    Actually, I need to correct what I said above. I have it backwards. AWS is downlink on 2100 and uplink on 1700. So the signal will be weaker on the download, than on the upload. But because of the wider channels on Tmo, it shouldn't be a big deal. It should perform well, and even better than Sprint in most metrics. Except Sprint has superior coverage than Tmo in many markets. Like where I live. Robert

    I don't think Sandy has helped matters any, either. Robert

    800 does penetrate better than 1900. However, I used to live in an adobe building. It didn't like 850 nor 1900. I had to go to a window with either. Some building types are just bad for RF no matter what. Brick/Block buildings, especially if rebar is used in the cells, is pretty tough on all RF. It just really depends on a lot of factors. In building reception is always highly variable. 1900 near a tower will be better than 800 far from a tower inside a building, etc., etc. Robert

    It will be about the same on download and slightly worse on upload, in equal size channels. However, Tmo is deploying wider channels. Tmo LTE will likely be noticeably faster than Sprint LTE. But Tmo 3G coverage is lacking in many markets. So in those markets, their LTE coverage will be even worse. But it will be faster where you get it. At least until Clearwire gets going.

    I usually check a few times a week. It definitely is exciting to find new tracks. Robert via Samsung Note II using Forum Runner

    All sites in PR are supposed to be upgraded to LTE 1900. However, they are not supposed to get LTE 800. According to one report I read, Sprint will not have 800 available in PR when they begin deployment in the SMR band. I'm not sure if it is that they do not have 800MHz spectrum in PR, or if they do not have enough, or they cannot use it for awhile because of rebanding. Or possibly even it is an interference issue with neighboring countries. I just do not know why. Or if it is just temporary. Robert via Samsung Note II using Forum Runner

    I had this issue a lot on the Photon. It would go back to EVDO, but all my other devices were on eHRPD. However, if I cycled through airplane mode it would come back. Robert via Samsung Note II using Forum Runner

    No problem. It's nothing compared to half understood response I did a few weeks ago. I thought I was going to have to dig my head in the sand after that. Robert via Samsung Note II using Forum Runner

    I said that LO-E glass that is often used in Airport Terminals blocks all types of RF. Not just Sprint RF. It also is tough on Verizon and AT&T RF signals. It does not discriminate. I'm not sure what you're trying to get at. Your comment seems reactive, but not on topic to what was discussed. Robert via Samsung Note II using Forum Runner

    For certain 1x and EVDO carriers can be on the same RRU. But we are not certain if LTE can be on the same RRU as CDMA, or if they must be separate. I'm not 100% sure. Robert via Samsung Note II using Forum Runner

    There very well may be. I haven't heard from the source where I learned about these two FIT's since May. AlcaLu likely will use the very same FIT as they did 3G and LTE 1900. Whereas Samsung and Ericsson had separate 3G and LTE 1900 FIT's. Robert via Samsung Note II using Forum Runner

    The last thing I seen on the LTE 800 FIT was supposed to be this Fall in Montana and New Orleans. However, I haven't seen anything on it since May. Robert via Samsung Note II using Forum Runner

    If anyone is over in the area with an Android device and get a signal, run Sensorly. Thanks for the report. Robert via Samsung Note II using Forum Runner

    It's easy to add capacity if Sprint has the spectrum spare in the market. A new carrier card is really all that is needed in the base cabinet. Existing RRU's and panels can accommodate extra LTE carriers in most instances. Each RRU can handle up to four carriers. Each panel can handle two 800MHz RRU's and up to four 1900MHz RRU's. If the added LTE carrier exceeds the available capacity in RRU's, then a RRU will need to be added. If an added RRU exceeds the available capacity in the panel, then an additional panel could be needed. Robert via Samsung Note II using Forum Runner
