    What...some spoiled cole slaw on your pulled pork sandwich might get you? AJ

    I can favour you with some off colour humour, my good neighbour. AJ

    Yeah, I heard that a wireless nerd focused sequel is in the works called "Harold & Kumar Go to the White Castle Tower." Now, are you sure that you did not mean Crown Castle? AJ

    That comparison would not likely change the results one iota. CDMA1X Advanced typically uses less power on the downlink -- that is is how it gains capacity and/or coverage -- and should use no more power on the uplink. And HD Voice (EVRC-NW) seems to make the impression that it requires greater throughput, but it does not. Its average voice throughput rates are essentially the same as those of EVRC, but EVRC-NW just uses a more advanced codec to squeeze more voice bandwidth into the same bit rate. AJ

    If we get to that point, then it is already too late. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. AJ

    Yes, that is true, but you are seemingly distorting that truth to serve your argument. In its legacy network, Sprint often had insufficient backhaul per site for airlink capacity at that site. Network Vision backhaul -- even at only 300 Mbps or so -- will exceed airlink capacity essentially at every site. But there is no point in paying for backhaul capacity that would greatly exceed airlink capacity just for "specsmanship." Such would provide no benefit and would be a huge waste of money. AJ

    The "thousands of people" comment is misleading. Whether one user is connected to the sector or a thousand users are connected to the sector, the total downlink throughput for that LTE sector·carrier maxes out at 37 Mbps. The airlink is the bottleneck, not the backhaul, so 1 Gbps is definitely not necessary anytime soon. AJ

    Haven't hooked up to it, or haven't hooked up with it? AJ

    Per sector·carrier, EV-DO Rev A has a peak throughput of 3.1 Mbps, but average aggregate throughput is likely closer to 2 Mbps. AJ

    EV-DO Rev B would make no difference in those situations. All that it really adds is 64-QAM modulation, which would be irrelevant under weak signal conditions. In other words, where LTE 1900 fades below usability, EV-DO Rev B would be no faster than Rev A. AJ

    My question: why would you be concerned about the total capacity of the site? With LTE, no user can connect to more than one sector at a time. AJ
  12. WiWavelength
    In a typical site configuration, the lowest numbered sector covers 300-60 degrees, the second sector 60-180 degrees, the third sector 180-300 degrees. All of the above reference N to 0 degrees and reflect a clockwise rotation. AJ
  13. WiWavelength
    Yes/no, who really cares? PTT is largely passé. The industry and society have moved on. AJ

    Not a holy war, this is an eviction. The derelict house has been condemned, the land slated for redevelopment. The bulldozers are already waiting at the property line. AJ

    FRANK AND ESTELLE COSTANZA NEED LTE! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEMHtoWGLW0 AJ

    Most sites have three sectors. In Sprint's initial LTE deployment, each sector has a peak data capacity of effectively 37 Mbps, but average data capacity is likely closer to 20 Mbps. So, for you to download a large file and average 20 Mbps, you would probably have to be one of very few users on that sector at that time. AJ

    One last hookup with iDEN before the breakup? AJ
  18. WiWavelength
    Does it have an external "antenna" port? AJ
  19. WiWavelength
    The $10 monthly fee is just a less threatening way of telling iDEN subs this... AJ
  20. WiWavelength
    I rest my case... AJ
  21. WiWavelength
    I agree. Latency may be just as, if not more important than throughput for "light" data activities. But I am not sure that the VZW-Sprint comparison is relevant. AJ
  22. WiWavelength
    Jenks Trojans. But not the condoms. AJ
  23. WiWavelength
    Yes, I think that I was very clear in my previous post. Do you have any stats to show that VZW somehow has generally lower latency than does Sprint? AJ
  24. WiWavelength
    The so called "race to idle" does not really apply to voice, which is a synchronous transmission activity. Voice bits continue ad infinitum. LTE Advanced, using 2x2 uplink MIMO, cannot transmit those voice bits before they arrive at the radio stack. So, for modulation complexity, the lower, the better -- to ensure accurate reception. AJ

    Not a phone, it is a "handset" or "device." AJ
