- In preparation for Network Vision, Network Ops will continue decommissioning a number of existing iDEN towers throughout the country..
- On the evening of 5/21/12, in the following markets: Albuquerque, Phoenix, Tucson/Yuma.
- On the evening of 5/23/2012, the following markets will experience coverage change: Inland Northwest, Oregon/ SW Washington, West Washington.
- Tower decommission continues every Monday and Wednesday evening through June.
Network Vision:
- Decommissioning eliminates excess capacity and has minimal customer impact.
- Retuning/decommissioning towers WILL NOT shutdown the iDEN market service in 2012.
- Customers who rely on in-building coverage near a decommissioned tower may experience in-building signal strength changes but street/in-car coverage should remain the same.
i'm excited for the 2nd phase of LTE deployments. Portland, Oregon is on the list. Are we talking early 2013?
ReplyDeleteYou know they should be more aggressive on killing off iDEN back in years ago, and offered upgrades to the PTT CDMA version. Could've freed all that spectrum for LTE
ReplyDeletethey tried..I was one of the early adopters with a Sanyo SCP 5500...but side by side with iDEN it couldnt compete
