How much bandwidth does a single LTE site have?
lordsutch replied to imekul's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
Verizon wouldn't be the first carrier to refarm their network just to cater to iPhone users. I guess the question is where the cost/benefit sweet spot is: shrinking 700 cells to benefit all phones, or overlaying 1900 for just a few devices and also having the PR hit (and risk of offending Tim Cook) of offering lower speeds to your iPhone customers than WP/Android. -

Yes, Sprint plans to have LTE virtually everywhere they currently provide native service. The only exceptions might be Sprint's dwindling number of wholesale partners and affiliates; some are aggressively deploying LTE (like Shentel along the I-81 corridor), while some are only in preliminary stages. But in Florida, Sprint owns the whole network, and LTE will be available virtually everywhere CDMA is now. (I say virtually since signal propagation and usability may be a bit different for LTE at the fringes of towers' ranges.)

LTE is finally here, now what? (LTE uses)
lordsutch replied to jman02's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
As I've said all along, I think Sprint postpaid's more likely to go the route of T-Mobile and the Sprint MVNOs: a generous "fair use" allowance (probably in the 10GB range) with throttling to 200-500kbit/s beyond the allowance. Really that would only substantially affect the people who refuse to offload to WiFi or use Sprint as their residential internet service in violation of the TOS. -
Sprint lte vs Verizon lte
lordsutch replied to vryan44's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
Right, Sprint going into the CLEC business doesn't make a lot of sense (spinning off Embarq in the first place wasn't necessarily a wise move, in retrospect, but getting back in as a new player would just be silly). And the only way running a lot of new local fiber makes sense for Sprint is if they're selling access to it to other folks to amortize the costs, not just running it to their own towers. -

There has been some work in the Georgia market, as you can see in the maps in the sponsors area. The maps on Sprint's site only reflect non-Network Vision work, so it's not surprising that there's not any more work showing there. Based on the original schedule this was a 3rd Round market scheduled for completion in mid-2013; we should be seeing a lot more activity over the next few months.

LTE phones support Clear's LTE?
lordsutch replied to mhammett's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
I'm pretty sure the game plan remains largely the same as Clearwire's standalone plan: use 2600 for offloading traffic in high density areas, and perhaps selling 2600-only LTE as a home broadband solution in those areas. The only main difference under Sprint control is that Sprint can now decide where to deploy 2600 based on its overall needs, rather than Clearwire deploying based on their independent goals. The wildcard is whether NV's design carried through 2600 support as was originally planned. If it did, there will be a lot more 2600 deployed than if it requires new construction. -
Interesting to see nTelos' definitive Sprint wholesale market boundaries on a map. Also, here's the key sentence from the deck on LTE: "Serve the needs of our largest wholesale customer, Sprint." So almost certainly nTelos plans on deploying LTE on 1900 as well as AWS, especially since they only have AWS spectrum in some of their markets.

Failing to capitulate to your preferred public policy position is not the same as not talking about the problem, @davidfrum.

I'm confused. I thought the CALM Act went into effect this week, but Stephen A. Smith is still on my TV. What gives?

Virgin Mobile iPhone 5?
lordsutch replied to bucdenny's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
Nope, Virgin Mobile Canada is completely separate from Virgin Mobile USA; both of their corporate parents (US: Sprint, Canada: Bell) just license the name from Virgin Group. These days they don't even use the same network technology; Bell is migrating everyone onto HSPA/W-CDMA/LTE. -

1. LTE Advanced is supposed to be only a software upgrade over LTE on the NV equipment Sprint is using. Most of the benefits like 4x4 MIMO will be for tablet users, however. 2. LTE on ESMR (not really 850) is in addition to the LTE on the 1900 G block. Devices that support LTE on ESMR will be released in mid-2013; they should be able to take advantage of carrier aggregation for higher speeds than on 1900 alone. Existing LTE devices will still work, but only with LTE on 1900. (Sprint may also put LTE on additional 1900 bands in the future, which all existing devices currently support.)

Poking around so far: the default LTE scan timer seems to have been decreased from 30 to 5; I can't remember what the "BSR Max Timer" setting was before, but now it's 4. It doesn't seem to have cleared the LTE Available file.
