What are the dynamics of CDMA or LTE carriers and users? To better phrase this, here is what I was wondering. How many users can simultaneously download/talk at full speed on a single EV-DO/1xRTT/1xAdvanced/LTE carrier given ideal back haul? Can the CDMA/LTE carriers dynamically adjust voice quality or data rates to accomodate more simultaneous users?

ummmm.....?

Hmm.... New Orleans FIT = Urban testing Montana FIT = Rural testing? Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2

maybe 1900 a-f block 10x10 fit testing?

It will probably be magical.........

At least we can see that the evo can connect to lte Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2

Wa wa waaaaaa................ HOWEVER, if you read through the FCC report you will see that SouthernLinc plans to deploy 1xAdvanced and LTE in the SMR as well. If you look at their coverage you will also notice that Nextel is their only roaming partner..... Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2

Prolly a money limitation. Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2

Unless you plan to test 800 MHz SMR in Chicago, you won't notice a difference. Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2

This might mean the new SGSIII will have a keyboard. If this EOL were just for it being wimax, I would think the Epic Touch would get EOL'd first like the Evo 3D was.

Not Samsung. They make nearly everything in house in South Korea, a first world country with fairer labor laws. Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2

Sprint is in a much better capacity position because of that. Sprint also has additional 1900 channels to expand into with demand as well. I don't know how much unused 700 spectrum VZW and AT&T have to burn beyond the 10x10 (and 5x5 sometimes for ATT) channels they are currently using.

So sad. Maybe 800 will help. Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2

Sprint has said they have reached a peak in pricing structure and won't raise prices for a long time. So, price increases don't necessarily mean new infrastructure (Sprint is staying put at pricing but full steam ahead on network building). Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2

Well, I for one will be laughing my ass off when my friend (the one who uses VZ unlimited LTE and says Sprint sucks) begs his parents to switch to Sprint.

8x8 mimo antennas in a phone would be a technological marvel. It would make sense of the 100mhz of spectrum was less than 2ghz but as it stands the signal just doesn't go very far or penetrate buildings well, It is best suited for use in small cells and large gathering areas where cell providers struggle to provide capacity for a large group of users rather than bandwidth speeds. Putting 8x8 mimo and 80mhz carriers on their network would be irresponsible as it would fail to suit this need (in the capacity constrained areas) as the carrier would quickly reach its maximum user capacity. It would also set unrealistically high expectations for users who can't receive a good 2.5ghz signal (most people). They (might) be disappointed when they only get 60mbps when Sprint claims speeds of up to, whatever ungodly real world speed it is, let's say 400mbps.

They got hacked. Why? U mad VZW? Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2

Unless they're on Sprint.... or Tmo. Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2

I say yes but only on 2500mhz and MAYBE 1900mhz spectrum. The 800mhz spectrum should be post-paid only. I think V-Mo and Boost are part of the reason the Sprint network has fallen so far in network quality.

The 1900 certainly will and I can confirm that the Wilson 801247 amp is designed to amplify the G-block. I bet the 800 antenna does as well but maybe not as well as an antenna specifically tuned for SMR bands. This antenna is designed to amplify the 850 cellular band which is only slightly different in frequency than SMR when it comes to making antennas. However, what is key is that the amplifier supports SMR bands, which most do not! Amplifiers are very specific in their operating frequencies, so specific that Wilson warns that SMR users will see no gain from an 850 cellular amplifier like the 801247. So basically, the antennas work fully but the amplifiers will only work partially (1900 only) unless you get a separate amplifier which is specifically designed for the SMR 800 (iden) band. Edit: just fyi, Wilson does make Verizon 700mhz and ATT 700mhz LTE amplifiers.

I noticed the disclaimer in your signature. Do you work for Sprint?

The only advantage to shutting down the CDMA network would be to free up spectrum for other technologies but seeing as how they are still selling CDMA-only phones, I doubt the network will be shutdown soon. If I had to guess, they would probably shut down the network at least three years after they sell their last CDMA phone. Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2
