That's common while drive testing before acceptance. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

The way I read the attached PDF is this is the agreed to protocol for SMR narrowband operations within the border zone. SMR wideband operations (which both CDMA and LTE would be wideband) within the border zone would require one year notice and further cooperation/agreement. That's how I read it.

Dayton is in the Cincinnati market. Dayton will receive Network Vision/LTE upgrades with Cincinnati, starting this Spring. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

I don't recall that. I just remember them agreeing that they will work it out. How much of their Mexican border spectrum are they going to be able to use? You make it sound like they can use all of it. That would be highly unusual. Because that would mean the Mexican license holder couldn't use any its border region.

I have no idea what the issue is in your specific instance. If it has lasted more than 24 hours, call Sprint and open up a ticket. Make sure you get the ticket number. If they don't open a ticket, then no one is going to go check on it. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

Like AJ points out, indoor coverage is highly variable by carrier. In my area, AT&T has the best geographic coverage. However, inside my house I have a full signal on Verizon 3G & LTE, Sprint 3G and T-Mobile EDGE, but I get no AT&T service unless I am outside. No carrier guarantees indoor service. It depends on how far you are from each carrier's site, which technology/frequencies used and most importantly, what type of construction used for your building. The best thing to do is to try out each carrier in your home until you find the one that best meets your indoor needs, should in home service be paramount to you. Otherwise, you can get an Airave.

There is no average time. Each site goes live the moment it is ready. If the sites fails building dept. inspection and Sprint inspection repeatedly, it could take many months. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

The Motorola/Samsung seam issue only happens when handing off to the same exact channel. If it hands off to a different channel, then you don't get dropped. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

Yeah. Sprint is in all my custom dictionaries capitalized and it gets typed more often than any other word. Go figure. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

Ummm, yeah. Dang auto correct.

Network Vision will be starting in a larger scale around the beginning of Sprint. There may be some up front work associated with backhaul and switch work. Since the legacy vendor in Cleveland is Motorola, you guys will likely know when NV starts in your market. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

No. I should have been more clear. Most of the third round markets that started early and appear to be pretty far ahead now are GMO sites. The third round markets that haven't started, or are just about to, will mostly be full build. I can see now how what I said was confusing. Sorry. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

Most of the third round markets are Ground Mount sites. So I wouldn't get worked up about it. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

Six new sites accepted in the New Orleans market this weekend. More details in the Sponsor section: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/579-network-vision-site-map-new-orleans-memphis-gulf-coast-east-texas-mississippi-and-louisiana-markets/page__view__findpost__p__98269 Robert

And none of this removes local bureaucratic planning and permitting. It just means the local jurisdiction cannot deny the permit if it is an existing facility. But they still need to file for local building permits and obtain them and they still have to pass plan review and meet code. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

This is exactly my point. Local jurisdictions cannot control broadcasts. They must allow them. But they still control the building permits and zoning for the structures themselves. And the FCC does not have the authority to take that away. It would require a change in law. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

I repeat...the FCC does not have the authority to overrule building codes and state laws regarding building. That authority has not been given to them. They regulate broadcasts, not structures. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

Definitely before then. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

I usually wait until we get to 5,000 posts. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

This has no impact on local building permits and zoning processes. The FCC has no authority to subrogate local and state building laws, codes and ordinances. This is only related to FCC hurdles. Mostly related to small cells and pico cells and reclassifying them and not requiring the same as macro cells. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

Work should be beginning soon. In the next two months or so. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD
