    Is it poossible to get a map of the country that shows each Network Vision site instead of looking at each map individually? Or do you have this map on the site already and I missed it?

    We have a Sprint market map that shows every market in the country. That's in the gallery tab.

     

    As for a map that shows every single NV site? We will not likely post that to the public. I think Sprint would not appreciate that going out publicly. However we are trying to build an online tool for Sponsor members to be able to access it.

    Network Vision/LTE - Long Island Market

    in Markets

    Posted

    Here is the Long Island market map. You tell me...

    If it is in the New York City market, then the dates are a little better. A/L is starting deployment in the NYC market this month. They are schedule to convert approximately 75-100 sites per month on average. They will all be usable when they come online. You won't have to wait until the end. However, it will take approx. 10 months to complete...start to finish.

     

    Sprint plans to announce the market as launched when they are complete with 50% of the sites. Sprint is currently estimating the "launch" of the NYC market in October 2012.

    Network Vision/LTE - Long Island Market

    in Markets

    Posted

    Talked to someone responsible for fixing a basically catastrophic tower issue on the South Shore, thats killed data service to a huge chunk of the Town of Hempstead.

     

    NV rollout is supposed to begin on the last week of March/First week of April.

     

    LTE is supposed to be turned on in a window between mid-June and the end of July.

     

    Rocco...

     

    I'm looking at the short term and long term NV schedules right this very second after reading this. Long Island is not on the short term schedule at all. That means that A/L will not begin deployment before the end of September. I do see Long Island on the long term schedule. We will have an article discussing Long Island in the not too distant future.

     

    Stay tuned to S4GRU.com for all the latest.

    PSA - Sprint offering upgrade credit

    in General Topics

    Posted

     

    AFAIK' date=' that's correct. Roughly it is 30 for feature phones, 40 for smartphones, and 50 for 4G phones and iPhones.

     

    But I could be wrong. I don't sell phones... I just support the network side.[/quote']

     

    This is my understanding. It went round and round in forums when the iPhone came out. I took a lot of heat from iPhoniacs when I told them that Sprint was going to charge $50 to SERO members for the iOS privellege.

     

    Some of those SERO people can be downright crazy. I was told I was jealous, I was told I was stupid, I was told that I should shut up.

     

    In the end, I was right. And that was deeply satisfying.

    Lightsquared's LTE network doomed

    in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment

    Posted

    Sprint just needs to move on from Lightsquared and focus on Network Vision and Clearwire. Sprint needs to put strict tabs on Clearwire and cannot let them delay on their LTE deployment. Its going to be a long year to have just a single 5x5 LTE carrier on Sprint when it could really use the 2.5 Ghz LTE to offload customers when outside in dense urban cities.

     

    Yeah, with Clearwire having the first 5,000 sites date out there so far, I don't want to hear any excuses on delay.

    GSlll rumored specs

    in Samsung

    Posted

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news. But I can all but guarantee that Sprint will not be releasing the GSIII in May if its released by Samsung then. :(

     

    The S4GRU writing staff has seen the Sprint LTE capable device schedule through summer. And there is nothing on there that could be the GSIII. However, maybe it might be an early Fall release?

    Thanks for posting!

    How long until Apple files for a patent on the S-Pen? I really want either the Note or the Note 10.1. It looks freakin sweet!

     

    I started to laugh at this. But you know what? I think it's not far fetched. And it's certainly not unprecedented with Apple.
