When you look at your account, does the Airave show up as a line? I'm wondering if that's the reason you're having issues?

Yes; showing as a Misc. device with an attached number.

I snagged an Airave 3 this week thanks to a timely heads up by a friendly S4GRUer! Sounds like inventory is still sparse, but I got lucky. Had to set up an RMA for the broken 2.5 before they would fin

Airave Gen 4 is available today. Per OKCC rep. referring to an internal email.

Got my Airave 4 and have it setup. It uses the same earfcn as my Magic Box, 39874. CDMA 1x uses channel 1125, which is right in the middle of the 15x15 B25 carrier, so I'm guessing it's misconfigured.

Update:  The Airave can't seem to get a GPS lock.  Tried everything. Curious to see if anyone else has issues with this when their units arrive. The unit will produce a CDMA signal without a GPS lock, but no LTE.  Curious how it can do that as I thought CDMA relied heavily on GPS timing. 
The GPS antenna is likely very sensitive like the 3. Definitely make sure you place it as instructed.

Mine is being shipped today, arriving tomorrow. I looked at my account and I already have an additional line that says Airave 4, so hopefully I'm good. Last time when I got the 3, it took days to get it working with multiple calls to Sprint, eventually replacing it as defective.

Super small campared to the 3. Setup wasn't bad other then the power is in a strange location on the unit, hard to plug in with big fingers.

Are you sure CDMA is working without GPS? Do they give you a chirp sound when calling out?

According to the LED indicators yes. But after 15 or 20 min the cdma goes back to to flashing red too. I assume due to no gps. And yes, chirp is there.

Do you have to use an external GPS antenna? Do they have an internal GPS antenna?
It will probably work without the antenna if you put it in a window, but if it's in the interior of your house (as it should be to get maximum coverage), then you'll need to use the external antenna and place it near a window. I just put mine on the window ledge and run the cord behind furniture, you can't see it unless you're looking for it.

As soon as I can, I will. I'm currently unable to get it activated and I'm having to wait for level 2 support to call me.

I called in last night to check on my status. They told me there are two lists, one normal / non priority, and a priority. I was on the non priority list, presumably because I have a 3 that it's replacing and they're shipping them to people without an existing Airave first.

The rep moved me to the priority list and said I'll receive it this week or early next week. This morning I checked my account and the 4 is now showing up (with a 577 area code, which is no geographic and reserved for personal communication services).

So my Airave is DOA and will no active what so ever, so they are going to be sending me a replacement. [emoji22]

Basically they failed to attach it to your account from the warehouse. I experienced that with my Gen 3 MB.

 

They had to do an manually change the serial number of the active MB line to activate the Gen 3 which took an entire afternoon.

I called them yesterday about it and they put it on my account after I gave them the MAC ID, the Serial Number couldn't be found they said. Today it still won't active and they decided to just send a new one, unless someone finds a way to fix it before the new one gets here.

Could always check if the folks at magicbox[at]sprint.com knows of a way since they deal with MBs and presumably Airaves all the time.

So it's up and running. Here's a screenshot from signal check pro. It looks like I'm connected to the voice side, but when I place a call I don't hear the 3 beeps.aa3878c41f760a9b027e08e9a729fca7.jpg

Try dialing *99 and see if you hear the pre-recorded message ("You are now within Airave Coverage.").

      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.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
