dnicekid Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Of course higher than 2.5 Sprint has all the 2.5 and just about all of it below it is taken isn't it?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avb Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 And that Will be used for coverage? Sent from my 2PQ93 using Tapatalk 5g is more about covering crowded spaces. The person you spoke to has no idea what they're talking about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shannonbrian Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I think sprint has there 5g plans coming together and 2.5 is there starting Fondation . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afazel Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 ... Is there a 5g standard that says band 41 doesn't work? ... No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsnake49 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I don't really see how when it isn't good for coverage. 5G isn't any good without vzw like coverage. Sent from my 2PQ93 using Tapatalk 5G is an overlay not a replacement for LTE. It will be based on small cells since the spectrum proposed for it is not known for propagation.

bigsnake49 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) Here are my thoughts about 5G based on the articles I have read: 1. Not mobility related. The devices will be either stationary or nomadic (think walking) 2. It will be an overlay, an addition to the existing LTE networks not a replacement 3. It will require a new air interface 4. It will be implemented using small cells, inside buildings, in malls, package stores, stadiums, office buildings. 5. It will provide massive bandwidth but also require massive backhaul. 6. It will be implemented in 2.5MHz and above 7. Some of the spectrum will be shared, ala 3.5GHz CBRS band, other owned. 8. Sprint will be the last to implement it, they will adopt a wait and see attitude 9. Not all implementations will be carrier provided. Think cable cos, building and venue owners. 10. At higher frequencies it will require Massive MIMO and Multi-user MIMO as well as Beam Directing Edited November 17, 2016 by bigsnake49 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see that happening!!! Same here! I kinda forgot I had it on and thought well this is about to drop but when I got to the light it was still connected. Nice to see that they got this running in my area atleast. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrph Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I still like see 150 download on averge for lte advance .Must be nice. I'm trying to figure out as to why I no longer get b41 in my area. I get thown on b26 and it's a pain but the b25 is 10x10 so that makes up for it. But I'd rather have my b41 back. Is it possible that Sprint can shut it off for a area after I've had it for over a year now and even added the 2nd carrier to it?

In my case I have no clue. Sprint tells me nothing is wrong with the tower that's less than a mile from me. They even had the 2nd carrier live in my neighborhood since the iPhone 6s was released. All I can do is just keep reporting on the Sprint app and hopefully that shakes some tables. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgor93 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Marcelo Claure and other important executives. If so, I can't imagine them being satisfied with their service. Or do executives of mobile carriers have exclusive VIP roaming agreements with other carriers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do executives of mobile carriers have exclusive VIP roaming agreements with other carriers?They should use it. Not only is it free. They can use the same exact service their customers use. Hopefully they try to solve the coverage and capacity problems. I'm sure near the headquarters and probably all around the headquarters city service is probably great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgor93 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Why do you imagine Claure being unsatisfied. I've had all 4 carriers. Sprint is a distant 4th and it's not even close. T-Mobile blows them away in my area (Baltimore). Sprint is very slow plus T-Mobile and AT&T have HSPA+ as a fallback network, which is a better technology and faster than CDMA (14.4 Mbps minimum max speed vs 3 Mbps). Verizon is CDMA also but they have the biggest LTE network. 4 years into the LTE transition, it's unacceptable to be falling back to CDMA constantly in populated areas. Sprint is the only carrier that this happens to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
