In my recent TDD reading, one possibility that I came across is a slight degradation to WiMAX performance because of TD-LTE deployment. If WiMAX and TD-LTE are deployed in adjacent spectrum, then their TDD downlink:uplink ratios and guard periods must be closely synchronized. Otherwise, the WiMAX base station could be transmitting while the TD-LTE base station is receiving (or vice versa) -- the out of band adjacent channel emissions causing major interference. To prevent that, syncing up their TDD downlink:uplink ratios and guard periods is relatively doable, but it may require a compromise in which the WiMAX carrier goes prematurely quiet each cycle, thereby cutting down its capacity. AJ That's very interesting to consider. To clarify for others reading, my reference was related to Sprint FDD-LTE and WiMax. It will be interesting to monitor WiMax performance in TDD-LTE markets over time. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

We are not 100% certain how they will handle WiMax Protection Sites at this time. However, Protection Sites are probably the lowest priority. They may never be converted at all. They don't have to. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Looks like a Sprint/Ericsson set up to me. Congrats on the find. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta -
It's routine work that IP Board does with their servers. They choose off times and it's down for a few minutes when it occurs. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

First four sites accepted in the Columbus market yesterday. Congrats Columbians! More details in the Sponsor thread: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/682-network-vision-site-map-ohio-markets-west-virginia/?p=152589 Robert

To clarify, it is a roof mount full build site. It's not a GMO site. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I think it's the tamest comments I've ever read. And Chadbrochillz was setting the record straight. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta -
It only happens to me a once or twice per month for a few minutes. Robert

WiMax performance is completely unrelated to LTE. WiMax network is owned by Clearwire and is separate from Sprint's network in every way. Different sites and different backhaul and different switch centers. Sprint LTE is deployed on their own sites on the Network Vision platform. Robert from Note 2 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Yea, LTE 800 will be needed in a place like Charlotte for long term. LTE 1900 is just a bridge to get you to usable data in most places you go. Sprint will not be fully competitive until LTE 800 is in place. But it's starting now and will be much faster to deploy on in place NV sites. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I think this thread has run its course. Topic is now closed. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

The IBEZ is a temporary situation. It's well discussed throughout the forums here. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Against all odds before deployment started, NOLA has turned out to be a consistent progress market. Especially the past few months. Almost a model example. I've been happy that ABQ has started out pretty strong. I would love for it to work out like NOLA. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

First site accepted in the West Kentucky market yesterday. More details in the Sponsor section: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/704-network-vision-site-map-nashville-and-westeast-kentucky-markets/?p=152093 Robert

First LTE sites accepted in New Mexico yesterday! One in Albuquerque and one near Cruces. More info in the Sponsor thread. Robert

The question then becomes to what end? Once they had enough voting power would they move to merge CLWR into Sprint? CLWR would still need a large cash infusion if they keep it as a separate company. Would CLWR sign some sort of network sharing deal with Sprint? Lots of questions left. It doesn't really matter. I could see them merging with the New Sprint, being bought out by the New Sprint, I could also see SoftBank or new Sprint providing more equity funding, or even SoftBank buying out New Sprint's shares in CLWR and keep it to itself.

Ok that makes total sense. I'm just afraid that Softbank will back out of the agreement when Clearwire doesn't approve the takeover. But do you guys think there is a chance that Sprint has the votes? (noob question) Since the SoftBank/Sprint purchase will close much sooner than probably even a new Clearwire deal can be voted on, there's little reasoning to worry about this.

Where did the extra 3.2% come from? Last I heard, Sprint still has only 50.8% of Clearwire. I recall 54% share owner and just under 51% voting control. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
-
I thought with the exception of Crest, all the other minor shareholders approved of Sprint's deal. No. I think the only shareholders that have publicly supported Sprint's bids have been the original investment consortium (ala Intel, Comcast, Bright House, etc.).

Sprint owns 54% of Clearwire, and it now looks like SoftBank will challenge DISH directly for minority control. So SoftBank is not giving up on Clearwire. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
-
So in regards to CLWR what you're saying is that ultimately we'd wind up with Sprint owning 51% and Softbank directly trying to obtain as much of the remaining 49% as they could get? Yep. Essentially the same aa what DISH is trying to do. Except SoftBank will not have ridiculous minority shareholder terms expecting a larger voting share and being able to get more voting members to the board than allowed. It allows SoftBank to go as high as necessary to win Shareholder approval without messing up the Sprint purchase price. I read about it in a piece from one of the financial advisors I follow this morning. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Network Vision is fully funded now. All this lost extra "investment" was going to buy Clearwire. It's believed that now Sprint will allow its purchase of CLWR to be defeated and SoftBank will directly fight out DISH for outstanding shares and minority control of CLWR. This has no net effect on Sprint investment funds once you remove paying for CLWR. Additionally, this does nothing for SoftBank giving Sprint more funding after the close of sale either through Sprint issuing SoftBank more equity or SoftBank setting up a credit line for Sprint at better terms than what they can get on the market. No need to fear about the SoftBank decrease in investment. DISH couldn't exercise any of these options and would have to raid capex just to pay its debt. SoftBank has the cash and access to funding that Sprint could only have wet dreams about. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I'm looking forward to Sprint LTE in my area. I sometimes feel like I'm the only Sprint customer, especially in Los Alamos. Three sites in town, always between 1.8 and 2.6Mbps on 3G. I expect high speeds on LTE 24 hours a day when it arrives. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
