    There is no new news on Austin. If towers don't start coming live soon, I will revise my estimate to October. It is disappointing to watch this market slip. Robert

    That last I heard, less than 100 Nextel only sites are going to be converted to Network Vision CDMA/LTE. Robert

    There is no definite rhyme or reason that is easy to decipher from the lists. I believe it is either population or subscriber numbers, by market. And the variances in those lists from that is because some markets are easier or harder, because of backhaul availability and government issues (like planning, zoning and permitting). Robert

    At the earliest, Hawaii deployment would start in February 2013. At the latest, January 2014. Hawaii will indeed get LTE. Less than 100 sites of Sprint's 38,000 sites will not get LTE. Even if all 100 were in Hawaii (which they aren't), then Sprint would still have pretty decent LTE coverage. However, you can expect LTE on virtually every single site in Hawaii once completed.

    The second round of Network Vision has market deployment starts from July 2012 through roughly January 2013. The third round has market starts from February 2013 through July 2013. Fourth round has market starts from August 2013 through January 2014. There are actually two 4G WiMax sites in Louisville. See the map below for tower locations. These are Protection Sites and were not part of an actual market deployment. You can read more about what a Protection Site is following this link: http://s4gru.com/ind...otection-sites/ Robert Click on map to enlarge.

    They definitely need to pick up the pace. There are likely many more sites that are complete, but not been accepted by Sprint from the OEM. Robert

    The only time eHRPD will be faster than EVDO is when the EVDO switch has a logjam slowing down data but the 4G core that the eHRPD is connected to is not. In most cases a site is slowed down by carrier capacity or backhaul performance. When either if these two culprits are to blame, both EVDO and eHRPD should be affected pretty much the same.

    We have updated the NV Sites Complete thread with more completed sites LA this past weekend. However, it will still be a long time coming before market launch occurs. Robert via Samsung Galaxy S-III 32GB using Forum Runner

    Only at market launch. In previous market launches they blocked LTE at completed sites until the market launched. So far, it doesn't seem they are blocking completed sites in Chicago, Boston and Baltimore. Robert via Samsung Galaxy S-III 32GB using Forum Runner

    I do not have finalized schedules for any 2013 markets. I do not expect them before the Fall. I do have lists that show 2013 markets in the 3rd and 4th Rounds, but I am not comfortable releasing it. There has been some jockeying in 2013 markets and I'm a little concerned about them being accurate. So, for the time being I'm not prepared to release any 2013 info.

    Sprint has a DAS system at DFW. These are more complex to convert than a normal site. Love Field is just served from two adjacent sites and doesn't have DAS. Robert via Samsung Galaxy S-III 32GB using Forum Runner

    They cannot take down or turn off the legacy network when they start installing panels, or there would be a one to two week period when the site would be dead. There must be a period when they both are installed on the tower. Additionally, they do not schedule removal of legacy equipment for at least 45 days after completion, to allow any issues to be worked out. That way, if there is a problem with the NV install, they can revert back to the legacy if they need to. Robert via Samsung Galaxy S-III 32GB using Forum Runner

    Is that the same site? That's crazy. I have never seen a site turn around that fast. Maybe the physical work has been done for awhile and they were just doing some final provisioning? Do you notice any performance improvements? Robert via Samsung Galaxy S-III 32GB using Forum Runner
