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

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
