WiWavelength

Rest assured, both A1428 and A1429 support band 5 (Cellular 850 MHz) LTE. AJ

RichardXy and all the others who feel spurned by WiMAX need to get over it, grow a pair, and stop making these kinds of pointless, bitter posts. You act as if Clearwire is just standing pat on all of this spectrum, while some angel is waiting in the wings to deploy if only it could gain access to the spectrum. Wrong. No other carrier wants the spectrum unless it can get it for pennies on the dollar. The FCC set reasonable, population based BTA construction requirements for BRS/EBS 2600 MHz spectrum, and Clearwire met those requirements. Anyone who thinks that Clearwire shoulda, coulda, woulda deployed WiMAX across the entire Sprint footprint is living in fantasy land and/or has little understanding of wireless propagation. AJ

Good luck with that. Even if all carriers in the future adhere solely to the LTE standard, disparate spectrum bands, technical limitations in devices, and allegiances/feuds among the carriers will prevent ubiquitous roaming. Technological convergence is not the hold up, folks. 3GPP/3GPP2 cross standard roaming is already possible. But wireless carriers do not want to allow roaming unless absolutely necessary and on favorable terms. The only thing that will bring about ubiquitous roaming/coverage is nationalization of the wireless infrastructure. No. That is the whole point of VoLTE. It does not require a separate carrier, not even a separate protocol. It is just packet switched voice data with a dash of QoS thrown into the data pot. If VoLTE were to require a separate voice carrier, it would be practically pointless. AJ

Hmm, still could be a lot of multipath reflections off the hull. AJ

Gee, I don't know. That full metal construction looks like it would make a great Faraday cage against RF. AJ

If VZW does refarm for LTE prior to its AWS 2100+1700 MHz deployment, it could be as much, if not more Cellular 850 MHz than PCS 1900 MHz. VZW's PCS holdings are much smaller compared to those of AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile. VZW has a lot of single license 10 MHz PCS markets. But VZW is the largest Cellular license holder, and every Cellular license is 25 MHz bandwidth -- with at least 20 MHz of that contiguous. AJ

Sounds like you are getting a lot of work done... Folks, this is the type of excessive usage that makes unlimited data untenable. So, I guess enjoy it while it lasts because some users relish sucking the teat dry. Unlimited data will go the way of the dodo, or slow speeds will be here again. AJ

And by "get above the ground clutter," I really mean steamroll all of you little people and your Cubist art. AJ

This is what I drive to get "above the ground clutter" and help with RF reception. AJ

Off the top of my head, iPhone 5 is the lone exception. All other VZW LTE devices are LTE 750 only. AJ

Since Sprint has long had removable SIMs next year on the Network Vision roadmap, I am willing to give Sprint the benefit of the doubt. There is a legit reason why Sprint has used embedded SIMs for its early LTE devices. One theory that I have proposed is the iDEN shutdown, since iDEN also uses SIMs. AJ

Because of incompatibility between certain devices and carriers, HD Voice probably will not be widespread until VoLTE takes over. AJ

Interesting factoid... If you own any CDs, DVDs, BDs, etc., chances are good that they were pressed at Sony DADC in Terre Haute. AJ

They cannot all be downlinks. They have to be paired with uplinks somewhere. AJ

Well, then, he must be wearing Superman tights because supposedly WiMAX 2600 cannot penetrate even a wet paper bag. AJ

No, the max speed limit here is 75 mph. Any higher would be unauthorized speeding, a violation of the Ts and Cs. AJ

I have seen WiMAX at 75 mph. Does that count? AJ

Oh, I doubt that Randall would be satisfied unless all CMRS spectrum were in the loving arms of Ma Bell. You know, just for warmth and safekeeping. That I know of, no one. It is not in use for mobile purposes. AJ

The first lien holder is Mother Nature. The second is the American people. And that holds true for all electromagnetic spectrum. AJ

Coming soon to theaters...the sequel... "Driving Miss digiblur" AJ

You are still off target. The issue is transmitters in X type mobile devices interfering with receivers in Y type mobile devices because X type mobile devices transmit on an uplink that is proximate to the downlink that Y type mobile devices receive. It has nothing to do with base stations. AJ

I think that you are missing the point. The current problem is that mobile transmissions in the uplink of Dish's AWS-4 band could interfere with downlink reception in the PCS G and AWS-2 H blocks. So, Ian proposes swapping the AWS-4 uplink and downlink so that the latter is then adjacent to the H block downlink. I had the same idea six months ago, but it does not work overall. It would just shift the uplink/downlink interference issue up about 200 MHz. See the band plan (to aid interpretation, I have added a few colored labels): AJ

This is a Gaylord Hotels property, right? That name has become the butt of jokes because of Gaylord Focker and this... AJ

That just robs Peter to pay Paul, so to speak, because then those same interference issues get shuffled to the AWS-3 downlink, J block downlink, and federal spectrum that are adjacent to the current AWS-4 downlink, which your proposal would switch to uplink. AJ
