The signal shown on Clear Maps on the north side of Encinitas comes from the Escondido tower. There is no Protection Site in Encinitas: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2136-wimax-protection-site-maps-substantial-service-sites/ Robert

What do you mean "All 3G"? Does that mean just backhaul and 1X 800? It means all the CDMA side equipment, 1x and EVDO have been accepted as complete by Sprint. No 800 accepted yet. Robert from Note 2 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

17 sites accepted in the Cleveland market yesterday. All 3G. In the Sandusky/Huron/Vermilion area. It will be added to the Sponsor maps tonight. Robert

First LTE site accepted in Lincoln area yesterday, on the east side. It will be added to the Sponsor maps this evening. Robert

Thanks for the clarification. I initially read your post to say that Band 41 did not cover 2600MHz at all. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Question, when installing backhaul, can this cause the types of interruptions we are seeing on the island? The actual backhaul install in and of itself would probably not cause a very long shut down. However, if they are working on provisioning and feasting the LTE or working on the switch/core for the USVI sites after the backhaul work is completed, that could effect things. It is also possible that they switched over to new backhaul, but it's not configured correctly to the switch/core and these could be causing the issues. There's no way to say without more info. However, to read that someone came back to really fast speeds is a good indicator of backhaul upgrades. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Wrong. 2600 refers to Band 7, while 2500 refers to Band 41 (according to frequency indication conventions). Upon re-reading, maybe you're referring to unofficial naming nomenclature, like in the way people refer to Cellular as 800, but better described as 850. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Wrong. 2600 refers to Band 7, while 2500 refers to Band 41 (according to frequency indication conventions). Since you started it... Wrong! LTE Band 41 is a TDD band from 2496 - 2690MHz. It's the same as WiMax. It's a roll up band for the 2500 and 2600 that includes the EBS band and BRS Band. http://niviuk.free.fr/lte_band.php Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I was referring to Tabasco white oak barrel wood smoking chips for a meat smoker. But I agreed for hot sauces, Tabasco is not a favorite of mine. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

It's RootMetrics Coverage Map app. It's a crowd source app like Sensorly, but it plots the average speeds encountered on a map with signal strength. I find their speed test component to be one of the most accurate. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

2500 and 2600 are the same LTE Band. LTE Band 41. Some people call or 2500, and others call it 2600. They're pretty interchangeable. EBS is mostly in 2500 and BRS is mostly in 2600, but both are combined into one LTE band. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

If it was tri-band and no other tribands were yet announced or imminent when it hit the streets, I would buy it if the cash price was $400 or less. I gotta have the first triband device. I have a reputation to uphold. Well, I might lose it if I buy a ZTE. Robert from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Accepted means they are complete and Sprint has accepted them from the OEM. Sites that are under deployment now are not shown in accepted numbers. They will show as accepted as they start going live. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

If it's made by ZTE, is it really Sprint's own phone? Just sounds like the ZTE branding is removed. Does Sprint think the ZTE brand is not a good seller? If so, they're probably right. Specs sound just ehhh, and it's only dual core. Flagship? That's so 2012. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I'm not a fan of Sprint coverage maps. I prefer the ones in Google Maps, myself. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Sprint is upgrading its entire network in the South Texas market. Each site is worked on the moment it's ready. Permitting/zoning varies by city and county, as well as backhaul availability can vary by site. Sprint is not selecting areas it prefers, since it upgrading every site. When a site is ready, they'll send people right over to work on it. If you area has not started yet, then your city/county probably is slower on approvals, or the local backhaul vendor is slower, or a combination thereof. But do not sorry, it is indeed coming. And they will not leave the South Texas market until they're all done. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Deployment is already underway at approximately 12-18 sites around Tucson. And more are starting every week. The first sites will start go live from these. Probably some time in June, but may push out into July. It will take many months to get complete coverage, but it's coming. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Definitely. You ever come to New Mexico, you can join me in pulled chicken. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
