    Sprint vs AT&T vs T-Mobile LTE via Sensorly

    in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment

    Posted

    So stupid question, I've heard it said before that Sensorly isn't super accurate for T-Mo, but if that's the case, what app do T-Mo people use? I've been wanting to evaluate their coverage in my area as so far the only experience I've had is an (old) international Mifi of mine being unable to get 3G service in my house.

     

    They are probably using RootMetrics.

    COUNTDOWN!!! Nextel iDEN Shutdown

    in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment

    Posted

     I wonder if there will be a blip downward in the rollout as people are reassigned to yank the guts out of IDEN.

    I believe they said that there are seperate contractors that are dismantling the IDEN system

     

    Goodman Networks, Overland Contracting, Inc., a construction affiliate of Black & Veatch, Pyramid Network Services LLC and WesTower Communications Inc. will decommission the company’s iDEN network.
