    Network Vision/LTE - Las Vegas Market

    in Markets

    Posted

    I honestly don't know the hold up for SoCal. From what I was told was whenever SoCal gets cleared, so will vegas since the same county is holding it up. I'm praying to the gods above that SoCal gets cleared in 90 days with Vegas. Lol. Is there anyway you can check your source and ask them about SoCal, including LA, San Diego and Orange County for 800mhz LTE and get back to us ?

    Sure just send me the Zip codes you want to know about. I will make sure to get info on LA San Diego and Orange County. Probably Wednesday is when I can get the info. Is this a natiowide issue? With being without 800mhz LTE? I knew it existed in Vegas...

    Yes but doesn't the network team tell the marketing team? I guess there is alot of confusion at Sprint right now. Even customer service seems to lack anything other than info that we can look up for ourselves.

    It has the Snapdragon, which as far as I know is the same processor as the S7. So doesn't it have the X12 LTE Modem? Pretty certain all those do.... maybe wrong. Here is a quote from a press release, also a article about the modem which I believe is in the G5. Take a look, I think if it does have it and it isn't on that will come with software update,

     

    Press Release from Qualcomm: I put a ------><------- in the part mentioning 3x.

    "This is the first publicly announced processor for use in mobile devices to support LTE Category 12 in the downlink and Category 13 in the uplink, providing up to 33 percent and 200 percent improvement over its predecessor's download and upload speeds, respectively. Also available as a discrete chipset, the X12 LTE modem has demonstrated peak download speeds of up to 600 Mbps -----> through 3x downlink carrier aggregation <-------and 256-QAM, as well as peak upload speeds of up to 150 Mbps through 2x uplink carrier aggregation and 64-QAM"

    LG G5 Modem: From Gizmotimes.com

    Can you detail about the processor that powers the LG G5?

     

    The Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor is the flagship SoC from Qualcomm for 2016, and this is what powers the phone that LG has just announced. It is an octa-core chipset clocking at 2.7 GHz, and it is a 64-bit processor. It also has Adreno 530 graphics and lower-power Qualcomm®HexagonTM DSP as well as Qualcomm Spectra™ 14-bit dual image signal processors (ISPs) designed to deliver high-resolution DSLR-quality images and additional power savings.-----------> The Snapdragon 820 processor also has an integrated X12 LTE modem that supports Category 12 download speeds of up to 600 Mbps and LTE Category 13 uplink speeds of up to 150 Mbps.<--------------

    Ok hold on, I would like to get excited but I'm in Southern California and I was told band 26 is being held up by San Bernadino county and that SB county is also holding up Vegas along with SoCal. So unlesss you know something we don't know, is vegas getting band 26 before SoCal ? I thought since SB is holding up for both counties that they would get cleared together ?!? Or am I missing something here. We need band 26 band in SoCal and my life will be complete.

    Yes B26 is so far on track to be activated in the next 90 days. As far as I know it is already on the sites just turned off. From my understanding this was because it was causing interference... I believe with Emergency Service and such.. I will have to ask and make sure. What's crazy is in Vegas Sprint outperforms in a lot of categories... even being named 2 out of the last 3 times the Top Network in Vegas by RootMetrics..... without ANY 800mhz! So I am very excited to see it be activated. I live in Pahrump though but work in Vegas, so I experience the best and WORST of Sprint daily! Why was it being held up in Cali?

    Yes. They applied for extending their microwave relays at the beginning of July and got approval on the 22nd. I saw them out there working yesterday, but they weren't back this morning when I was back in the area. Hopefully tomorrow when I go back again. The last I was told by a Sprint rep was the end of this year for LTE in Pahrump, which it's looking closer to that. They have at least 4 links they have to add to complete the chain.


    Well I have a little inside baseball knowledge. As far as Vegas 212 Towers are set to activate the 800mhz LTE in next 90 days. (Estimate). Pahrump should be done by December from what I heard yesterday. I heard from a higher up beginning of the year that Pahrump was going to get "everything LTE..." but as far as I know it's just it's just B25 1900. B26 would be nice though. B41 is still TBD. I do know they are very focused on hitting the Strip in Vegas hard with B26 to get into the hotels, and I heard they will be densifying it greatly with small cells on B41 with possible 3x Carrier Aggregation. Saw 5 new towers slated to open in next 6 months ish for N Las Vegas too. I honestly don't know about these Microwave setups... will All of 160 be lit up with 4G from Vegas to Pahrump? Or are they going straight over the top of the mountain?
