Does Sprint Still Use Cisco MWR2941's in Their Tower Racks?

[Brad The Beast]

I know they used to use Cisco MWR2941's but they were EoL'd in 2013. Does Sprint still use them or have they since been upgraded?

If something so critical as R&S at a cell site is EOL'd then they're likely long replaced. Most recent Sprint sites that are documented use newer generation Cisco routers / switches.

I figured they would've upgraded them by now but I wasn't sure if they did or what they upgraded them to.

We do know that Cisco routers were used inside the Clear cabinets a few years ago to connect the Nokia Mini Macros Ethernet cables to the fiber and microwave backhaul. What model we are uncertain.
