Sprint to join Rural Operators Roaming Hub (CCA and RRPP thread)
S4GRU replied to marioc21's topic in General Topics
It's possible it will be treated as native. But it kept repeating "roaming" ad nauseum. Also, it's quite possible that these roaming partners will have their customers on Sprint's network more often than Sprint customers on their networks, it could actually cost Sprint very little or nothing out of pocket for this. It could be a revenue generator for Sprint. So they may be very generous with LTE roaming allotments if not treated native. Robert -

S4GRU replied to marioc21's topic in General Topics
Yeah, I get that. I'm just hoping that very reasonable roaming rates will equate into larger roaming allowances by Sprint. My way and Framily plans are only currently limited to 100MB of roaming. 100MB of LTE roaming is almost useless. But I'd take it over nothing, I suppose. Robert -

I like the idea. What really will matter is if a useful LTE roaming data allotment is provided. 100 or 300MB is not useful for LTE. Might as well just continue with 1X. If it were 1GB, that would be useful. Robert- 659 replies

I spent A LOT of money that was supposed to go into it on devices the past few years. And a Trooper... Robert

Yes, yes I do. I should probably take a collection from the HTC Fanboys to convert me back. But I'd rather people contribute to the Digiblur baby gift card. That seems more worthwhile! Robert

VoLTE is Voice Over LTE. So it cannot be over 3G by definition. I think you may be confusing HD Voice with VoLTE. HD Voice can be run over CDMA just fine. LTE is not needed. Robert

I had to give back my GS3 and EVO LTE when I moved out of Sprint service. And I miss them terribly. I don't think I could part with any more. These are my children!! Robert

Ummmm... Robert

Sure. It will better than WiMax in many instances too. Just wanted to give you an idea what you may experience. Robert

I want to get this device. I haven't bought a HTC device in a long time. However, I'm unwilling to sign a contract with ATT and I don't want to fork out the $650. I haven't touched my savings at all this year. I need to be a good boy! Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

Yes indeed. It is Ground Zero. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

Yep. Just waiting on backhaul. Some backhaul may be done now and just waiting on LTE integration techs to come and fire it up. But Farmington is definitely getting LTE from Sprint. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

The only usefulness to VoLTE in the a short term is to reduce the number of PCS 1x carriers to allow another PCS LTE carrier in some areas that may be just slightly short on spectrum to do another LTE carrier in PCS. But this is not a high priority. Sprint is in a good position to ride out voice on CDMA for a long time. The big advantage of VoLTE in the log run will be able to have LTE Only devices which should make a play for full North American interoperability between providers easier to implement. Of course, the big disadvantage to VoLTE is coverage because of the more fragile airlink of LTE. CDMA on 800MHz will sure be tough to beat! Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

I have a friend who used Towerstream as a backup for his office in Dallas. He liked it, but said they had a lot of variability in performance. But even their worst was still more than adequate. But the range he experienced was between 3-30Mbps, if memory serves. So highly variable. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

That tower in that area was always one of the worst in town, with mega high pings. Either CL finally caught up on their own, or the pressure finally was applied correctly. But either way, it is welcome! Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

Yep, when you suddenly have super fast 3G after a cluster launches, it's a good indication that it will get LTE soon. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

No way! Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

It's not accurate. Dan Hesse is talking about in some markets they can have two separate sets of 60MHz aggregated from three carriers. Not 120MHz combined into one useful aggregated carrier. I've seen the internal documents. Sprint currently has no plans for channels larger than 20MHz and not planning to aggregate more than three carriers. LightReading misunderstood Hesse's quote and drew the wrong conclusion. And I can see how it could be misunderstood. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

I always assumed it was a Motorola Canopy 900MHz system. Those were common back then, and for being 900MHz, they were surprisingly not very good at anything but LOS. Probably because of power limitations. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

Yes. It definitely will. Robert

Band 41 deployment will likely begin in El Paso some time later this year. El Paso is definitely a Top 100 market and destined to get Band 41 deployments. Robert

Golf Course and Southern...you may have been on the store DAS system. There is a Sprint store there at the corner. Been there many times. Robert

They did the same in New Mexico and South Dakota. But they came back and filled them in. Here in South Dakota they are even putting up new sites in between Cellular/700 spaced sites to increase capacity. Verizon is really stepping up their game. AWS with 15 and 20MHz LTE channels, and densifying their network. They are taking the battle very seriously. That's why Sprint must execute quickly and decisively in 2014. Robert

Does anyone even bother to read a few posts up before posting a link? We were already discussing the passing of Tarazi. Robert via Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
