    here one : http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/1879-sprint-is-doing-a-live-tour-of-the-cell-site/ mounted on building, not directly behind panel

    AT&T already uses RRU, tmobile is also using(starting) with its new network upgrades. Depending on tower and partner for sprint the RRU can be mounted on the tower structure and not just behind the panel. The RRU purpose is to move radio from ground like older tower setup to the tower itself near antenna. Benefit is less power loss and better/stronger signals

    I can say that the statement of a lot of microwave back haul in Chicago is an exaggeration

    Sprint is actually using Ethernet

    i think this article is fantastic from a brand stand point for Sprint. This type of press helps with that and its good to see something positive in Sprint's favor. Service in Milwaukee is very solid, Sprint I think shares the title with US Cellular, since the article said it only tested 4 major carriers, this would be accurate for the area. Hope we see more and more good press like this as network vision starts to sweep the country.

    Sprint and Apple are partners, the next iphone will support 1X 800. Apple chooses support for devices for carriers they have agreements with not cause its what the want to do. make no sense to support and test for frequencies( TMO) that you do not support or have agreements in place to support. Apple does not make money selling unlocked devices, the bulk almost all of their sales are subsidized(carrier) phones.

    I think a lot of people are confusing cities with markets. Sprint has 99 total markets, to have started 25 markets with LTE that is a forth of all markets. i would not see that as slow

    Maybe Ericsson will get in on this soon

    This quote is very important in that it showed that IDEN thinning was not just about the money and verified it was for the Spectrum Christopher French Well, yes, actually we – they have already harvested one carrier of 800 that they have given us that we are putting in as we are upgrading, but that one carrier is being used for voice at 800 and when they turn off the iDEN network then they will harvest the remainder of the 800 and the remainder of the 800 is planned to be used for LTE.

    You guys may be getting more/better coverage with your LTE and network vision updates http://www.ydr.com/ci_21209017/new-cell-tower-possible-felton?IADID=Search-www.ydr.com-www.ydr.com

    Have tried to get 4G, seen a few post of people in South Bay get some LTE?
  16. Rasta Cheesehead
    It sa about Spectrum also. Sprint said it needed a 2.67 MHZ slice of that iden 800 spectrum to deploy its one 1x advanced carrier in those markets.. thinning did not occur in all iden markets. Just the under utilized ones and the spectrum constrains ones
  17. Rasta Cheesehead
    That is some what true. Sprint said it will only deploy 800 cdma in approximately 80 percent of the top 100 markets at first for network vision.. I think it needs iden completely shut down for nation wide and still may not have enough 800 for all Sprint locales to receive .800.. I think border locations near Mexico
  18. Rasta Cheesehead
    No more thinning, its gonna be shut down by June of 2013. The thinning was to reduce capacity and cost on a network that was built to handle 20 million pople, but only had 4 million
  19. Rasta Cheesehead
    I remember Sprint saying the were gonna go with pico and femtos instead of DAS for LTE. http://www.rcrwirele...-for-picocells/
  20. Rasta Cheesehead
    I doubt he was a DAS
  21. Rasta Cheesehead
    looks like network vision is picking up steam
  22. Rasta Cheesehead
    a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush
  23. Rasta Cheesehead
    I think thats low, Sprint hopes to save almost a billion by shutting these sites down early.
  24. Rasta Cheesehead
    Looks Like Waco replaced Bmore for the first markets , and it is well covered too
  25. Rasta Cheesehead
    Yes, WiMAX was on 2500 and LTE is 1900 that's a big difference in signal and how far it can travel and penetrate buildings, combine that with the new NV towers that give out more power and better signal than old ones and you might get coverage there now. When 800 comes that is when you will notice a huge difference in coverage .
