  1. If it's accepted does that mean it will be ready for testing? Because I went out after seeing this post and still didn't see any evidence of fiber

    Tests( Throughput, latency, Setup, HO) have already been performed on KC03RW410 (37.011667, -94.541111) all sectors on Saturday evening. Ericssion passed this site as 4G/LTE upgrade.data have been Sent to Sprint for Approval it. wait till Monday you will know.

  2. 3G = EVDO hardware upgrades are complete and accepted. New backhaul may not be active.

    800 = CDMA 800 MHz carriers are complete. May need custom PRL to use 800.

    4G = LTE work is complete, inspected and accepted. Usually active right away.

    In Progress = Site is confirmed as Network Vision work is underway via internal source or S4GRU member. In Progress sites may be near completion, just about to begin, or somewhere in between.

     

    When a site has NV equipment installed, all three components are there and ready to be used, but in some cases only 3G, or only 4G, or some combination is initially available. This can be due to a lack of backhaul, lacking carrier cards for 3G, or any number of other factors. Eventually, the majority of sites will end up as 3G/4G/800.

     

    Thanks man for explanation..

  3. Ok, each pin type means those items have been accepted by a Sprint contractor inspection crew to meet the standards in place for that part of the upgrade. Just because its 3G only doesn't mean its not getting more, it either failed a inspection on 4G or something is not ready yet. Often the hold up for 4G can be backhaul (the network connection either wire or microwave). Your in KC metro which has a lot of 4G done before the 3G which always confused me but I guess there was a shortage of some item for 3G.

     

    The thing Sprint is doing that keeps me here while the rollout reaches me is they are upgrading most everything at most every site. Of couse there are exceptions but 99%+ towers get NV upgrade. Most of those but in PR and near the border with Mexico

    will get an 800 Mhz upgrade too once the old Nextel IDEN network shuts down later this year. The 800 Mhz signal seems to cover a bit larger area inside buildings and some 1900 towers are very close to each other so not all will get 800 and some out in the boonies where its just not needed based on usage per tower won't either.

     

    I urge you to read the posts on the links below that are from people who really know and can explain it better than me.

    Thanks a lot !

  4. How many will get the upgrades? All of them. How many in the market are done? Well, start counting.... because I have no idea.

    You can see the percentages on the NV Running List thread pinned in the Network Vision portion of the forums.

    Thanks mate for reply ! but i can see that in the Network Vision portion of the forums showing 60% completed ! curious to know how many total sites instead % completion.
