I am exploring my options, But I solely want to focus on data products and Sprint Wholesale is not really geared towards that build out which is why I have added T-Mobile to my list of possibilities and I am trying some unlimited data products on both carriers. We will see who wins this MVNO consideration. I like the Sprint build out so far, really great to capture all those CLEAR customers that will be left in the dark in the next 6 months when WiMax goes lights off. Robert

Interesting, okay thanks for the correct on that. I saw 1900/2100 so I might have been wrong

Not only CL accounts that are credit union accounts qualify. There are many programs available, I am currently helping my employees and contractors get service. see contractors.4gantennashop.com

It looks like it is HPSA+ 1900/2100 as well which is great I can use this with my unlimited 4G data plan on the T-Mobile network for only 79.99 monthly.

That plan is useless at that price.. I will give you a free Sierra Tri-Fi LTE hotspot for Band 25 LTE and an unlimited NON Spark 4G plan for the cost of less than what they want to charge you for there device per month. Way over priced for 3G service.

Hey Jason, Hope all is well this is Robert from the 4G Antenna Shop, there is no need to get any sort of repeaters routers or bridges as the Netgear 6100D will now work on the plan you have through us. Just an FYI Robert

Why buy this? What is the advantage vs my unlimited Sprint data plans for hotspots?

yes, all data plans are MRC discountable. Only exception is the custom data plans

Cool, Hopefully they will keep the external antenna ports. Combine this with my unlimited data plan .. and JOY!

Of course it will... Just choose SMA adapter on your wire choice. Here is a checkout discount code for you to save some money on your purchase> XXCC5PERX Robert 4gantennashop.com

Okay so Day 9 on this test. And I played with the SIM card trying it in another device which did not work. However that threw off the programming on my device and made it not work, so lesson to be learned if you do this project, do not ever take the SIM out to put in something else as it will fail and will also make your gateway fail as well. All is well now, had to swap, reprogram device, swap back to mifi keeping the SIM # the same as the gateway and magic. Back on! Testing with a 24x16 Parabolic Grid - 60ft of RG-6 Dual Shield, 2 Barrel Adapters in the line. Band 25 -77 - 13D-8U (Highest I have ever seen on Band 25 in this area) Band 26 -81 - 18D-10U Band 41 -87 - 31D-14U More info just PM me.

Day 6 on Netgear 6100D using SIM Card SIMGLT207R from NOVATEL MIFI Device, so both devices working, Novatel on 3G, Netgear on 4G. if it holds I will explain, but this is great sign for us! This same SIM card is available in the Samsung S4 Mini. Here are some tear down pictures of the Netgear 6100D http://4gantennashop.com/netgear/1.jpg - Entire Board http://4gantennashop.com/netgear/2.jpg - 2.4 Ghz wifi card, did not affect the 5Ghz AC when I removed the connectors http://4gantennashop.com/netgear/3.jpg - Main Board http://4gantennashop.com/netgear/4.jpg - 4G Card Top, when i disconnected the lower PCI Express card (3G Card I assume) I was not able to connect to the internet and even when I connect the card back without the antenna leads I still could not get back on to LTE. Interesting. http://4gantennashop.com/netgear/5.jpg - 2.4 Ghz wifi card http://4gantennashop.com/netgear/6.jpg - Backside of board

The SIM >> SIMGLT207R is a game changer!! I am testing a very interesting idea using the 6100D and MIFI SIM card. I will keep you guys posted!

Just an FYI off an MVNO site: Sprint recently confirmed that it plans to decommission the WiMAX network on November 6, 2015 (next year) and transition it to Sprint's 4G LTE network.

That's great to hear, Yes I remember our conversation (I am Robert from the IL Support team). Well if you need any other assistance we are always here for you! Now we need an unlimited plan code for that 6100D M2M modem and life will be great! LOL Robert

Nice job!!! Which Parabolic Antenna did you use? I had great results with the Cal Amp 21db Parabolic.

This subject goes back and forth, almost every day in my world, unfortunately! As being an unlimited Sprint and also CLEAR customer with several business employee lines, I know the value that CLEAR does offer, however keep in mind there is always ways to do things, like I have a u341 usb into a craddlepoint MBR95 running my entire home network on Band 41 using an unlimited plan from Sprint, with speeds of 32mbs DL / 14mbs UP on RSRP (signal) of -83 using a Cal Amp 24db parabolic in Aurora IL connected to just one of the 2 external antenna ports, an inexpesive soultion for those that can not get hardline internet services. Serach this forum for more information on Sprint Hotspot unlimited plans for credit union memebers. need help PM me! Robert 4G Antenna Shop

I am pretty sure you can all rest easy for quite some time with WiMax, especially if you are in Major Market like myself that has deployed Dual WiMax/LTE radios, I have seen my new WiMax BSID towers in the GNSCAN and see that all the towers by my house have been converted to DUAL RRU which is a great thing, Take a look at your BSID now if you are in a smaller market and write it down. The key change that is constant with these new radio for my area so far is that they all begin with the same prefix 00:00:26:33:XX:XX . Previous to the change the radios last 3 set would different from each tower. Remember WiMax is heavily deployed through out the United States and with http://mobilecitizen.org/ still selling equipment and has a 30 year license agreement / hold on EBS plus over 10 Million (probably more) active MAC address on WiMax and that SPRINT is still activating/selling and setting up new service on WiMax is a sure indication that Sprint is in no rush to close the WiMax network. I got 60 lines of service so I am hoping that delay last for a very long time .. lol

Get the Nexus 5 Field Test App in the Play Store

Band 41 - 1, Band 25 - 2, Band 26 - Disabled

I highly doubt that B25 can not be shut down within the settings somehow, Yes there is more B25 deployment in this area.

Tested radio .15, failed to connect to Band 41 in the same area that radio.23 did. Radio .15 did attempt to connect to Band 41 but picked up a Band 25 signal and went back to it, In the drive test the reason Band 41 never gets searched for is because Band 25 continues to handshake very well, the phone only switches to Band 41 when Band 25 is completely unreachable. Someone mentioned this is tower controlled but I highly doubt that based on the driving tests, If Band 25 is gone Band 41 will come into play. What needs to be figured out is a way to disable the Band so the phone can focus on 41 and handshake properly, I am sure an update is down the road but correcting this seems to be on sprints last concern page.

No tricks when B25 loses signal completely, it then goes searching and then Band 41 connects, I can only get this working in 2 locations so far, West Chicago, IL RT.59 & Geneva Rd and Glendale Heights IL North Ave & Glen Ellyn Rd. What needs to be done is some sort of .apk that shuts off Band 25, especially for areas like mines that are heavy in Band 41. Radio was .23 During these tests. Just flashed radio .15 and will drive test it later on.

Yeah I saw that, I will give it a try.
