  1. The thing to look for in general is the 41/42/43 3rd carrier endings as Nokia Mini Macs don't support 3+ B41 carriers while Nokia and Ericsson macro 2.5 equipment can.
  2. The update hasn't pushed yet. Basically the unit cannot establish a connection whatsoever back to Sprint over IPSEC. TLDR: Sprint™ speed
  3. Doesn't appear so but they do have two hybrid cables snaking up the tower. Second hybrid cable is usually used for 2.5 so keep an eye out in the near future for an 8T8R RRUS82 setup or AR6468.
  4. Fix: ##Update# & Reboot.
  5. Known outage. They've been attempting to fix it. Fix TBD.
  6. You'll need to reach out and negotiate an agreement with a LTE eNodeB provider (aforementioned -- Samsung, Ericsson, Nokia, Airspan, etc) in order to create a LTE EPC, acquire licensed radio transmitters, and a deployment plan. Coverage is far superior to 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz due to significantly higher TX power, antennas, modulation, and just difference in elevation on the transmitters. Still you'll likely need a wide deployment using multiple backhauled eNodeB sectors at least for capacity and coverage reasons. https://www.airspan.com/education/ https://networks.nokia.com/solutions/private-lte TBH reaching out to Sprint may be still your best option since they have the expertise and they're pretty much the biggest entity a lot of these vendors have agreements with.
  7. Iirc aren't like most of Fresno towers 15-20' wooden poles with all ground mounted radios? I'd think that would be the bigger issue plus any restrictions on much needed small cell infill coverage deployments.
  8. It's the ball antenna ATT / VZW ball uses for their COWs. @belusnecropolis linked it.
  9. It's 4-8 batteries in the BBU. 4 if OG NV config with 1.9 + 800 and +4 with 2.5 deployed. IIRC it's mostly rated for 8 hours when I was looking at NV documents a while back.
  10. I would pop a nice email to magicbox[at]sprint[dot]com to inquire about your area.
  11. Usually it goes from the outermost points of the former IBEZ to the innermost areas nearest to the border. So you'll see it pop up all around LA / Irvine / OC and then spread towards SD as time goes on.
  12. December / January time frame for many devices is what was going around last I heard.
  13. Tim YuSprint 4G Rollout UpdatesFriday, December 14, 2018 - 11:00 PM PDT Beginning today on the Sprint subreddit, individuals can begin submitting questions in this thread that will be forwarded to Ms. Schnellbacher to answer at his leisure in a few days time. Who is Mr. Jason Schnellbacher you may ask? So go forth and submit all your questions about Sprint Magic Box's, small cells, and other Sprint related stuff!
  14. On another note, does anyone have engineering or app proof of the 15x15 B25 carrier?
  15. Nice catch! I'll fix that now.
  16. Found 3 more Sprint Airspan small cells (Florin/Freeport, downtown, & loaves and fishes area) and the first noted Clearwire 2.5 conversion to Sprint triband 800/1.9/2.5 in Elk Grove!
  17. It's been live since the 2nd week of October. Turn it on and leave it be for about a hour and it will provision automatically.
  18. You can pop on chat or call mb tech support to ask them to activate it back on your account. Takes approximately half a hour. My gen 3 and Gen 2 had some shenanigans where both was somehow not provisioned. Both are back activated now. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
  19. Also the donor 2.5 connection is a 2x2 MIMO 2T2R mini mac 2.5. Presumably I'd experience much more drastic improvements if say connected to an 8T8R or M-MIMO unit running 4x4 mimo / 256qam and 3 B41 carriers.
  20. It was pretty much the difference of 1 mbps vs ~2 mbps. Hence I have it plugged into the router which is fed by a FTTH connection that is ready to go when Sprint / Airspan sends that OTA firmware. 😉
  21. Terrible photos incoming. Did a 1-1 remove and replace of a AU545 gen 1(2?). 545 was ordered and installed when publicly released on a 2nd floor bedroom window facing the nearest Sprint site. Crappy Pic. Installed Gen 3 AU587 in the center of the house on the 2nd floor loft next to the router nowhere near a window. Ethernet is plugged in but LTE backhaul preferred until Sprint / Airspan sends out a OTA firmware that enables working ethernet or wifi backhaul. Very impressive.
