IT'S THE WiMAX COUNTDOWN!!!

They (Sprint) might use those nice little tri-band panels that they have on certain sites to get both B41 and full NV bands on it too, depending on how close to another Sprint site it is.

It's pretty far from the next nearest Sprint site. Only 2-3 bars of band 26. 1 Bar band 25 and band 41 has no reach at this location at all. I'm really hoping they'll convert it.

That thing is a hot mess...I love it! I would hope to see that kind of setup on some of the canyon roads here in SoCal...

We have about 14 sites like this around town here (Springfield, MO). Only a couple of them have been upgraded like this so far. Those are tri-band antennas with 1 PCS, SMR and B41 RRU for each sector. 

 

One of the upgraded ones includes a special high capacity setup. 3 dual-band NV antennas, and 3 tri-band antennas. 2 PCS RRUs, 1 SMR and 1 B41 RRU.

Anyone else going to bid???

 

This is an exciting day for Sprint! 

 

BID BID BID!

 

 

 

 

OK!  TIME FOR THE AUCTION!!!

 

E-Bay Auction Link:  http://www.ebay.com/...-/301786208301?

 

Place a bid now for the naming rights for November 5th, the final day of the countdown.  The winner of the auction will be named as the Sponsor of the WiMax clock on the final day.  Bid early and bid often.  Bidding starts at $20.

 

Just imagine, when all of S4GRUdom will envy you as you are honored as the member who wants to see WiMax's death and demise most of all.  And support S4GRU in the process.  Show your support for Sprint's network advancement and S4GRU at the same time.  Increase the bid today!

 

Thanks for supporting S4GRU.

EDIT:  Oh, yeah.  You can also get my old Motorola Photon, if you want it.  But it was just added so E-Bay doesn't flip out about an auction over the countdown clock.  Like they did when we did this back in 2013 with the expiration of iDEN.

Well the good news is you get to keep the Photon in your museum on the condition that it is displayed on loan from me.

Karma now offering 5mbs unlimited lte hotspot @ $50

 

There isn't any reason why sprint couldn't offer similar service to mb/mc, or even offer it directly from sprint.

I hope it's not a bait and switch offer because it's prepaid!

I decided to take a quick look at how much frequency WiMAX was using.  First let me note that my phone treated it like CDMA in terms of site reporting -- you must have a fresh connection from disconnected to get accurate frequencies from each sector.  As previously reported, each sector at a site has different frequencies, each using 10Mhz.  WiMAX does behave like WiFi in that frequencies conflicts between sites should be avoided.  When I looked at a small number of WiMAX sites in one area, the number of frequencies rapidly grew before I saw any duplicates (generally facing away from each other). 

 

Thus given this preliminary information noted above, combined with speeds often seen, it is possible Sprint could gain up to a ten-fold increase in throughput over the same frequencies in an area by switching from WiMAX to B41 LTE CA technologies.

I think Sprint will offer it, Maybe Karma is just a trail run?

And they very well may have.
