    I'm still not sold on LTE-U, but those articles really has nothing to do with how LTE-U could end up. If implemented properly there should not be any issues with harmful interference.

    The SID either hasn't been changed yet or will not be changed. If Sprint just absorbs the nTelos SID as native and designates that in the PRL, Mike will need to update signal check to show Sprint instead. Signal check uses a static list of SIDs and the corresponding operator.

    Purchasing 30MHz of spectrum wouldn't be very useful because 10MHz is the widest LTE carrier possible due to interference issues with wider carriers.

    They're deploying 5x5MHz band 2 in a ton of markets right now. I see a new post about it almost every day.

    Each block is 10MHz of spectrum, so 100MHz will be auctioned off in 10MHz paired chunks. Category 1 spectrum is spectrum with 0 to 15% impairment, and category 2 is spectrum with 15 up to 50% impairment. Most of the spectrum is category 1 though.

    According to this employee, T-Voice is nothing like a union https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/4gumlc/tmobile_accused_of_fighting_a_real_union_by/d2kw32m

    Their cost of service includes the operation of the Clearwire network as well... I bet that inflates numbers a bit. It should come down at least by some as Clearwire is decommissioned.

    It's because the company has become very inefficient over the years. That's why they've started a cost cutting initiative. There is lots of crap that can be removed.

    Forgot to look at the investor factbook. Thanks. That puts them at 306 million native, which is an increase of 1 million pops since last quarter. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    T-Mobile reported earnings this morning and now claims 308 million LTE POPs. Upon closer inspection, you'll find this statement: Sneaky sneaky. I wonder what their actual native coverage is. http://investor.t-mobile.com/file/Index?KeyFile=34010432

    T-Mobile appears to be taking the "throw money at the problem" approach to 600MHz relocation. They've signed a deal with an antenna manufacturer to allow them to ramp up production and hire more installation crews. I'm still skeptical that 600MHz relocation will go smoothly and finish according to the 39 month timeline. http://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/local-tv/nab-2016-t-mobile-backs-repack-tech-company/155727

    600MHz won't be available for several years anyway. If they purchased any it wouldn't be much help right now.

    That's quite strange considering that AT&T has a DAS in the stadium. What section are you in? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    This is not the final bidder list. The final list will not be released until May after the FCC has collected payments for bidding credits. See this article for more information on the 600MHz auction process. http://www.fiercewireless.com/special-reports/600-mhz-incentive-auction-primer-who-will-bid-when-it-will-happen-how-it-wi Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    EVS is a new high quality voice codec designed with IP based communication in mind. You can read more about it here http://www.voiceage.com/EVS.html

    Milan03 over on reddit posted about EVS a month ago https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/491os4/tmobile_testing_evs_next_gen_hd_voice/
  18. EvanA
    I'm pretty sure T-Mobile is referring to the other benefits of EVS such as improved noise reduction, dead space detection, and error resilience. Improved noise reduction and dead space detection help the voice quality but don't rely on the bandwidth and compression improvements. Those improvements are lost once the audio is transcoded into a lower quality format such as POTS.

    That's it folks, call RootMetrics and tell them they don't need to test anymore. SprintNYC from S4GRU already knows the results. I think you might be in for a surprise when the Dayton and Cincinnati reports come out for this half. Since 2H2015 Sprint has deployed 10x10 LTE in both markets and just recently lit up multiple B41 carriers with CA. I'm in the Dayton area for school and I've seen a huge improvement in just the past few months. Other members from the Cincinnati/Dayton market have noticed similar improvement too.

    RCR Wireless is already jumping to conclusions based on 1H2016 RootMetrics tests http://www.rcrwireless.com/20160405/carriers/verizon-tops-att-t-mobile-jumps-sprint-initial-rootmetrics-2016-tests-tag2 Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    I'm using a Nexus 5, so no sprint zone here.

    Still seeing 55051 on my Nexus 5 after running an update.
  23. EvanA
    May be true when you only count macros, but with Verizon's small cells included they are the clear density champion.
  24. EvanA
    And they're using it

    IWLAN is the indicator for WiFi calling. On a device with WiFi calling enabled that is what will show in the cellular network type field of settings -> about phone -> status. An Airave wouldn't trigger the phone to say IWLAN because it broadcasts a normal 1x signal.
