Don't forget, it is really BEAs not states. Here is the map from the first post: http://wireless.fcc.gov/auctions/data/maps/ea.pdf

WiMAX is Dead. Make way for CAx3 soon!!!

In Marquette and a number of other spots in the UP they seem to have a deal with Cellcom for 3G and more. You can see it on the coverage maps by clicking the 3G and more option.

Correct. The WiMAX was scheduled to be turned off several months ago, but kept running by court order until the end of the month. Only then can Sprint start to convert many Clear sites in this market to Sprint B41 and add third carrier to the many B41 Sprint sites. This should be part of the Next Generation Network upgrades that will hopefully begin soon. Other upgrades are still continuing in this market including Bexley. There are articles on all of this and Columbus located http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1-the-wall/ To get more specific information on Bexley and other places make a $10-20 donation depending on your circumstances to help keep this website operational. You will then have a wealth of information on B25 LTE (including high capacity sites, 10x10 LTE, and B25 second carrier) and 1x800 along with 3G. B41 and B26 LTE information is in the next tier (Premier).

No new likely sites spotted in microwave search for Sprint in American Somoa, or Wyoming under the name Sprint, nor any recent using Sprint's address (UbiquiTel Leasing Company, etc) Now Anchorage, AK is quite different: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/1120-comments-related-to-nv-sites-complete-site-acceptance-update-threads/page-582&do=findComment&comment=469541

There are some quirks, but I have seen it work on one of my phones. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

Interesting numbers. Thanks. Does HD Voice show up on the G4 when using WiFi calling? Airave might be easier in the sense that if WiFi is also enabled the phone calls and data use will be separate. I still would set the QOS in your Nighthawk enable WMM (Wi-Fi multimedia (5 GHz a/n/ac) from what you have shown above. Details here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/R8500/R8500_UM_30sep2015.pdf on pages 105-106, else try the Dynamic QOS starting on page 101. This way when either the upload or download is fully saturated the phone calls should still be possible.

Hopefully the first of many such deals. How do these rank by number of counties affected?

It would be great to see your the real world data comparing Airave to WiFi calling. Some of the difference may also be how your equipment is connected/configured. Sprint normally wants the Airave first, which gives it high priority. Most people also setup any VOIP also with high priority. It is also great to see the amount of bandwidth consumed. It used to be that very high quality voice took 64Kbps. I am uncertain what HD voice takes. The odds are everyone will learn something from your comparison. Looking forward to your info.

I looked at microwave licenses under Sprint for North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana. I found nothing that relates to this topic, but I did find some likely sites for the Fargo ND market that were unknown to us: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/1120-comments-related-to-nv-sites-complete-site-acceptance-update-threads/page-581&do=findComment&comment=468933

There is a confident requirement for the site info. We could not have them crowd sourced. But it would be great to allow them to be loaded to be displayed along with the GCI and on local maps. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

I was wondering if you checked the WiMAX Substantial Service Site on East Philadelphia Street (near the Popeye's Chicken) in Rapid City. In the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, those were taken over by Cellcom for Roaming+. If true that might give you a better idea of were to look elsewhere, since those sites may have long term leases.

Not sure how that will work with small cells. We have to find one of the new ones first

I would say 39991 is going away. It's range for 20Mhz is 2520.1-2540.1 (assuming the same spectrum over the entire area). 2628.8-2648.8 would be 41078, 2648.6-2678.6 is 41276 The .2 "overlap" is typical with second carriers, (ie CA)

Sort of like Alcatraz, right? Seriously, did they just move the EARFCN, or have you guys seen both EARFCNs?

I define LTE+ more broadly to include B25 10x10 and B25 second carrier, both of which have been spreading through Sprint markets like wildfire. They are done on an as needed and as available basis. They have been done in markets where our calculations did not think probable, yet no anecdotal evidence of an increase in dropped calls has been observed. This augmentation of B25 has especially been favored in places without B26 because of IBEZ. In the end, it is about putting bandwidth where needed. Sprint is now much more surgical in its approach.

Since it is based on RSRP, the Sprint results can be rigged by only using B26. By the same token B41 will be measured as much weaker. The release notes in indicate attempts to address CA with certain phones. Using my LG G4 I have yet to see any difference.

We continue to follow the FCC in the Shentel buyout of nTelos and spectrum for Sprint dealings over here (must be a sponsor): http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/7395-west-virginia-sprint-sponsor-map-spreadsheet/&do=findComment&comment=467326

Of course most will focus on the fastest speed.

Any word on CA uplink speeds? I assume 2x. While most will focus on the fastest speeds, I like the turbo-charged snail speeds at the edge -- this covers far more geographic area. Ready to do battle:

Cincinnati members report that WiMax is no more!!
