That's great, you live in a big city where 2.5 would fair well, but sprint serves more than just big cities, and if they do what some suggest, they will essentially be the cdma version of Tmo. If it doesn't work in my area, what's the point in having it? I will never benefit from 2.5 in my small town. ....it just won't work well here with the tower placement.

I don't have band 41 in my city but after the experience in Los Angeles proper this past month, I think B41 is more important than ever. My phone 6 stuck to a weak B41 signal more than a weak B25 signal.  I was pulling 5 to 20 megs depending if I was on a clear tower or an ALU equipment at -115 to -125 rsrp.  I have to disagree. Once you experience it, it will change your perception of it. 

As for propagation, i found it to be very adequate.  The only times I really lost B41 was deep in my hotel.  

The unpaired Lower 700 MHz D/E blocks are 3GPP codified as band 29 for supplemental downlink carrier aggregation.

No, the reason Dish would not have participated as such in the AWS-3 auction would not have been limited finances. The reason would have been already plentiful spectrum holdings.

 

Had Dish merged with Sprint, it would have gotten its spectrum prize -- Sprint's huge, 100+ MHz tracts of BRS/EBS. Dish would not have needed further spectrum.

 

Not to mention, Dish already had its own nationwide 40 MHz of S Band AWS-4, which is 3GPP standardized as band 23 for up to 20 MHz FDD. That could have been in service on infrastructure and devices by now, matching or exceeding VZW "XLTE" and T-Mobile "wideband" bandwidth in every market.

 

And that does not even touch upon Sprint's longstanding PCS and SMR spectrum, nor upon Dish's unpaired Lower 700 MHz and PCS/AWS-2 H block spectrum.

Yep. Looks like they're abandoning the Rf combiners in high capacity sites for another set of antenna and radio heads like Samsung.

I found four permits in Farmington's system that went through in March 2015. This is the second permit. Again only for $10,000.

Permits 58499 to 58502. I will post in premier this weekend.

As often that I criticize T-Mobile, a merger with Dish would be a wonderful thing for them, in terms of increasing their spectrum holdings. Especially where they really need more spectrum, such as in the Chicago Market.

 

Currently, T-Mobile is preparing to have 15x15 AWS on LTE soon here in Chicago. With Dish Network AWS3 spectrum, they'd have both 15x15 AWS and 15x15 AWS3 likely all on LTE, along with Dish having an additional 15mhz unpaired. This would help T-Mobile tremendously and I hope for their customers' benefit this merger happens as soon as it is possible.

 

Also, it is very unlikely that the government would oppose this merger in any way, so that part of the process ought to be fairly quick, and since DT is so heavily desiring to sell T-Mobile, that part of the process ought to be quick too. Even still, once a deal has been reached between the companies, hopefully Dish will allow T-Mobile to deploy that AWS3 spectrum right away.

Well ATT came out yesterday in favor of the net neutrality IF the FCC allowed the Directv merger. Interesting as If ATT gets Directv, I don't see an issue with this not going through.

hahaha! So I was looking at the right page, just didn't use the correct database.

There is also a Farmington page that I track but they only put up the list of approved permits monthly. Roswell is the same.

I can't figure out SAnta Fe and El Paso is just a confusing site to go through.

Where are you searching for permits at?

I don't want to disclose me secrets!!!!! Just kidding.

This website shows all the queries you can run.  I use post 2008 for new construction and Commercial Alterations. The one i found was in Commercial Alterations.

Which site is it? What type of tower structure is it?

Watching which forum I am in, it is at Wyoming and Osuna. This was on the B41 schedule a long time ago to get B41 (none of ABQ has B41 so not hurt there).

It is a monopole in the back of the Lutheran church there.

Yesterday, 6/1/2015, CABQ approved a permit for the tower that is already NV complete and is broadcasting B25 and B26.

Interesting the value is for $10K. I wonder if they will be replacing the panels for tri-band. The contractor is MASTEC NETWORK SOLUTIONS LLC. Permit #201590702.

How did this turn into another T-mobile argument?

Can we start a countdown clock for WiMax?

Sprint is down today and T-Mobile is up.

A lot of people are down today. Typical sell off mentality when it comes to dollar pressure.

You didn't say exactly where.  Is it Mission Beach, South Mission Beach or Mission Bay?  

 

Mission Beach It's one of the last places in San Diego to get NV installed. There are 2 very important sites that will serve the beach that don't appear to even been started.  I checked a few days ago and saw nothing new. Today I got very poor 3G with no working data near Belmont Park.  In Sprint's defense, all major carriers have had issues in Mission Beach.  Most likely for the same reasons.  This is a case where WiFi will come in handy.

 

The news might not be all bad depending on where exactly you will be located. There is also a chance that the new equipment might be installed before August.  

 

San Diego has the usual NIMBY stuff, fussy building owners & slow city approvals like anywhere else.  California ALSO has the "Coastal Commission" which is bureaucracy at it's stifling best (worst).  They have a "slow" say in anything that happens within roughly a mile from the ocean. 

Honestly I am not to familiar with the area.  I do know it is at a resort which per google maps looks like in the bay not the beach. The beachhouse i am going to rent is on the beach though.

Just ordered the router for my parents.  How easy is this to set up for themselves or should I drive all the way over there to set up?

Hello San Diego! I am heading out there in August as my sister in law will be getting married. My wife and I are getting a beach house on mission. How is it out there? Excited to be out there.

Masa clearly wanted T-Mobile to become a part of Sprint, which we all now know isn't going to happen. I also agree with many here that this doesn't mean Sprint can't still grow on its own, something I hope strongly for. However, what I'm seeing here with these reports coming both from Sprint and various media about Sprint pertaining to Masa/Softbank's interest in Sprint, which when I say "interest", I'm not referring to financial, but in terms of motivation, it doesn't seem to me that Masa/Softbank are truly in this for the long run. I'm getting the impression they want Sprint to grow just enough so they can sell it for a gain on their initial investment, but not for the same vision Masa once had for it.

I disagree. The merger won't happen now but under a different administration it could. Don't be naive to think that just b/c it didn't happen once that it won't happen. Personally, I don't want it, but Softbank could pull that trigger next summer.

Antennas can be retuned and so can filters.

Does that mean there's two B25 carriers on that site? 10x10mhz?

Sorry but is this plan different from the expansion plan we learned a couple months ago? I've been MIA the last few days so I'm trying to catch up lol

Do you guys thinks that there will come a time in the near future where Sprint no longer allows Everything Data plan customers to purchase subsidized phones and keep the same plan? I have heard that with Verizon unlimited data customers, they were no longer allowed to purchase subsidized phones to continue their plans.

If they do I most likely would save more money on my plan. I have three family members who don't use a whole lot of data and don't upgrade every two years.

If I had to guess, that's what they will probably do. Most of Mexico's households are built out of brick and cement, so you'd think they'd like some good building penetration into homes and businesses. I think that they, just like Sprint, will have to change some regulations to be able to use LTE in that band with the COFETEL (or whatever their version of the FCC is named now).

 

With Sprint having this band on their phones, I don't think it would be too hard to have phone manufacturers add LTE Band 26 into At&t phones. I hope this, and the Canadian 2.5 GHz auction, will bring carriers to support multi-band LTE phones. One thing I am jealous about the iPhone is their amazing offering of LTE bands.

Nice that they snuck billings airport in there. Any other airport that they don't have non native coverage in?

Good catch! I missed that the first breeze through. Very sneaky

The reason I asked was that the Clear B41 originally in the area was extremely fringe throughout the parks when I was there.

 

If the Nokia equipment is in the same place or marginally closer than the Clear antennas, then what was reported appears to be very impressive performance, comparatively speaking.

99.9% guarantee they just turned off the Clear B41 sectors and let the Nokia equipment take over. 

cant wait. be there in november. I know a really long time
