None in NM. Yay! Robert

I think you will be waiting until the Fall then. I don't suspect to find out any details about the Sprint version of the GS3 for a long time. Robert

Thanks Ben. Sounds very consistent to what I reported in this article: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-83-new-network-visionlte-deployment-details-and-central-jersey-market-work-is-under-way-with-several-sites-live/ Robert

The Viper has SVDO? I missed that. Thanks. Robert

Based on the context of how I see them in the documents I have read, 4G LTE Cores and LTE DDC's are used synonymously and have always discussed with CDMA switch centers. I can also see through schematics that ALL 4G LTE data gets routed from the site, through backhaul to the 4G LTE Core that each site is assigned to and then gets distributed to the internet. However, I don't have much more understanding about the LTE Cores than this. I will admit where my knowledge is short so I don't have someone come along and try to discredit me. However, I am picturing it exactly the way you are outlining above. Robert

Sounds good to me! Robert

Aren't we all hypocrites when we deeply examine ourselves? I know I am! However, the GNex will be a solid device for a long time for many folks. The lack of LTE will only be an issue for some people. If you live in a WiMax area and rely on that service, then you shouldn't upgrade to a LTE device. However, if you live in a Non WiMax area, need/want a new device, especially a flagship device, that moving to a LTE device is a no-brainer. Robert

There are more than 2 sites in your area. See my map below. The network.sprint.com website only shows sites that have received or will receive temporary upgrades in a six month window. This map, and many others are available in our Sponsors section. Click on image to Enlarge.

I'm not certain why they are separate from switches, but in most cases they are. Robert

I have never had LOS with my E4GT since the fix. And I only had it twice before that. If I remember correctly, the issue was WiMax antenna related. Robert

Think switch, but for 4G LTE data. Robert

And then head off to the Mall for a Cinnabon! What a missed opportunity! Robert I saw that. I just shook my head when I read it. Robert

I have seen this slide. These are not markets. These are dates that 4G cores will be ready. Sprint is housing a 4G core in Stockton. I better get a hold of Mark. Robert

The Upper Central Valley market is not in the first two rounds of Network Vision. SprintFeed is not even around any more, when did they say that? Also, I do not see any LTE FIT's in the Stockton area. By my information, planning and design is not yet completed in this market. They can't deploy anything without it being designed first. It doesn't appear to me that anything is going on in Stockton at all. The closest activity I see to Stockton is in the SF Bay market. In the Brentwood and Altamont Pass areas. There will be some sites in those areas that are scheduled to begin work in July. However, there have been lots of delays in the SF Bay market deployment. So I don't even know if those dates are still good. Robert

I personally use my E4GT side by side with my wife's EVO all the time. I don't see the big deal everyone makes about Sammy radios. I'm sorry, I just don't. Robert

Yes, you can use all Clearwire WiMax sites as native coverage until 2015. I too occasionally use WiMax protection sites here in New Mexico. I'm not certain when I'm going to upgrade yet, either. Robert

It is not in the first two rounds of Network Vision at this time. My market is even larger as the 32nd largest city, and no dice. Unfortunately, with a deployment plan, there will be some early winners. Not everyone can be in the beginning. We can commiserate together. Robert

The Marion WiMax Protection Site went live a long time ago. We announced it back on July 26, 2011. However, I have heard several reports of people trying to connect to it since then, and have been unable to. There are a few protection sites like this one which just flat out aren't working. And getting Clearwire out to fix Protection Sites is almost an impossibility. I have tried several times. Robert

Thanks for the screenshot. Of note, it is coming up SID 22429, which is allocated to Idaho/Utah/Western Wyoming. It should be 22435, according to this. It looks like Sprint has made some modifications to the SID list. Or maybe there is an error in the programming of the carrier? Cool stuff. Robert

Anecdotally, this seems to be the case. I can't believe I used the term "anecdotally" back to back. Robert

Zip codes don't mean anything to me. But if you are in Joliet (I am guessing from your profile), then you are in an active Network Vision area. Some of the sites on the west side going out toward I-55 have already been converted. There are maps in our Sponsors area that show details of where. Robert
