Sprint's Network Vision 2012

Came across this video a few days ago.. it's an internal explination of the 2012 Network Vision. I know it's nothing earth shattering, or really all that interesting to most (or maybe it is!), but until we get some new EVO news, I figured I'd give you all a break from hitting the refresh key on all the sites, and give you a video to watch instead, lol.

Nextel Network Coverage Changes: San Francisco Bay, South Bay, Upper Central Valley and Lower Central Valley

Nextel Network Coverage Changes: San Francisco Bay, South Bay, Upper Central Valley and Lower Central Valley

• In preparation for Network Vision, Network Ops will continue decommissioning a number of existing iDEN towers throughout the country, the evening of 5/14/12, in the following markets:San Francisco Bay, South Bay, Upper Central Valley, and Lower Central Valley .


• Tower decommission continues every Monday and Wednesday evening through June.

Network Vision:

• Decommissioning eliminates excess capacity and has minimal customer impact.


• Retuning/decommissioning towersWILL 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.
