IT'S THE WiMAX COUNTDOWN!!!

It only affects it in a few select cities. Mainly New York City. That's about it. Nearly everywhere else, Sprint already has 2 B41 carriers online w/CA, not only on Sprint sites but on capable Clear sites as well.

Dayton Ohio it affects also

No they do not. Cincinnati does, but not Dayton and surrounding areas.

Dayton is an Expedience market. Not WiMax. Has the expedience network not been shut down?

 

I see there is at least one site within the Expedience area that has 2 carriers, so I am not sure that the Clear network is what is impeding the 2nd carrier deployment.

That's what I thought also. But as of yesterday at 6pm still only 1 carrier

Miamisburg. See the Cincinnati premier map for the exact site.

I can guarantee that site doesn't have CA. I connect to said site on a daily basis, that is error in info

Or it was live for a brief time before it was shut down?

 

Someone should try to confirm that the expedience netowrk is still on. I assume it will be shut down on the 2nd, since I do not see Dayton on the list of cities posted earlier.

Any idea when the shutdown is for cities not on the list? Such as San Francisco, Oakland, and Sacramento?

That's odd. The other California cities are on the second date, so that would be my guess. Just a guess though.

The ommission of San Francisco and the Bay Area at large is noteworthy and makes us wonder what the dealy-o is.

Near my home I get b41 but it's a clear tower so with the shutdown will my speeds increase?

Yeah, it's an odd omission. Perhaps we'll see if/when Sprint updates its coverage map for WiMAX as cities are shut down.

I'd like to think so, at least a bit. My clear site is 4 blocks from my house. I guess I'll find out sometime after tomorrow.

Is it currently broadcasting both carriers? If it is, then probably not.

Yea I used my brothers galaxy S6 with signal check and it showed up as clear b41.

But did you verify seeing both carriers? Use the engineering screens to confirm different EARFCN.

I'll have to look again I his phone. I did a quick look

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). They do have a reserve level. Nationwide 800Mhz is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  T-Mobile did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, FWA Mobile in RVs in Walmart parking lots working where mobile phones need all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71, 90% 5g.  93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77 also with its shorter range.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline June 1 for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio covering 27500-28350Mhz expiring 6/8/2028. No reported sightings.  Buildout notice issue sent by FCC in March 5, 2024 https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/letterPdf/LetterPdfController?licId=4019733&letterVersionId=178&autoLetterId=13060705&letterCode=CR&radioServiceCode=UU&op=LetterPdf&licSide=Y&archive=null&letterTo=L  No specific permits seen in a quick check of Columbus. They also have an additional 200Mhz covering at 24350-25450 Mhz and 24950-25050Mhz with no buildout date expiring 12/11/2029.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
