These are my thoughts exactly. It would DEFINITELY save them money to just hire an outside telecom firm to handle their wireless communicaitons rather than run an entire network themselves. Seems like a no-brainer, especially as mentioned, with their overall usable footprint becoming TINY.

I was excited at first then... i remembered where i lived.

I'm more intrigued by the sweet chrome wheels on their work truck! -
But do you really think this network will remain nearly as usable to anyone once they can't roam onto Nextel's footprint?

All authors on that site are not created equal. I've read pure garbage there as well. -
Network Vision on 1x Only Towers
Boosted20V replied to zodiac12345's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
Saw this yesterday as well. Was suprised to see an analyst on Seeking Alpha with pretty thorough knowledge of the wireless landscape. -
Would you mind expanding on this a little...?
-
So Shentel said the end of the 3rd quarter they would launch. The last day of the third quarter is Saturday, Sept. 30th.... Wanna take guesses on when it will go live and Shentel will announce the launch?

You seem quite irate!

Network Vision/LTE - Boston Market (all of Massachusetts)

Physics? -
Another strange thing is that any non-LTE towers in adjacent sectors aren't directing to eHRPD. When I left the LTE area, I had a hard handoff to 3G. I wonder why Shentel isn't yet using eHRPD when they have LTE broadcasting live...
-
Not sure man... I really would hope it's not the EVO radio's although I haven't heard much good about them!
-
Toggle airplane mode on and off. My EVO LTE picked it up RIGHT away. Directly behind the Mcdonalds up from 19th st. I held onto it almost to the 83 on ramp. 25mb down 10 up, see screenshots.

Good man, got some shots myself. The antennas are on top of the apartment building behind the McDonalds... http://imageshack.us...2092510580.png/ http://imageshack.us...imag0214cv.jpg/ EDIT - Robert, also, if you notice in the horrible antenna picture, the left antenna is the same as in my previous shots of one of the other completed towers. It's a non-rounded, much smaller (1900mhz looking) antenna which was added. I'm wondering what Shentel is doing differently that it is using these....
-
Isn't it odd that this tower has no legacy panels? During cutover it's simply offline?

Network Vision on 1x Only Towers
Boosted20V replied to zodiac12345's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
Really? I know large portions of the I80 corridor in PA are 1xRTT only. Large swaths of western and northern PA are, which former affiliate owned these? -
This has been beguiling me as well. We know this is an active deployment area and yet we are all still seeing EVDO-A. Which is strange because most Sprint deployment markets show ehrpd well in advance of deployment. Also, Shentel stated in their last conference call that the new core was completed.
-
Shentel is one of Sprints last affiliate markets. Shentel owns/operates the network in your area but it is completely branded as Sprint. From everything I've seen honestly, Shentel service in my area is much better than the Sprint areas I travel to.

Checked out the tower. Contractors are definitely working on the NV panels. Have pics attached. They're the third group of panels from the top. Top is clearwire, not sure who's the second. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/52/imag0047n.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/801/imag0046p.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/96/imag0043nq.jpg/
