    Anyone think Sprint will give more priority to markets within the IBEZ when rolling out 2600? At least, after it's rolled out where there's already WIMAX.

    It shouldn't if there's fiber already in place. It should just be a matter of changing settings or fiber cards on both sides of the link for the faster speed.
  3. tmiw
    ...and it's now on the accepted map.
  4. tmiw
    While the others can do faster speeds, the big question is whether those speeds keep up with increasing load on the network. Based on Sprint's spectrum holdings and NV, I think Sprint will pass that test.

    Sprint just turned on LTE at the tower off of Mira Mesa Blvd. and Scranton Road (near the 805). I don't think it's on the acceptance maps yet.
  6. tmiw
    Yep. The tower is the flagpole at the NW corner in the shopping center.

    Could it be that it's a PCS only antenna? I've heard of that happening at other IBEZ sites.
  8. tmiw
    Ah. Looks like it came back for me.

    Is eHRPD down for anyone else? I toggled airplane mode with no change.

    ^ There's probably fiber already at said casinos, which would make bringing LTE there easier.

    3G was really bad around the UTC area today. Is Sprint working on towers there?
  12. tmiw
    Would reducing power output from the tower help with the reflection issue?
  13. tmiw
    Actually, scratch my last post. I think I understand why the IBEZ zone is as big as it is now.

    Maybe this is a stupid question, but wouldn't Sprint be able to transmit 800SMR on directional antennas facing away from the border? It wouldn't be ideal from a coverage perspective, but it should help. Plus consumer devices put out way less RF than the towers anyway, so our phones would be less likely to interfere with anything on the other side.
  15. tmiw
    It would be up to the person in possession of the HackRF device to make sure they're not transmitting where they shouldn't. They probably even have a disclaimer in their terms and conditions to that effect.

    ^ I thought the panels supported 800, but there just won't be any 800MHz RRUs installed.
  17. tmiw
    This. A large majority of towers in San Diego are 3G approved at this point, but only a tiny fraction are LTE approved. If all or almost all of the 3G approved towers got approved for LTE, Sprint could launch it in SD.
  18. tmiw
    Good point. I've noticed that I never connect to the flagpole near my house, even though it's a lot closer than the tower I do connect to.
  19. tmiw
    Mainly due to the fact that if the panels have to stay the same size, they need to shrink the other antennas inside to fit the 2500 one. Then they'll need to make the antennas resonate on the desired frequencies again by adding inductance (to make the antenna physically longer) or capacitance (if the antenna is too long), both which result in losses. Then again, this might not be as big of a deal at higher frequencies. HTC/Samsung/Apple manage to fit a bunch of frequencies in their phones without a problem.
  20. tmiw
    True, but wouldn't having three bands mean less performance for each band?
  21. tmiw
    I wonder how 2500 is going to work on a flagpole site. I know that 800 and 1900 use the same panels, but I thought 2500 uses different ones.
  22. tmiw
    Are you guys using the built-in antennas for scanning, or did you shell out for special antennas that can pick up 2500?
  23. tmiw
    Actually, some of the ham radio guys are suggesting RTLSDR instead of an actual spectrum analyzer. Hmm.
  24. tmiw
    The 15-2700MHz one would be nice for ham radio purposes, though I wish it went lower. It's still a steal though because spectrum analyzers usually go for $1000+ minimum.
  25. tmiw
    Doubtful. Depending on the PRL it'll just scan occasionally for an 800 signal but will otherwise stay on 1900.
