In rural spacing one 700/800 mhz tower can cover the distance of about 3 PCS 1900 towers.

 

Not to mention Verizon and ATT went on a buying spree and bought out the rural carriers which helped a lot since they didn't have to build out native coverage. Sprint and T-mobile has no such liberties but Sprint is fighting back with their alliance with CCA & NetAmerica announced about two weeks ago.

Ah ic. But verizon and at&t are kinda struggling with LTE capacity cause of there LTE only running on 700/800mhz towers? And that's why verizon is rolling out aws capadability?

AWS 1700/2100 Band 4 10x10mhz FDD-LTE

And that's why rite now sprint and T-Mobile are struggling in rural coverage in LTE?

Yes... lower frequencies propagate better..

What frequencies does tmobiles LTE run on?

1700/2100.

 

No. eSMR 800 LTE requires eCSFB compliance (NV 3G + eCSFB software update) and cluster launching in addition to backhaul. Roseville has none of those and none are planned yet for this area. Closest place that might get LTE 800 anytime soon is probably Modesto area or up in Yuba city or down towards Dixon / Vacaville.

Esmr 800 LTE reaches further rite?

I wold guess it's up somewhere on the roof and probably hidden behind parapets which you can see on Google maps / earth.

What's aws capadability?

I read that part of nv 2.0 rollout is upgrading towers to esmr800, so for example are the towers that are accepted here in roseville esmr800 accepted?

The B41 NV 2.0 deployment is already going faster both in permitting and physical installations than network vision 1.0 ever went. There are original permits still lagging about whereas most NV 2.0 permits are already approved or close to approval merely about a month after initial application.

 

$8 billion in CAPEX with the majority earmarked for just the network vision 2.0 deployment of 8T8R B41 can do a great many things like hiring contractors that actually do their job well... money talks when you're dealing with contractors and the new ones look to be in great shape.

They can if they execute the deployment on time and efficiently which they have not.

Do you think son will push the nv plan quicker?

Verizon started in 2009.

I understand, but can't sprint leap ahead of Verizon or at least move up to the same level because of sprints nv plan?

Maybe!

Is it true that Verizon is 4years ahead of sprint in deployment?

Tower workers working on Sunday, never would think so.

Do I just have to root my sprint nexus 5 in order to make it work with t mobile?

The tower on top of a building off of van ness and el comino has work being done.

Most likely yes.

 

Normal backhaul orders when placed usually take a minimum of 90 days and usually end up taking more around the 120 day mark before new backhaul is installed and fired up. This is if there are no issues between the integration team and the LEC etc...working with AT&T for backhaul can be a pain for the integration teams and everyone needs to be on the same page.

 

As a Network Engineer I experience these things on a daily basis. Most likely the backhaul orders were placed a while ago and they have usually pulled fiber from wherever they need to up into the MPOE. Most of the time the fiber is terminated and actually connected to the cell sites base station switch ahead of time, but the ports are turned down.

 

The integration team's job is to up those ports and integrate the site into Sprints network sending traffic over the new backhaul (fiber) and disconnecting the old backhaul. T1's...DS3's etc. It is to their advantage to submit the backhaul orders ahead of time because of the lead time that is required, that way the integration team can usually flip the switch to the new backhaul overnight.

Wow that's so interesting! Is the backhaul work visible like the tower work?

6 Acceptances in Elk Grove cluster - 2x 3G and 4x 4G LTE

1 4G Acceptance in Yuba City cluster off Hwy 99 & Rio Oso Road south of Olivehurst

Was the backhaul ready on those towers in elk grove that are accepted LTE? Cause they lit up quickly.

Haha I wouldn't be surprised if lilo pulls a nice April fools joke on us

Do you guys think sprint will ever get better then verizon and at&t in coverage?

I meant above*

I'm lovin eldorado hills upgraded 3g I'm getting about 1mb everywhere I go:)

One of my saved contacts called me and it appeared on my caller ID as unknown. Could that be a carrier problem? Cause I got it where I always had bad service and dropped calls.

What does NID and SID mean?

What's the upper central valley market pop?

How come the coverage isn't that good?

Your phone msl. You can get it by asking sprint support.
