So in essence. Do not expect NV in the central valley (upper/lower) until 2013. Bandaid fixes has actually raised data speeds in some areas around here from sub 100kbps to ~400-500 kbps (usable...barely)...

Also the acquisition by SoftBank might speed things up but we won't know unless robert tells us so. It is what it is :]

Most likely Absolutely nothing. Soft is investing in sprint.. They're not doing a hostile take over.

If employees are going to be laid off then it most likely the under performing ones.

I'm actually not condescending but in absolute agreement with what you said. To clarify, I'm saying that it appears that they're making progress and other markets around norcal should be starting relatively soon (as in next year in a best case scenario but likely middle to late next year) as this is a good sign of work being done now in my general vicinity.

Appreciate your work and what you've done including telling me news about central valley weeks ago.

I'm just trying to be optimistic but sorry if I came off badly to you.

Not quite. They are only working in the SF Bay and South Bay markets. The Upper Central Valley Market is not quite ready to start. The UCV planning, design, permitting and scheduling is completely separate from the Bay Area market and started later. I think the earliest we could see any meaningful activity in the Sacto/Stockton/Reno areas is the very end of the year. But likely not until into 2013.

 

In the Network Vision Maps - All Markets thread in the Sponsors forum you can see where the sites are for each market.

Correct me if I'm mistaken but isn't next quarter Jan -> end of march in 2013 or am I misinformed?

It appears that sprint is expanding out of the bay area into the norcal and surrounding markets. (WOOT NV 60 miles away ). Appears that Central Valley should be getting network vision upgrades starting next Q (early - mid round 3) after they're mostly done with vallejo and fairfield.

I've always believed there's one thing that significantly differentiates between Asian companies and Western companies and that one thing is the fact that Western corporations are more concerned about the "now" instead of the future compared to most Asian ones that look at what they can sacrifice now for the benefit of tomorrow.

Probably biased because I'm asian but I can nearly guarantee you that SoftBank will do everything in its power to shake things up. ATT and Vz are satisfied with the "now" but sprint has a plan (thanks to hesse) and SoftBank are looking at the future like Hesse and see great things and hence why they're doing what they're doing...

I guess its just how we asians tend to be. We're never content with the status quo... (oww don't hit me mom... i only got An A- dammit!)

EHRPD does not indicate NV. It's a software update to allow seamless handoffs between LTE and CDMA 3g. It's been said many times around here that EHRPD does not indicate NV and that many markets already have EHRPD but no actual work being done yet.

hot wheels

I spy a bunch of bird nests...

If the birds are protected then they can't really work on the tower and hence why they're mad. If the nests are vacated then probably they're just being rushed and feel unappreciated..

Just a guess ha

Can u post a link to a map or list as of the sites that are on right now....

Thnx

Have to be a sponsor/premier sponsor to see these maps/list.

Toledo Ohio only has 1 or 2 towers for 200k plus for WimaX...they won't be here

 

Evo

Most. Does not include the protection sites which toledo appears to have.

I'm speaking to the 70 or so cities that clearwire actually "deployed" in...

Clearwire LTE is going to go on existing Wimax towers and be deployed in areas where sprint or other companies need them to be in. Most clearwire sites are apparently having upgrades on their backhaul which is resulting in much higher wimax speeds these days. So basically, if you're in an area with preexisting wimax coverage then you'll most likely get some sort of clearwire TDLTE coverage in the future.

800mhz goes on every tower. They just need to hook it up to existing RUU's. If you look at the pictures around here, you'll see that they already have the 800mhz "plugs" on the panels but they're not connected yet.

An Epic 4g touch (GS2) is more of a sidegrade/minor upgrade in terms of performance. Great for areas where you're not seeing NV/LTE till next year but have wimax at least but in an active LTE deployment market...hmm..

Also believe that Evo 4g LTE has a bunch of connectivity issues if reading around these parts and other areas give any hints. In fact, i believe robert (s4gru) wrote about it in one of the past articles.

So I was walking to my car when I noticed people working on something so I snagged a picture. As this is a sprint site.. first thing i thought was "hell yes network vision!!" then I remembered we're not to start till next year... fml... bandaid fix I suppose.

Here ye go. Should be easy to identify the panels (especially the one that looks "newer" than the others).

@Sacramento City College if you're wondering...

Is this A6 chip built on a Cortex A-9 32nm process?

Has to be built by Samsungs 32nm HKMG foundries. TSMC is using 28nm.

It's speculated to be an highly modified A9 that has features of A15 (like the krait S4) and an A15 based GPU. Nothing more than that.
