I would argue that the actual occurrence of that is almost nonexistent since the network is tuned a certain way for eCSFB.
-
All the towers surrounding your area are upgraded to an extent for LTE, just need to increase site density. Have everyone you know who's on Sprint continue to report it using Sprint Zone.
-
It's impossible for you to be an area with data only coverage since LTE and voice are coming from the same towers. Looks like a map error to me.
-
Sprint is on MSG's DAS and it really shows how awesome experience could be in a public venue.
-
That's what I mean by co-located. So you have ALU NV sites with legacy Clearwire WiMAX still there?
-
Maybe they can't be upgraded at all and need to be moved. Maybe they can't get access to the building anymore. There was a site here in NYC that was located on the roof of a hospital that went bankrupt. Due to bankruptcy court and change in ownership, Sprint was basically stuck not able to get access to the roof to work on the equipment. The site would go down for weeks on end and nothing could be done. https://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20140122/forest-hills/former-parkway-hospital-becomes-eyesore-amid-uncertain-future (hospital article) You can see the legacy Sprint 3G equipment on the roof: https://static.panoramio.com.storage.googleapis.com/photos/original/58945890.jpg They finally got approval to move the site to a neighboring building and built out a new site completely NV ready.
-
Are most of them co-located?
-
Yes but in urban markets that signal propagation and performance could be rendered moot by the density in place. I'm sure eventually it would get upgraded but there is zero reason to invest millions upon millions today to rip out perfectly good Samsung 2xCA equipment.
-
The difference between 3xCA and 2xCA based on the current site density is negligible at best. You can walk one block and hand off between a Clearwire B41 and an ALU B41 all day.
-
I have a few devices
-
It depends on where. I've been downtown and gotten stuck on 3G quite often.
-
Small cells in NYC have to follow strict guidelines, so they may not look like ones in other markets
-
Yeah unfortunately I'm still in the US so I don't have an international SIM to test.
-
I've noticed more and more how optimized the network has gotten. In my apartment my phone will switch between very usable B41 and B25 without any hiccup, which is nice. What this market needs is more B41 infill, which is where those Mobilitie small cells will come into play.
-
So here's a question. How can I verify that my phone is unlocked without having to do the iTunes wipe and restore?
-
That's why I said SMB specifically. The local guy who tows cars maybe, but not a 5000 line CL account with MPLS and integrated devices using Skype on their exchange platform.
-
That's a nice case, I usually keep my phone in my pocket so a slim case is the way to go.
-
Nice man, gotta check Amazon, that's usually my go-to
-
The difference is that SMB customers may look at T-Mobile, but no major company will ever switch because they look for more than just mobility.
-
I didn't say that at all, was actually asking how they would deploy it, every site or every 3-4th site?
-
That's what I was thinking as well. Would make the most sense but also would cost the most.
-
What cases are people using with their 10s? I'm looking into getting a replacement case that won't cause the flash glare that my cheap one now does.
-
It's just extra capacity, nothing more.
-
Thanks buddy
-
The biggest question mark will be how they choose to deploy the spectrum. Does L700 go on every site, or every other site, or every 4th site? That's the million dollar question. In rural and suburban markets, deploying L700 at full power helps blanket the area with coverage, but does nothing for capacity.
