No. Wifi to 1x was made possible by simultaneous transmission. That is not possible with LTE and 1x because phones only have one radio for LTE/1x.
-
Did they not implement SIB13 to allow for a smooth handoff to 1x even part of the time?
-
Not too bad. We've got 10x10 (soon to be 10x10 + 5x5) B25 on nearly every Sprint site and 8T8Rs on about half of them. Clear had a very dense network here too so that helps a lot. More recently, Sprint has started to add NV panels to Clear sites in good locations and this has greatly improved service in some areas.

Sprint will probably move faster for you than they have for us. Up in Seattle, Canada has been clear for a few months now and we still haven't had a single 800 install. You guys already have 800 capable equipment though, so I suspect 800 would be turned on pretty soon...
-
They're sitting on over 200 active site leases/owned towers with equipment already deployed... Does anyone remember what type of network CellularOne operated in Montana before their shutdown?
-
Sprint should have LTE on every site across its network by the end of July this year.
-
HPUE .
-
And in Alaska where it was reported that AT&T is broadcasting an LTE carrier in the PCS G Block, Sprint's PCS G Block.
-
Too true.
-
No need to apologize . I do wish people would make more of an effort to use proper grammar, though…
-
Read the post I quoted. I was referring to AT&T LTE roaming.
-
Not that I've seen yet. My AT&T devices continue to sit on 1 bar of LTE or HSPA at my house even though much stronger LTE is available on Sprint.
-
In my personal observations, it is throttled but definitely usable.
-
EDIT: Yes, they are doing it for both PCS and 700mhz. I wonder if 800mhz is next...
-
Yes. It is interesting to see that AT&T LTE was preferred over 3G though…very interesting indeed…
-
They already are .
-
Nice.
-
Hey can any of you tell me how the network is in Santa Barbara? Is 800 live there? I'll be heading down to that area in a few weeks.

Sprint seems to be making a lot of moves towards VoLTE this year such as: - Trying to upgrade most of not all GMOs to LTE (both B25 run through old antennae and B26 through dedicated antennae like T-Mobile has been doing with their B12 deployment) - Releasing the Magic Box - Signing an LTE roaming agreement with AT&T - Enabling LTE roaming in all USCC areas - Adding B41 small cells in metro and suburban areas across the country - Aggressively adding B41 mini macros to macro sites in many areas across the country - Reducing Qrxlevmin values on sites across the country (I can now comfortably hold all LTE bands down to signal levels as low as -126 in my market, for example) - Widening LTE carriers and thinning out CDMA There are more, of course, but you get the point. I personally think VoLTE will probably come to Sprint late this year but we'll all see soon enough.
-
Yeah I've observed the Sprint 1x/roaming LTE phenomenon a few times as well. It's interesting to see that Sprint is ok taking a hit to their wallet in order to improve our level of service.
-
LTE doesn't use the same SID system as CDMA - you can limit roaming down to the individual tower level.
-
Yep. Didn't think anyone would recognize that name .

Ok so here's the updated list. Anyone know what's happening with the one or two still marked with a question mark? SouthernLINC Wireless: No nTelos Wireless: Yes C Spire Wireless: Yes Nex-Tech Wireless: Yes Flat Wireless (ClearTalk Wireless): No? SI Wireless (MobileNation): Yes Inland Cellular: Yes Illinois Valley Cellular: ? Carolina West Wireless: Yes James Valley Telecommunications: Yes VTel Wireless: No Phoenix Wireless: ? Bluegrass Cellular: Yes Blue Wireless: No? Pine Belt Wireless: No Pioneer Cellular: ? Public Service Wireless: No United Wireless: Yes On a side note, I'm really hoping that Sprint signs a roaming agreement with CellularOne in northeast Arizona/northwestern New Mexico (the provider that AT&T roams on) now that they've launched LTE. It would close a big coverage hole. Here's their map if anyone is curious: http://www.cellularmaps.com/image/c1neaz700.gif
