Nice! Nothing is showing up for me yet but I did call in this morning to request one.

Ahaha! Well nothing's showing up my account yet. Patience. Haha! Use both of em!

Nice! Did you ever get a notification email or whatnot or did it just show up on your account?

Got mine ordered just now. FWIW the CDMA module is a Qualcomm FSM9808 while the LTE eNB is an Airspan AirVelocity.

Likely 16 port triband if it's a one for one replacement. Some seem to get octoport 800/1.9 + a 2.5 antenna of some kind (reuse mini Mac / 8t8r / M-mimo). Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Airave 4's are indeed available today!

Just follow the prompts on your Pixel 3a when you select the eSIM option in Sim Manager.

Easily answered. There is no 3GPP standard for for such combinations.

Yesh. They're mostly upgrades to legacy repeater systems. I don't think Reno had that many DAS / Repeater systems that last time I checked. A good number of macro all upgraded with 8T8R 2.5 (or even M-MIMO) though!

VoLTE works on all three bands and likely B13 for our PR/VI folks as well.

SCP take notes based on a sites GCI. I'd ask in the SCP thread if you have such troubles imo.

I have no idea regarding that at this time since I don't really keep track of Comcast other than their landline op's. So far it's primarily Airspan Airstrand 2.5 small cells and possibly Apex DOCSIS 2.5 strand mounts. They do an ethernet handoff for mini macros. I know for a fact they, along with Spectrum, Cox, etc have been extensively testing various CBRS LTE and NR equipment in the past year. There's been several 3.5 GHz B48 radios that have come through the FCC recently. Good to hear! I haven't seen anything for my 30 odd small cells in my area but I know they've been going real quick in other regions.

FWIW, Comcast has been providing strand mount colocations and backhaul access for small cells in select markets most noticeably in Michigan. Likewise Cox is doing BH access in Nebraska.

Major cable operators like Comcast and Time Warner / Spectrum are the primary threats to Verizon and ATT imo. They have the scale and preexisting extremely lucrative user base they can leverage to just funnel money to their wireless adventures. They've already got the infrastructure to support wireless users via their MVNO deal with Verizon and thus experience in supporting wireless subscribers. It likely won't be hard for them to just swap over their users to whoever network they take over and rebrand quickly. The greatest impediment to them fully entering the industry is cost in actually building out a nationwide cell network. Taking over a national cell network and using it as a base to launch their competitive wireless platform is much cheaper. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Spreadsheet updates to include pixel 3a devices. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

As I've stated elsewhere, Sprint as an independent entity has no real way foward. Sprint will be relegated to the history books but it's network may survive to tell the tale depending on who purchases it be it T-mobile ripping it out root and stem or a cable carrier wanting to vertically integrate and get off Verizon's MVNO deal. Softbank will not just let Sprint flounder and die. They will sell one way or another. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Tim YuSprint 4G Rollout UpdatesTuesday, May 7, 2019 - 12:00 PM PDT For weeks, rumors have been circulating that Verizon's carrier exclusivity deal to sell Google Pixel devices was ending and other carriers, such as Sprint, will offer them in addition to direct sales from Google. S4GRU has been able to attain information that this is indeed correct and that Sprint will soon be selling Pixel 3, Pixel 3XL, Pixel 3a, and Pixel 3a XL devices. [Google has has announced that Sprint, in addition to other carriers, are selling the device.

This means there is no need to seek out the correct SIM card for the device to activate it, though a physical sim card is still an alternate option and the S4GRU SIM Card spreadsheet has been updated to include the 3a and 3a XL devices. Pixel ESIM activation guide 1. Connect device to WiFi 2. Go to Settings, Network & internet, Mobile network, Advanced, Carrier. Alternatively search "carrier" in settings 3. Tap "Add Carrier" 4. Login to Sprint Account and select device to receive one time activation code to continue. Select line to activate Pixel on. 5. Pixel should now be activated. ** If ESIM capable Pixel is already activated on line with a SIM card, you may have to activate another Sprint device in its place before you can undergo the ESIM activation steps ** Credit to ingenium for the ESIM guide Pixel 3 G013A, Pixel 3 XL G013C, Pixel 3a G020A, Pixel 3a XL G020G

It's performance is somewhere inbetween a pixel 1 and 2. GPU seems to be lower performing. If anything though I doubt it's RF will be ever as terrible as Eph1's. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

And Verizons exclusivity deal is over!

1x Voice HD is Sprint to Sprint only. HD voice using AMR-WB or EVS-WB is: Calling Plus <--> Calling Plus (CP) Wifi Calling <--> Wifi Calling (WC) WC <--> CP VoLTE <--> VoLTE VoLTE <--> WC VoLTE <--> CP HD Voice can be used during CP, WC, and VoLTE to another carriers network as well.

Likely as Sprint (or their successor) would be selling it and they're keeping at least 1x800 up til 2021. CDMA 1x1900 would probably be the first to go as Volte takes up more of the voice load and 1x800 covers the decreasing share of devices not volte capable. Evdo 1.9 would remain at least for edge of cell areas where LTE data just don't make it yet. Likely to see a 3 MHz B25 carrier at least in some areas when this happens.

May Clearwire sites Nokia Mini Macro 2.5 triband conversions begin / continue!

That's weird as I checked the latest information available to me that the BYOD unlocked version would work with the BYOD SIMOTA kit and the alternative SIMOTA 406's. The postpaid version only takes the 406's. When bringing devices capable of BYOD Sim kits, always get those first as they're considered primary sim cards and would work. I've also split out the Moto Z3 postpaid and byod now so people won't make the mistake of trying the BYOD KIT sims on postpaid devices.
