How many Sprint LTE Markets will Sprint have by the end of this year until the complete cycle in 2014? Will it be less than AT&T and VZW, or about the same?

 

According to the running list:

 

http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/212-network-visionlte-deployment-running-list/

 

Sprint should have at least 47 markets up and running or in progress by the end of this year. And I believe sprint's stated that they will have NV rolled out to most of its existing footprint by the end of 2013. That means it'll still be smaller than Verizon. I don't know how it'll compare to ATT.

If you use Sprint market boundaries (which are much larger), then Sprint has 48 Sprint Markets that have WiMax in at least part of them. And it took Clearwire 3-1/2 years to deploy partially in 48 Sprint markets. Whereas, Sprint is scheduling to deploy NV/LTE completely in 97 markets (98 if you include affiliate Shentel) in just over 2 years.

I think the last count I remember from Clearwire was something like 71 or 72 markets.

 

That's Clearwire markets. Which are very small. Clearwire counts markets like how Verizon does. :lol:

I thought Verizon had much different market boundaries than Sprint does.

I know, but a sprint wimax phone will work just the same. Plus Sprint owns the majority of clearwire so....

They do. But Clearwire counts markets more similarly to the way Verizon does, and nothing like how Sprint does.

Yes. But the point of the post I was responding to was comparing Clearwire WiMax deployment and Sprint LTE deployment, so the differences in how they count markets needs to be explained when comparing the two deployments.

So, after the 2014 deployment of 98 markets, will Sprint invest to have more markets? 100 Markets is somewhat low, don't you think? Sprint really needs to try to get markets for 3G and 4G that Sprint currently doesn't have covered.

If Sprint counted markets the way Verizon does, Sprint would have 400+ markets. It's just a geographical boundary thing. Sprint's markets are much, much larger than Verizons.

I'm not certain. But based on their press releases, it seems pretty similar to Verizon.

      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 could 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.
