    You probably think you know what Mobilitie is about. But my dear sweet pal, it seems to me you haven't even scratched the surface of the story. That's all I'm saying for now. On a completely unrelated note, do you really think Mobilitie can get zoned to build these 120 ft poles which are the center pieces of their network architecture? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    No you're missing my point. That statement of yours just belies an ignorance about the true depth of this Mobilitie story. Arrogance on display. And your response proves this twice over. The joke is on you dummy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I'm sure you're very knowledgeable and all. But don't let your arrogance do you in. Peace. "It's not what you don't know that hurts you. It's what you know that ain't so." Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I don't know anything more fascinating than Mobilitie Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The shady Mobilitie guy cited Pokemon Go and 911 calls as the reason for these 120 ft poles that they want to build. Why is he shady and inept? Just look at Mobilitie's track record ( http://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article116012318.html ) . It's a real scandal that has to be uncovered by journalism.

    Meant to include that link Not sure why it didn't show up. Why doesn't the link show up? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Looks like there're many tough battles to fight before the small cells can be built. The Mobilitie guy in this townhall meeting looks inept and shady. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    But didn't someone above suggest that there should be 13 small cells in Baltimore deployed? Are you not seeing/hearing them? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. samwelltarley
    So has Mobilitie built any small cell at all in Tampa? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Since sprint is having Mobilitie roll out their small cells nationwide and small cells are such a critical part of Sprint's network strategy, how come there isn't much discussion on S4GRU about Mobilitie/Sprint's small cell deployment? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. samwelltarley
    They said their small cell permits have doubled. Is it a big deal? Or it just doubled from 300 to 600 (it's starting from such a pathetic low base that it doesn't matter)? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I guess the results speak louder than words. It's almost Christmas of 2016 and there is still no meaningful small cell deployment across the country. I'm not sure if it's entirely Mobilitie's fault (though their shady way of conducting themselves couldn't have helped), but Sprint's plan of erecting 120ft and 72ft poles in open public areas in an age when municipalities are trying to eradicate poles from streetscapes reeks of a detachment from reality. I can't wait to see which counties let these poles happen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So I caught up with your suggested reading and they are indeed a great collection. Thanks for pointing me there. Now having confirmed a number of my suspicion, I'd like to ask the experts that be to contemplate/speculate on the following general network architectural questions (feel free to move this thread to any other better-fitted thread): - why hasn't Sprint refarmed more of the PCS spectrum to LTE faster: after they deployed B25 on the G block, they could've deployed at least another 5x5 in almost all markets right away to solve the network congestion everyone is complaining about. I see that they've deployed the second channel in some markets, (some are even 15x15 B25 channel) but why haven't they done it more widely and earlier? I can't imagine there is still that much demand for 3G spectrum in 2016. An engineer once told me that LTE doesn't hold the airlink as well as EVDO signals and so refarming too much PCS spectrum to LTE would cause unacceptable coverage holes until B41 or B26 can come to the rescue. Is that true? If so, then is it the reason why they have to retain so much legacy 3G deployment? - When they deploy a second 5x5 B25 channel on top of the existing 5x5 block G, obviously that increases capacity of the network, but would that increase max speed to the users? i.e. Can a regular phone like iPhone 6S aggregate two B25 channels to create a wider channel like it CAs 2 B41 channels? That would help me understand the significance of deploying contiguous B25 channels versus discrete ones. - why had Sprint refarmed the PCS spectrum to LTE the way it had? In all of the 24 "original" markets, they own contiguous 30MHz of A block or B block, plus the 10MHz G block. Their most natural LTE architectural should have been deploy 10x10 channel (and then perhaps 15x15 if circcumstances permit) on those contiguous blocks and then leave the G block for three 1x channels. Best, Biggest nerd of all time

    thank you and dkoellerwx for the informative color. It answers a lot of my questions. So Sprint rolled out LTE on B25 on the 5x5 G block first. Then selective activate more over the A-F blocks, leaving 3 CDMA carriers (10MHz). Is it then fair to say in most markets, Sprint has deployed B25 on pretty much all PCS spectrum save for the 10MHz minimum to support 3 CDMA ccarriers?
  17. samwelltarley
    Does it *really* matter whether they have inked 200 sites or 1000 sites?
  18. samwelltarley
    As I said I know it's market dependent. If you want to get specific, what about your market? Or any market that you're well-informed about? For example, they have 30MHz of PCS spectrum in Boston. How much of that has B25 been deployed?
  19. samwelltarley
    Mind elaborating why you think Mobilitie was a bad choice as vendor?
  20. samwelltarley
    Can anyone kindly give me an idea on Sprint's deployment of LTE over Band 25? I know it's market dependent but going through this site I read some scattered reports of Sprint only deploying 5x5 or 10x10 of Band 25 in some markets. Is this generally true? I would have thought Sprint would have deployed LTE over more of its PCS spectrum given that they own between 35-40MHz in many major markets. Why would they not have gone ahead and move those from 3G to the more spectrally-efficient LTE bands to get more capacity over such a congested network? Your insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
