Hello,

 

Does anyone know when the Roaming agreement will become live so sprint phones can start LTE roaming on its partner networks? I am looking to buy a Nexus 6 as its fully CCA/RRPP compliant. I tried to ask sprint and they just told me to visit the newsroom for updates. its been about 8 months since this was first announced by sprint. 

 

Thanks,

 

John

So it looks like Bluegrass Cellular is showing up as native Sprint coverage now:     Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, you did not hear the news?  Mighty Canada invaded.  We were no match for the Mounties, and we lost Montana -- now known as South Alberta.   AJ

I drove through James Valley Telecom (JVT/NVC) coverage yesterday in Redfield and Aberdeen, SD. Couldn't find any LTE signals on Sprint bands. JVT does have a long 700MHz looking panel on the towers

It takes time for stuff to happen.  lol.  Think about how long its taken Sprint to do the NV upgrades.  So I can imagine that it will still be a bit until they actually are fully CCA/RRPP compliant...

Hello,  I thought this is the whole point of the CCA/RRPP though.  NV upgrades took a while as sprint had to upgrade there own network. with CCA/RRPP sprint is using another providers network that is already built.

I don't know any dates, but, I assume that, once the network itself is in place, it should be fairly easy to implement. It's just an update to whatever the LTE version of a PRL is, correct? Maybe digiblur can give some insight.

Is this program ( thinking mainly of US Cellular ) affected any at all by the 9,000 site expansion plan? Desperately need some US Cellular coverage..

Not affected at all. And we have been hearing increased chatter about USCC joining the Sprint RRPP lately. Maybe coming soon?

And next step is a USCC buyout aka ntelos buyout?

Buyout isn't going to happen anytime soon. Uscc has repeatedly said they aren't on the market. But an rrpp partnership would make a buyout seem like much less of a necessity.

i don't know if it has anything to do with CCA/RRPP or not, but i've been seeing more and more PCI numbers show up in my neighboring cell list that don't belong to sprint. unfortunately all the people i know on other carriers have samsung phones (that don't yet show PCI) so i can't use them to track down the PCI.

 

it used to be i would see 1 here or 1 there and now its almost everywhere i go i'm seeing new PCI that i hadn't seen before. my main 2 guesses are that its USCC that i'm seeing and it has to do with this going live hopefully soon, or verizon has been installing XLTE around here and as more towers get that i'm somehow seeing the PCI from their towers.

much less of a necessity? Remember how we lost [native coverage in] Montana?

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and coule potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
