They are working on something and need to take it offline. If it is more than one tower in an area, then it is likely cluster signal optimization. If it seems to be over a large chunk of the market, it could be related to the LTE core. As digiblur has said above, they are not turning off sites to build anticipation or to have a grand lighting ceremony for launch day. Once a site is accepted and goes live, it stays live. But it may go off and on as needed to be worked on. And prior to launch, it is common for LTE signals to go on and off, in all markets. Robert via LG Optimus G using Tapatalk

To clarify, we have confirmed that GMO work is getting underway in the UCV. However, full builds may or may not also be getting under way. We have no recent info about full builds there. The last thing I heard about full builds in the UCV was a Mid Spring start. However, Samsung is so aggressive. If they can beat that they will. Robert via LG Optimus G using Tapatalk

Not likely. Pretty much all the sites inspected and signed off as complete from Sprint are currently live. The odds of them going out and inspecting 100's of sites all at once and turning them on immediately is very, very low. They haven't done anything like that in any market so far with the Network Vision program. And the most LTE sites ever accepted in one week is about 50-60. And even that is very uncommon.

Comments related to the NV Running List Thread
S4GRU replied to MacinJosh's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
Redding is in the Upper Central Valley market with Sacramento. Work is just now starting to mobilize and begin in this market. We are probably still a few months before sites start being accepted complete in the UCV. Stay tuned. Robert via LG Optimus G using Tapatalk -
Then that wouldn't make it a lie. But I agree that Sprint's maps are way over generous for the what most people will encounter. Robert via LG Optimus G using Tapatalk

I don't have the link. I've seen others post it in the past. Robert via LG Optimus G using Tapatalk

There was a site in Hesston, Kansas where it showed accepted, they launched the market, it showed on coverage maps but never broadcasted. One of our members had to call and open tickets post launch and it still took a month to finally get going. Robert via LG Optimus G using Tapatalk

(UPDATED) All for HTC One, HTC One for all?
S4GRU commented on WiWavelength's blog entry in The Wall
Sprint is using the 800 SMR band, as you figured. But Sprint devices also support 850 Cellular band for roaming purposes. Robert -
Sprint has Claremont in the Riverside/San Bernardino market, even though it is technically just barely inside LA County. Robert

The very first Network Vision site was accepted in the Phoenix market this week. More details coming in the Sponsor sections and maps. Robert

LTE started lighting up in the market over a week ago. First two sites went live. One in Temecula and another in Claremont. They will continue with a few sites here and there and they will likely pick up steam in the next 2-3 weeks. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

Yes, it is against our posting guidelines to explain to people how to bypass Sprint's TOS to do unauthorized tethering. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

If you load maps or run speed tests, then it can start to pile on quickly. And based on your posts, I'd guess you run Sensorly non stop and do a lot of driving. Additionally, it could be near zero if you wanted it to, as you do not have to upload over the Sprint network. However, just the compiling of network data is a very low data consumption rate. Each point collected can be measured in bytes. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

What device are you using. With over 10,000 sites, I would imagine loading the maps is processor and RAM use intensive. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

There are occupied homes with panels on them in Puerto Rico that I've seen. Also, there is one in Contra Costa County, California where the panels are attached to a wooden pole that is attached to the side of a house. And that house is occupied. I live within 250' of a site. There's no reason why you cannot live next to a site. I'd be more concerned about that cell phone that we sleep with next to our heads. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

Sprint now offers shared, capped data plans for small business subs
S4GRU replied to WiWavelength's topic in General Topics
I've seen too many times where people feel they should use as much unlimited data as possible because that's what they feel they paid for. Some confuse unlimited with infinity. My tenants in the home behind me also found out that even though I included electricity in their rent, it didn't mean they could use as much as they physically could possibly muster. When I put them on their own meter, their consumption dropped 75%. Go figure. Robert via LG Optimus G using Tapatalk -
It's been there for months. It's an in building DAS system. Robert via LG Optimus G using Tapatalk

Yes, Sensorly uses a microscopic amount of data. It's just text of GPS coords and numbers of signal strength observed, etc. And you can even have it only upload off network if you prefer. Robert via LG Optimus G using Tapatalk

Network Vision/LTE - Norfolk Market (Hampton Roads/Virginia Tidewater)
S4GRU replied to wellsey1126's topic in Markets
Signals are turned off frequently in unlaunched markets as they work on the network. It's not an issue of signal weakening. Robert via LG Optimus G using Tapatalk -
Sprint brings Network Vision 3G upgrades online in clusters. So backhaul, may or may not be the culprit in your instance. If your site is complete, they will inspect and accept it. But your device will stay on the legacy side until the all the sites within your cluster are done. Then they will do E911 drive testing for the whole cluster. If it passes, they will bring online the 3G Network Vision side and turn off the legacy. Robert via LG Optimus G using Tapatalk

It says LTE in the speed test. So it was connected to LTE during testing, but 3G when the screen shot was taken. Robert via LG Optimus G using Tapatalk
