I thought about inviting Robert out for some face-to-face fried chicken feasting on our Oregon trip last August, but I don't know if he'd have made the trek from Seattle to Portland just for KFC. Next time we go I may have to rethink the idea after finding this article - it might just be enough to entice him:

it could be KFC or home made, if its fried chicken, the man will be there.

 

great, now I'm hungry. ugh btw that link/pic looks great.

An outdoor model will be the airspan Irelay/Nokia B25/41 dual band relay hooked to a mini macro / Pico.

I looked at the mini macro nokia networks thread and couldn't find a pic of it. 

Good read on the magic box. Basically summarizes in more simple terms what I've said here.

Good article. Question if I may. Since it covers an area of 30,000 sq ft indoors and 100 meters outdoors, I assume that each box won't interfere with a neighbors box if they also had one.

So question on small cells.... what if Spring merges with T-Mobile .... what happens to all those small cells? Ie... I'm sure T-Mobile would be the dominating network and would replace the sprint equipment with their own. Can any small cells be reconfigured?

If the two merge it will help with Densificatioñ right away. While TMobile will most likely turn off CDMA. Both need more small cells.

I would also add that even if Son announced tomorrow a merge of the two companies, nothing will get done until after it is approved (usually a year after) and then another 1 or 2 if not more for equipment and phone changes. By then another version of the magic box would probably be in the pipeline.

Sprint posted this chart in the CTO blog. They're really small areas but it shows what Sprint can achieve when they invest heavily in an area.

 

That chart is Interesting. Taking NYC for example, if that is on one avenue only, from Grand St to 23rd st (1 and 1/2 straight mile) or all blocks above Grand St and below 23rd st. roughly 4.83 sq miles. Would be cool if they included all 304 sq miles of NYC for comparison. Speaking of which, as I checked the sq miles of each of those cities I was surprised to find out that Houston has more sq miles than NYC (629 overall). 

Been with S4GRU almost from the beginning give or take 4-5 months I believe. 

Started out giving ideas, then helped out with modding by reporting stuff and eventually ended up on staff. Learn something new each day, but most of the technical stuff, no matter how hard I try, flies over my head. So I just sit in the background mostly quiet, except for every 3 months when the earnings come out or a new device I like comes out or if I give a one way ticket to Banlandia.

 

Came really close to meeting a few members in real life, but didn't pan out do to scheduling, work and real life. etc. 

I like the members, staff, style and uniqueness of the forum, unlike many others that for lack of better words are, crazy and disappointing.

 

TS out  

Direct link..

 

Thanks, I saw it on the laptop. Unit is a bit bigger than I thought.

 

I really wanted to known what Masa was going to say at the end of the conference call. To bad he got cut off, but it was kind of funny.

He said, "I just sold to T-Mobile"

 

Just imagine what John and Neville are saying now?

They said "Welcome to T-Mobile"

 

Sorry, couldn't resist. I'll run away now before AJ hits me with the "Stop Spreading alternative Facts" ruler.

Ironically there is a video of Gunther showing it off on the newsroom.sprint.com/magic-box site but it keeps crashing on my (work) pc.  Gonna have to switch to my incognito work laptop to view it.

Just pre-ordered one. lets see if approved.

Really. Wow That is awesome.

But if one leaves Sprint and doesn't return it, it states (in that link you posted) that Sprint may charge up to $140 to a Sprint customer.

 

So even if they did charge for it, $140 isn't that bad. But Free is great.

I wonder how this may affect their bottom line giving so many out for free.

 Ahhh got ya.

Magic box is now official!!

ummm wasn't Sprint calling the Airave the "magic box" since 2007?

What is that?

The Airave. A personal base station for the home. This time LTE.Although the webpage doesn't show the LTE version, just says 3G.

 

^ Correction by nexgencpu made below...

I'm curious to know what this line is referring to? 

The company will be announcing another exciting technology innovation on today’s conference call.

This thread sure has been quiet lately, therefore let me ask the following,...

 

Recently, "Straight Path Communications" was being bid by AT&T last month to acquire it for its 28 GHz and 39 GHz millimeter wave spectrum, but a new bidder emerged which some are speculating is Verizon. The stock has soared through the roof. (rising 253.7 % in three months) But one analyst is stating it may be Softbank. In her analysis, she describes the reason why it may be Masa.

Even though all points seem to lead to Verizon being the secret bidder, I do find the idea interesting if it was Masa trying to acquire more spectrum. 

 

Any thoughts?

I think Marcelo is confident Sprint will report solid results on May 3rd:

Zacks Equity Research seems to think it will. Article

Maybe John Legere met up with Charlie Ergen in Denver. Now traveling to Germany to meet with the DT CEO.

 

"traveling to Germany to meet with the DT CEO"? Maybe, maybe you are right, but I interpret Legeres' twitter post of "FAR to the east" as Far East and Germany isn't in the Far East. The part that throws me off is why would Son have Marcelo, Gunther and Legere together. Things that make you say hmmmm.

Folks, this thread is for discussion of T-Mobile, not TV-Mobile.

 

AJ

It will be when Sprint merges with Charter.  

BuzzTime Game

 

LA Bound (which is where I'll be in a few days)

 

Trans Europe Express

That is a pretty good deal.

3 Jokers

 

 

I wonder how long they will keep it around this time.

I honestly do not recall the date they stop it the last time, I may have to look it up. But I'm hoping it continues long after the Note 8 is in stores. 

Marcelo tweeted earlier today that the Galaxy Forever program is back. 

Well I was partially correct in my prediction, the Galaxy Forever program came back. woohoo even Marcelo tweeted about its return.
