lilotimz Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 37 Mbps on 1900 and 37Mbps on 800. And the test phones are not regular phones, we're not running shitty OOkla on these things. The test probably pulled from both bands at the same time. Either carrier aggregation or your test setup is running 10x10 fdd-lte I'd say Sent from my Nexus 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcctDeleted_Merlin Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Either carrier aggregation or your test setup is running 10x10 fdd-lte I'd say Sent from my Nexus 5 Could be running 10x10. We really don't get the specs for the phones. They are nasty bricks designed for statistics and information only. They provide the benchmark that we compare a customer phone to. This lets us quickly determine if a complaint/problem is caused by a device or a site. Wouldn't surprise me if it is pulling 10x10, but I can't confirm one way or the other.

It would seem strange to set up benchmarks using a system that the general public will never see. There aren't any current devices that can use carrier aggregation yet (1900 + 800, or 1900+1900), and Sprint has no plans to deploy a 10x10 FDD (to my knowledge).

Qualcaumn test devices (which I'm assuming Sprint engineers would definitely have access to) would have practically every conceivable setup available to mess around with. Definitely wouldn't surprise me if they're testing carrier aggregation between different PCS blocks considering they are now refarming unused PCS spectrum for additional carriers.

Or do they just hand you a brick and say go? lol. I'm still skeptical, but that's just me. Ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashirley751 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Does the Samsung Galaxy Mega need CSFB to access Lte?I asked the same thing a couple of days ago. Robert confirmed that all tri band phones need CSFB to operate on LTE. Edit: I'm too slow. Robert beat me to it lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa Claus Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Is CSFB available in the Denver Colorado market yet? Thank you kind sir and madam!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkoellerwx Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Is CSFB available in the Denver Colorado market yet? Thank you kind sir and madam!! In most cases, no, it is not. At least around Denver. Colorado Springs should be good to go. Most sites have not been activated yet, though that should start in the next couple months. Once their respective cluster is accepted into the network, eCSFB should be active, meaning tri-band devices can use LTE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiWavelength Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Is CSFB available in the Denver Colorado market yet? Thank you kind sir and madam!! I guess Santa Claus has a lot of time on his hands to ask wireless service questions now that the North Pole at Chipita Park is closed for the season until May.

DamiusX Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I noticed that All NV sites have been added to the NV Sites Complete map. Is this in anticipation of big things happening soon, or just some housekeeping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonKnightDX Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 We saw a new LTE update. I am thinking the popular notion here, that the sites around Denver and the Metro area will be going live in clusters, within the next few months. I think the weather has factored in, and slowes down deployment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Is that in academy and woodmen or downtown where is the 800 mgz lte at?? in the springs?? When Merlin says "Happy hunting", it kind of defeats the sport of hunting if he tells you where it is. BTW, the HTC One is not Spark compatible, so you won't be able to find it anyway, unless you have a spectrum sweeper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrilloevo Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Can a site go from NV accepted to lte at the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashirley751 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Can a site go from NV accepted to lte at the same time? The consensus around here from the experts seems to be that yes it CAN, but that doesn't mean that it WILL. My understanding is that when a site is accepted and when the site has the fiber backhaul available to support LTE are two very different things. So if the backhaul is there and all equipment is installed etc, the site can be brought up with LTE at acceptance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinisin Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 So is backhaul progress top secret or what? Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Can a site go from NV accepted to lte at the same time? We had about half a dozen sites go from nothing to 3G/4G accepted in today's update. Happens all the time. Robert 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
