    It's part of Network Vision 2.0. Gotta boot off the remaining nextel users first... They've already begun in some places where they've cleared enough spectrum or where they needed it but it's infrequent and unpredictable on where they'll turn on 800mhz cdma.

    Take a picture then upload it on a image hosting website like www.imgur.com then link the url of the picture.

    Small rectangular ones are wimax. Long ones are legacy 3g panels. The very thin ones might be iden panels but i'm not sure. I look at panels like these every day when i go back and forth on my college campus and. Not to mention.. that microwave receiver is what Clearwire uses.

    EHRPD = software upgrade to allow seamless transfers between LTE and Evdo 3g. Network Vision = replacing all legacy equipment + upgrading backhaul to fiber / mw / aav which does increase speed & coverage (teeny bit)
  6. lilotimz
    ehrpd is not an indication of LTE. In some markets, ehrpd was turned on months in advance before NV upgrades even began. All ehrpd is, is that of a software update to allow easy transitions between LTE and EVDO 3g. Absolutely nothing has changed until you get very high 3g speeds of 1.5-2.0+ DL / 1.0 UL all day, every day or LTE popping up. Old T1 backhaul to legacy towers slow down when there's a heavy load on the tower while Fiber / MW / AAV does not. More you know!

    Iphones 5 cannot map with sensory. Apple limitations.

    The Nextel band is 800mhz. The iphone 5 does not support it at all.
  9. lilotimz
    Incorrect. Backhaul has to be completed and in place before LTE is activated. Slow speeds are an indication of a weak signal or in other cases, heavy load on a sector/tower (as is happening to Verizon) but that is highly unlikely.at this stage or ever with sprints immense spectrum.

    Bad angle but the really flat ones I think are clearwire wimax panels.

    There's a lot of fiber out there installed during the late 90s/ early 2ks before the dot com boom. I believe they're called dark fiber and a lot of companies bought them on the go for cheap or they're just siting around waiting to be used. There's probably a hell of a lot of fiber in places you don't imagine would be possible but it's just sitting there doing nothing [for now].

    Fresno is part of the Lower Central valley market which is yet unannounced like the rest of the CA markets bar the Bay area and the LA and co. Upper and Lower central valley should begin early to mid next year which is relatively soon. NV 1.0 aka the revamping of towers and LTE on 1900mhz is slated to be underway in every sprint market by the summer of 2013 where NV 2.0 kicks in with the deployment/activation of LTE 800mhz and Clearwires TDD-LTE 2.5ghz. TLDR -- You'll get it in the coming months. Contractors could be getting ready right now and equipment being stocked or they could be finishing up permits and planning. Nobody knows yet so keep around these parts and start informing yourself on Network Vision and rejoice at the wealth of info we got here.

    A good E4GT phone with a good ESN can be found for around $190-230 and can be found for as low as $160-180 if you look hard enough. It's still a great phone and is slated to get a JB update which incorporates many of the features of the GS3 / GN2. It's been through so much 'sob sob'.. 2.3.4...2.3.6...4.0.1..4.0.2..4.0.3... 4.0.4 .. 4.1... 4.1.1 .. 4.1.2 (counting the 30+ ICS / JB leaks). If you have great existing wimax coverage and LTE is still slated to begin months away then go for it. It's still a fine medium end phone by todays standard and still has a beast of a SoC chipset / GPU (Exynos 4210 + mali gpu).

    Clearwire panels are quite different compared to NV RRUs. Here's a pic i took a bit back of some workers 'repairing' the panels. All are legacy stuff btw and should look different than the NV upgraded stuff.
  16. lilotimz
    oh there is a difference. Mostly it's about getting higher speeds out of the current available spectrum if I get what i'm reading around here.
  17. lilotimz
    Probably like any other situation where a company wants something done. Sprint probably contacted several companies, told them what they want done, gave them a approx. time period, and how much they're willing to spend and then the companies responded with bids. Basically, the one that goes the lowest out of the numerous contacted companies get the contract.

    Re posting this again. Saw workers working on this known sprint cite on freeport blvd next to Sacramento Executive Airport. Have not yet confirmed that its Sammy workers or that new RUUs have been installed. Site has had 3g speeds of well in excess of 1mbps for months. Workers worked on bottom racks which are sprint to my knowledge.

    The majority of existing clearwire markets will get LTE rolled out because they're already invested in the towers and the back haul and it's a waste of money to not do so. They will also deploy where demand happens to be which is basically metropoloitan areas where sprint has deemed to be of very high demand and need additional bandwith to satisfy the needs of the hungry masses. Initial rollout should coincide with that of Sprints LTE 800 rollout which is the summer of 2013.
  21. lilotimz
    I would assume that's the Vz LTE slowdown that Roberts been mentioning.
  22. lilotimz
    Imposible. Data speed is affected by signal and reception. Unlike land lines, wireless networks don't have the stability that hard, physical connections give. There's a reason that the you get slower speeds as you move farther away from a tower and get better speeds when you get close to a tower.
  23. lilotimz
    it is the reason that the network is so bogged down. Sprints original plan was for wimax phones to be on clearwires network and so didn't plan for the fact that Wimax expansion would stop and all the wimax phones will be using the legacy network and the T1 backhaul.
  24. lilotimz
    Most markets are to rollout starting early to mid next year so the salesman was correct in the aspect that NV upgrades begins next year. LTE will definitely be sporadic and there will be growing pains as the network is worked on. So don't take it as Sprint will have LTE everywhere within months.
  25. lilotimz
    iirc, sprint nv upgraded towers typically have microwave or fiber backhaul that has a capacity of 300mbps that can be increased if needed. Old legacy towers are typically supplied by T1 lines which has a capacity of 1.5 mbps each. Usually they bundle 3 of them together.
