Massive MIMO hardware being software upgradable to 5G.

With that in mind, how long until our current B25/26 + B41 antennas are obsolete and need replacing again? 

It seems like the current hardware is very future-proof and can be upgraded via software updates to support many of the emerging technologies that are coming out.

Mostly a rehash of the last conference. 

It was kind of cool that he mentioned twice that he wanted to talk about the network plans before they actually go to that point. It Points to some excitement with in the company for the or plans or messaging they want the markets to hear.

Agree BUT I still think less talk or boasting till the switch is flipped. Just my 2 cents

We have seen a bunch of permits from Sprint, so the light has moved from red to yellow.  When we see work occurring, we will say the light is green.

Here’s the transcript from Tarek’s talk yesterday:

Some typos in there but gives a good overall sense.

Otherwise, you can re-stream it: https://cc.talkpoint.com/barc002/120617b_as/?entity=57_TOKIY46

Glad to see that other cable partner discussions are happening. I would love to see one with RCN for DC.

Why is this still a thing with Sprint

SO I guess Pokemon GO is still a thing to the point Sprint giving out poke coins or whatever if you switch to Sprint. I Just don't see why they (Sprint) are trying to make this a thing still. I'm sure the majority has moved on from PG besides the younger kids. SMH.

I just want Sprint to execute all this tech within their footprint. Innovation is cool and is needed for Sprint to have a future. Just execute the d**n play.

exactly actions speak louder then words.

As do I, and many, many others. Pokemon Go is a VERY big "thing," in fact they're releasing another massive update here soon and is not dying off anytime in the near future. It's a great way to get people up, moving and have fun!

And for Sprint, it's a great marketing tool to bring players in by the stores and kiosks to get their items from their Poke-Stop.

So what are everyones thoughts about the Sprint VoIP patent lawsuits targeted at cable... I think the reason for the lawsuits is backhaul. If they can have a settlement on the patent infringement they can gain backhaul with what is owed to them. I think that might be the play there. I see they are going after Charter and Mediacom.

Yeah 3rd gen just popped loving it, I'm also in a raid group on Discord we have a blast and are actually all getting together soon for a holiday party. Made some cool friends with this game.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
