    at least they are actually reinforcing the towers! Here in nm it seems our engineer just decided against it for a lot of towers and ordered gmo. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

    You need to be a sponsor to view that forum. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

    You won't be able to see EHRPD on your 4s as it is only utilized for lte capable phones. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

    there are a few sites in progress around las cruces. So I would estimate that within the next couple months you might see some lte pop up around cruces. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

    Of course you could. Look at whatT-Mobile is startig to move towards. They do not subsidize, but they are going to offer financing. Meaning you just pay a payment on your phone every month. Basically this allows people with cash up front to buy the phone or others to pay an extra $20 on their bill, which should be similar to now when the fees mobile providers are passing on to us because of subsidies go away.

    There is no incentive for major phone makers to make phones cheaper with the subsidy system. The phone maker can charge their $700 a phone to the carrier and they know they will pay it because customers will go where the best phones are (in general). If carriers were out of the loop with phone subsidies, true competition would ensue and drive prices down. For now, if you were a phone maker, why in the would you stop taking the enormous profits that carriers are forced to pay you. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

    Welcome to a fellow mechanical engineer! I would suggest you look into becoming a site sponsor to quench all your nerdy needs Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

    if I understand correctly they will not. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

    It would force manufacturers to be competitive instead of relying on their precious subsidies and taking the cellular companies for all they have. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

    I would call Sprint and insist they put in a service ticket if you are in a officially launched lte market. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

    warning to Albuquerque nv watchers. I saw some more trucks at cell site by unm Saturday and went over to ask the guys if they were with Sprint when they responded they were working on the tower for att, maybe they are getting lte here? Anyways if you see a tower being worked on know that att is doing work now too. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

    haha I can see how you would think that it was lte. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

    I'm not seeing all of those. Am I missing something? Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

    you will be on 3g, no lte. But 3g speeds should be much improved and hovering around 2 mbps in some instances. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

    I didn't think I saw new cabinets based on the pictures of your site. I will go look again next weekend. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
  18. khammondnm
    Here is the site I saw the van at. I didn't see new panels or rrus, can anyone tell by the cabinets? If it was nv, they could have been scoping out before starting work or it could be backhaul related Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

    hahaha I get it now, Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

    I would think Sprint corporate would wonder why nm seems to be an anomaly with ground mounts. I move that we start a petition (once all the sites are done). Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
  21. khammondnm
    We need to pay this engineer a visit. Maybe he doesn't have Sprint, if he did he would be less conservative
  22. khammondnm
    just does not make sense to have all these ground mounted areas. Seems every tower all the way to cruces along the highway is. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
  23. khammondnm
    You should contact them with your findings/suggestions Thanks for the map! So basically, the no 800 sites are tower mounted rrus but just can't have 800 because of the international laws you mentioned? Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
  24. khammondnm
    That is so weird that there are so many ground mounts, do other markets have similar trends? Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
  25. khammondnm
    that would be excellent. Thanks for taking the time. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
