    Worry not. The next step in handset evolution is to have no bezel at all... AJ
  2. WiWavelength
    Nope, just the opposite. It does so to conserve battery power. AJ

    Based on that sequence, will your next be Nexus 13 or Nexus 1? AJ

    Eh, most of the other guys lean toward the GSM side of things. So, I like to prod them a little bit. I basically said that the 3GPP standards are a convoluted mess -- and they are. And that is a big part of the debate over Kevin's article. What is LTE-Advanced? Does it have to meet just one, all, or some set proportion of the Release 10 standards to be considered LTE-Advanced? There is no clear cut answer. On the flip side, the 3GPP2 standards are practically an exercise in simplicity -- EV-DO Rev A, Rev B, Rev B multi carrier. I long for what could have been... AJ

    The scientific method is all about putting forward hypotheses, then testing them. And, well, sometimes they just do not pan out. Damn, I really thought that I had this one. All of the evidence seemed to be there. Oh well, back to the drawing board... AJ

    You collected over 5000 points in the area of Chicken Annie's, yet you missed out on the fried chicken. I am starting to doubt that you are really Robert's alternate self. AJ

    I am in a Google+ private community with Kevin, Brian Klug of AnandTech, Neal Gompa of ExtremeTech, and a few others. There were some differences of opinion about what constitutes LTE-Advanced, but we had a good discussion tonight about Kevin's GigaOm article. AJ

    Chicken Annie's is literally no more than a mile west of the state line. When the prevailing winds are blowing, I am sure that you can smell the fried chicken and onion rings over the border. Eat your heart out, Missouri. AJ

    Boost the signal that you get with your Airave? No. The Airave is an independent femtocell. It does not rely on any signal from the macrocell network. AJ

    That is correct to an extent. But Sprint has been licensed PCS 1900 MHz spectrum in all 50 states and Puerto Rico for at least the last 15 years. So, no, the above should not be a problem inside the US. For example, Sprint has no native service in central Montana, but if you own a ranch there and want to set up an Airave, you can do so because Sprint still controls licensed spectrum in that area. AJ

    azmattaz06, you need to do better research. S4GRU is loaded with information why the VZW LTE deployment has gone so fast: no LTE-Advanced compatibility, no RRUs, no dual band panels, no AWS capable devices. I like to reference it to the Jason Hanky episode on "Seinfeld." It goes a little something like this, "When you don't actually do the steps, you can go through them pretty quick." Watch the whole thing, or jump to 3:30... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c654iTRuxic&feature=player_detailpage#t=209s AJ

    Not on the uplink... AJ

    North Sight is Proxtel, your local iDEN carrier in Puerto Rico. http://www.proxtelwireless.com AJ

    Read the article closely. This just seems like circular reasoning, as the article is quoting our speculation here at S4GRU. AJ

    Yes, Puerto Rico is behind the rest of the country in 800 MHz reconfiguration. But that is not really the problem. Sprint-Nextel does not control the SMR 800 MHz spectrum in which CDMA1X 800 would be deployed. North Sight Communications does. http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/license.jsp?licKey=6 So, public safety relocation to the 700 MHz band will not magically allow Sprint to utilize SMR 800 MHz in Puerto Rico. Rather, Puerto Rico will likely remain PCS 1900 MHz only for the foreseeable future. AJ

    For Veruca, darling, in this thread, we have a standard video clip for you... AJ

    Really, that "old saw"? AJ
  18. WiWavelength
    Power management has nothing to do with it. The issue is antenna design and separate transmit paths. Apple's external antenna design is both an advantage and a limitation. "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated." CDMA1X will still be alive and kicking five years from now. You can come back then and eat crow. AJ

    WiMAX carriers and TD-LTE carriers can be run from the same panels. They may need to be separated in frequency, however, because both are TDD airlinks. Unless their TDD rotations are perfectly synchronized, they do require some frequency separation because one TDD airlink may be transmitting on the downlink while the other is receiving on the uplink (and vice versa). If that were to happen and a WiMAX carrier were adjacent in frequency to a TD-LTE carrier, catastrophic interference would be the likely result. AJ
  20. WiWavelength
    Yes, exclusively, against my good advice. AJ
  21. WiWavelength
    My experience with Clearwire sites is that they rely heavily on microwave backhaul. AJ
  22. WiWavelength
    Can he do "Fosse, Fosse, Fosse!" instead? AJ
  23. WiWavelength
    Most/all panels can be reused. I suspect that is how Clearwire is able to get so many sites live with TD-LTE so quickly and economically. AJ

    Nexus 7

    WiWavelength replied to 9erHater's topic in Tablets

    Even though I already have a Nexus 7, if a 1920 x 1200, 2GB RAM Nexus 7.7 comes in at $250 or less, I will bite. AJ

    For SMR 900 MHz discussion, see this thread (and note my graph): http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/390-how-much-of-the-900-mhz-band-being-used/ Sprint has enough total SMR 900 MHz bandwidth to run a CDMA2000 carrier or a small LTE carrier, but the spectrum is not contiguous. It is interleaved, and that makes it practically worthless for anything but iDEN. AJ
