And with that capital gain, Robert is buying a round for The Forums. I recommend you order the "Charlie Ergen." It is some generic alcohol mixed with bitters. AJ That is a gross add of long term wealth of $2,150 added with this new offer. I may actually be able to retire one day. Now if they can just accept and close the deal.

Does the Premier section also include clearwire towers/information as well? There are Clearwire WiMax Protection Site maps in the Sponsor section. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

Clearwire is believed to be deploying TD-LTE in 20MHz TDD channels. Most likely with a 3:2 time slot ratio between Downlink and Uplink. A 20MHz TDD channel deployed in a 3:2 could almost reach 100Mbps in ideal peak situations and the proper backhaul. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

Sprint just increased its offer to $3.40 per share. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

Yes. They are working on it. In unlaunched areas you can expect the signal to come and go regularly. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

It's a long story, well documented throughout our forums. It's more than just enough money. It was their entire business model and the spectrum they were using was not good enough for an independent network. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

Forget Masa Son. Give me a good corn masa, any day. That is the key to making tasty tamales. AJ Also for chicken enchilada soup. Yum. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

I meant with the new towers they're going to deploy to expand their footprint using 600MHz. Since they are only going to deploy LTE on 600, they pretty much have to stick to LTE 600 spacing and not an equivalent using another technology. And LTE 600 would ideally be spaced on PCS/AWS voice in my mind. So, let's say that Tmo wanted to start service in Rapid City, SD. They would likely colocate on existing sites. There already is an established network of 850 spaced sites or PCS/AWS. Tmo would likely choose to deploy TD-LTE 600 on PCS/AWS spacing. To try to do the 850 Cellular spacing in place would be problematic for voice on LTE. Based on my observations here in New Mexico, Verizon 1x voice on 850 travels much farther than LTE on 750. So it would not be a good idea, in my opinion to try to space LTE-600 on 850 voice. But it could be done with mixed results. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD What I'm getting at is that one of the mods said VoLTE (or LTE) is usable down to -93db but 1x down to -103db. Assuming TMUS will use VoLTE, wouldn't they want to be a little conservative in their spacing? You don't think my response says they should? Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

No, they can't. That speed is for one user connected to the tower. If there are 10 users, you divide by 10 to get 10Mb/s; 100 users, you divide by 100 to get 1Mb/s. Your math is true in a theoretical 100% constant data streaming situation. Most data usage occurs in bursts, allowing for greater number of users. So you can double and triple those numbers in most instances. But your main point of it being a finite resource remains intact, and I completely agree. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

I've thought about it. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

All of the sites on that deployment list were added to the list before work actually started. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note II using Tapatalk 2 I can add Utah now, but it would be at 0% until a site was accepted. There were many times I added a market to the list when I thought acceptance was imminent. But this is not something I have done consistently Utah fits the bill now for certain. I will probably add it to the list in the next update. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

If TMUS gets 10 MHz of TDD 600 MHz: 1) will that be 37 Mbps maximum download/upload capacity assuming 50/50 TDD ratio? 2) will they need to put their towers slightly closer because VoLTE drops out at a higher signal level than 1x? 3) how many kilobits/sec does it take for whatever HD voice TMUS will use? 4) how many simultaneous HD voice calls can you fit assuming aforementioned parameters? 1. I believe they will use a much higher DL time slot than 50%. To use Clearwire WiMax TDD as an example, I believe they are using 10:1. Assuming Tmo would want that same type of ratio for the data side, and voice side was true 1:1 ratio, then you would end up with a final LTE-TDD ratio for Tmo on 600MHz more in the ballpark of 3:1 final TDD ratio. 3 timeslots download for every 1 upload. However, the reality would probably be something more dynamic than that, driven by load. And QoS would have to be set up to give voice priority for it to work properly on TDD. 2. No. I believe 600MHz VoLTE spacing is probably slightly better than AWS/PCS voice. So it should work pretty well with current site spacing. In my observations, VZW LTE 750 is roughly the same coverage area as Sprint PCS 1x, all things being equal. Just the LTE 750 penetrates better within that same footprint. 3. I'm not following VoLTE close enough, nor HD voice, to answer your question. 4. Also cannot answer this question. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

I thought OFDMA techs didn't do this? It's not supposed to. However, I have experienced some phenomenon where I believe that cell breathing may be occurring anyway. And it may be just a momentary thing and not like previous generations. But it may be just long enough to have your device lose connection. Given the rescan times on most Sprint LTE devices, it could get rather annoying if it's occurring. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

I have sprint and have both devices The sgs3 has worse call quality but holds on to calls better, so less drops The sgs4 has better call quality, but can't really hold on to calls as well resulting in a lot more dropped calls I also notice my sgs4 will randomly lose data signal and take minutes to find one again while my sgs3 holds on and doesn't lose data. In the rare instance it does, it finds the data connection again within 10 seconds Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2 The randomly lose data problem also existed on the Galaxy Nexus. Man, did that drive me bonkers. On the GNex, you couldn't even cycle airplane mode to get back data when it did that. Hard reboot is all that would cure it. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

Have the warning points disappeared now? Robert

Network Vision is running between 3-6 months behind in most markets. They have revised their estimate to Mid 2014 completion. However, Utah is not behind schedule. They were always planning to start this market in Spring 2013. And they have indeed started. Probably still a few weeks out until the first site is accepted from the OEM as complete. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

It's very annoying. I'm manually removing them for now. I've checked all the Tapatalk settings in IP Board and within the Tapatalk and Tapatalk HD apps and haven't figured out a way to get rid of it yet. I will do some more research on the Tapatalk site and forums this afternoon after I get home from church. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

It's not the first time I've heard Davis referred to as a "Special Case." Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

It was a temporary glitch in the Sprint site. It is back to normal now. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

Probably in the next few days. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

Forum Runner worked well for us until upgrading to the newest version of IP Board. We used to have Tapatalk problems. Now all our Tapatalk problems seemed to be solved but nor have issues with Forum Runner. Oh well. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD
