Ericsson RRUS31 B25 + RRUS11 B26
These are the newest and greatest remote radio units to come from Ericsson.
The new Ericsson RRUS31 B25 should be fairly distinctive compared to the earlier RRUS11s and now the RRUS12s being deployed by ATT and Verizon. One of these new RRUS31s can do the job of two earlier RRUS11s thus reducing deployment costs for Sprint and complexity in deploying new sites and making it easier for users to spot as there are now 4 jumpers coming out of one RRUS31 rather than two from each RRUS11 that Ericsson originally deployed.
All future deployments will be utilizing the new Ericsson RRUS31s. In addition Ericsson are sending crews to their original deployments and swapping out older RRUS11s for these new RRUS31s due to the aforementioned fact that one RRUS31 can do the job of 2 RRUS11s. Weight savings will be significant at sites where there are 4 or 5 RRUS11 B25s that can be replaced by one or 2 RRUS31s. The Ericsson RRUS31 deployment project is known as the 65 Mhz Project.

Ericsson High Capacity / 4x4/2 MIMO Deployment
Note the additional antenna + PCS radio.
Previously Ericsson utilized additional PCS radios and used RF combiners for high capacity setups where they utilized three or more PCS radios. This new setup will utilize a completey new antenna + radio set just like Samsung and run 4x2 MIMO on the LTE antenna / radio set.
Ericsson RRUS11 B25 [EOL'd] and B26
A standard Ericsson Network Vision 1.0 site with 3 RRUS11s where two are dedicated to PCS and one to SMR.
This type of setup is no longer deployed or utilized in new sites. Existing sites will be slowly converted to newer RRUS31 B25 via the Sprint 65 mhz project.
Ericsson NV high capacity site [EOL'd]
3 or 4 PCS RRUs are present for a total of 4 or 5 RRUS11s per antenna.

My opinion: Samsung is bidding lower than Ericsson on some projects and winning those bids...and deploying faster than Ericsson in some cases (e.g. NV). So Ericsson wants to stop looking slow and expensive...by slowing Samsung down and making them more expensive.
I really hope that they can come to a reasonable resolution on this issue, since otherwise both Ericsson and Samsung NV builds could be slowed. And Ericsson in particular shouldn't get any slower than it already is.

I know Sprint is the only carrier where we have (to my knowledge) information about which vendor is handling what part of their network, but I'm curious as to whether Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile have similarly regionalized their next-gen network deployments.
For reference, here's who's building out networks for the Big Four, plus C-Spire and MetroPCS (since we now who they're using to roll out LTE):
Verizon - Ericsson, AlcaLu, NSN
AT&T - Ericsson, AlcaLu
Sprint - Ericsson, AlcaLu, Samsung
T-Mobile - Ericsson, NSN
MetroPCS - Ericsson, Samsung
C-Spire - AlcaLu
AlcaLu = Alcatel-Lucent
NSN = Nokia Siemens Networks
...and yes, Ericsson is really busy rolling out LTE, it seems.

You didn't read. I said in the initial post when you first lashed out. He said nothing about his service until *you* brought it up. No one is telling you to do anything. It was simple question that did not warrant the response you gave. -

New York and their dense upgraded network doesn't speak for the rest of us. Nor do I. I don't need anyone telling me that I should just "leave" as the answer. I already know that is an option. However, I am in it now due to phone commitments and my employer offering discounts on Sprint. Just can't pick up and leave. My Sprint signal strength has steadily degraded over the last 2-3 months as many others on here will attest to. I don't wish to argue... ...

I don't get your response at all. He asked a reasonable question. If you're not happy, why not leave. He didn't make any statements regarding how well it worked for him, at least in the initial post, so why you had to include that does not make sense. -
Sure thing. Thanks for the advice. Enjoy your Sprint experience.
