way cool

Great update! Thanks!!! Robert

Done... http://s4gru.com/ind...-idaho-markets/ Oh yeah...I must be a loser too! Robert

I'll put up Colorado, Utah and Idaho next. Just for you! Robert

DAS usually has it's backhaul through the property owner host. Most government agencies just tie it directly into their ISP. So in your case, I would guess if you're connected through DAS, either there are too many users on it, or the backhaul provided by the City of Peoria is a chokepoint. Or possibly, there is a chokepoint at the Sprint Phoenix switch. And if that's the case, it's probably affecting the entire market. Robert

Chris: Do you live in a Shentel coverage area? How does that work? Do you still get Sprint devices on the same day? Do you actually just have a Sprint account? I've always been curious how that works. Robert

by Robert Herron Sprint 4G Rollout Updates Wednesday, March 28, 2012 - 11:10 AM MDT Mark Hearn, the founder, editor and daily operator of SprintFeed.com is closing shop and heading on to new opportunities as an Editor at TechnoBuffalo. We will be sad to see him go from the daily news makings at Sprint. I personally visited SprintFeed.com several times per day. I have enjoyed my interactions with Mark talking about Sprint and about personal issues. We even share a similar faith. Mark: Thank you for your contributions to the online community and for Sprint fans. We wish you the best of luck with your new endeavors at TechnoBuffalo. We look forward to seeing you in your new role and we rejoice with you at this wonderful opportunity! Robert and the S4GRU Team! I would encourage everyone to stop by and thank Mark for his service!

Maps in the S4GRU Sponsor section are 100% accurate. Open Signal has inaccuracies and not comprehensive. Robert - Posted from my E4GT with ICS using Forum Runner

by Robert Herron Sprint 4G Rollout Updates Wednesday, March 28, 2012 - 3:41 AM MDT Sprint fans in the plains of Northern Indiana and also along the white sandy beaches of Florida's Paradise Coast have cause to celebrate! We are now prepared to tell you about the final pair of Round Two markets in Sprint's Network Vision/LTE deployment plans for 2012... South West Florida and Ft. Wayne/South Bend! Sprint's South West Florida market Sprint's Network Vision vendor Ericsson is scheduled to begin the South West Florida market in the middle of the Second Round. Ericsson and their subcontractors are tentatively scheduled to begin mobilization into the Sarasota/Ft. Myers area in August 2012 with the first sites should start to come live around Labor Day weekend. Sprint's South West Florida market covers Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte, Lee and Collier counties. Including the cities of Sarasota, Bradenton, Cape Coral, Ft. Myers, Naples, Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, Venice and Marco Island. It is bordered by the Tampa market to the north and Miami/West Palm market to the east. The SW Florida market will have 208 sites in total after Network Vision is complete. Sprint's SW Florida Market. All 200+ Network Vision sites are shown for the SW Florida market in this map. Click on image to enlarge. Sprint's Ft. Wayne/South Bend market Sprint's Network Vision vendor Samsung is scheduled to begin the FWA/SBN market later in the Second Round. Samsung and their subcontractors are scheduled to begin to start Network Vision/LTE deployment work late in the Fall in the Northern Indiana area. This Sprint market includes all of Northern Indiana. It includes Fort Wayne, South Bend, Marion, Elkhart, Mishawaka, Logansport, Warsaw, Goshen, Plymouth and Wabash. It is bordered by the West Michigan market to the north, Chicago market to the west, Indianapolis market to the south and Toledo market to the east. A total of 191 Network Vision sites. Sprint's Ft. Wayne/South Bend Market. All of the approximately 190+ Network Vision sites are shown for the FWA/SBN market in this map. Click on image to enlarge. Although we know the scheduled start date... It's exciting that we can tell you the start dates of the SW Florida and Ft. Wayne/South Bend markets. However, we cannot guarantee at this time that things will not change. Sprint has not officially announced these markets and for good reason. Sprint has three different OEM vendors, with several different crews in many markets at once. There could be final permitting and design delays, some vendors and/or crews will work at different speeds, weather issues and any number of unforeseen circumstances to complicate matters even further. The work hasn't started and they are keeping their options open. Sprint has said they may elect to slow down Network Vision in future quarters if cash flow becomes strained. And this could affect these markets. All of these reasons explain why Sprint likely elected not to announce these markets themselves at this time. But we know you don't want to wait for Sprint to tell you! With these caveats understood, we are releasing the information about these markets as it exists to date. Photo of SW Florida's Bonita Bay courtesy of Wikimedia Commons. We won't stop digging for you! Sprint 4G Rollout Updates will continue to scour through the data and gather deployment information for your use. It is our intent to provide at a minimum, all the Sprint markets that will likely begin Network Vision/LTE upgrades in 2012. And we intend to release the remaining unnamed markets in the next week. We will not likely announce communities slated for 2013, because the dates we hold for 2013 markets appear very tentative and subject to change. With many variables to sort out between now and 2013. Sprint could make significant shifts in deployment plans based on dynamic need change, funding, market permitting difficulties, etc. With the release of South West Florida and Ft. Wayne/South Bend markets today, that brings the total of Network Vision markets announced to 41. We have have a thread in our forums where we are keeping track of all the markets announced by Sprint and S4GRU.com. Click on this link here to view the Network Vision Market Running List. Stay tuned to Sprint 4G Rollout Updates. On Friday we will be releasing a special edition article regarding two markets with unique circumstance. You won't want to miss it. We will be talking about it in a few hours in advance in a S4GRU Live Chat at 9:30 PM Mountain Time on Thursday evening. Come join us! Photo of Ft. Wayne skyline courtesy of Wikimedia Commons. Information about the source: The information for all of our Network Vision information has been freely provided by several sources close to the Network Vision program who choose to remain anonymous. No source information will be released to protect anonymity. Special thanks to S4GRU Member digiblur for creating the South West Florida and Ft. Wayne/South Bend market maps! Thank you!

We may be talking about Cleveland in the Sunday night chat at 9:30 PM Mountain time. Robert

She's a brick house!!!

I have eaten at Spangles more than once when in Kansas! The best things in life come smothered with country gravy! Robert

Sorry, I don't know how I missed this post. I assume you are referring to the Sprint site in Spencerville, Ohio based on your profile. Below I have posted pics of where the Sprint site is on the North side of Spencerville. It looks like in the sat photo, that it's the same place that you took a picture of. If the yellow marker in the map below is in the same spot as the tower in your picture, than yes, you were looking at a Sprint site. Robert

Thanks! I have updated the file in the download center: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/files/file/18-cdma-800-testing-prl-21086xprl/ Robert

That's pretty much it, yes. Robert I'm not prepared to discuss the Missouri market at this time. Robert

S4GRU Member 4ringsnbr created a custom PRL for those of you PRL masters out there who want to search out the new CDMA 800 carriers in Network Vision markets. Here is the link to the S4GRU Download Center where it is hosted: http://s4gru.com/ind...-prl-21086xprl/ If you do end up ever actually connecting, turn off your 3G and run some speed tests on that 1xAdvanced 800 carrier. I would love to hear how it is operating speed wise since 1xA can be up to 3 times faster than 1xRTT, depending on how it is deployed. Robert

Nope. Not at all. In the NV Permit Drawings I have seen (like the ones posted in the S4GRU Download Center), most sectors have just one combined 800/1900 panel. Some really heavy ones have two. There must be marked differences in the new technologies that allow them to use less. Robert

Yep. Microwave on top, wider panels are NV 800/1900 combined panel. Everything else is legacy, to be removed later. Robert

Same issue in Santa Fe, NM within the city limits. AT&T wanted to put a concealed site within an abandoned chimney of an old church and people fought it. It still hasn't been approved two years later, AFAIK. Crazy. Robert
