They originally said they wanted to lower the number of vendors, which makes sense because they have to manage each one. However now they seem to be working with more companies than ever. I am not sure what they plan to do. Softbank is calling the shots now. So what they are doing in Japan they will do here in the US, that\u2019s the reality. All the companies they work with there will have a great advantage over here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-flag-checkered\" style=\"background-color: #eb6517; color: #ffffff;\" href=\"http:\/\/towersafety.com\/\" data-fasc-style=\"background-color:#eb6517;color:#ffffff;\">Tower Safety 480-313-0678<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I was reading<\/span> <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rcrwireless.com\/20150820\/network-infrastructure\/sprint-confirms-network-upgrade-plans-tag4\" target=\"_blank\">RCR magazine<\/a><\/span><\/strong> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">and<\/span> <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fiercewireless.com\/story\/sprints-saw-our-network-densification-wont-be-traditional-slow-and-expensiv\/2015-08-19\" target=\"_blank\">Fiercewireless<\/a> <\/span><\/strong>and then I read the <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/newsroom.sprint.com\/blogs\/sprint-perspectives\/blog-closing-the-gap-on-network-performance.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Sprint Blog put out by Dr. Saw<\/a><\/span><\/strong> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">and they keep talking about the deployment and what they plan to do.

We have hundreds of crews looking for work and they want to make sure that they are keeping<\/span> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">busy. I am glad that the Macro deployment is moving, slowly, but it is moving. I can\u2019t believe the shareholders don\u2019t notice this. Bandwidth is valuable and they are not deploying it to the best of their abilities. They seem to talk about it all the time but they still are just talking. That like talking about your new work truck while it sits in the garage and does nothing. Let\u2019s get to work and build a great network! Let\u2019s see if Softbank is as smart as they say they are! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-large fasc-type-flat fasc-ico-before dashicons-rss\" style=\"background-color: #eb6111; color: #ffffff;\" href=\"http:\/\/wadesarver.com\/scope-work-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-fasc-style=\"background-color:#eb6111;color:#ffffff;\">Click Here to Understand the Scope of Work<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I believe that Softbank is doing all that they can to make sure that the project takes off in an organized fashion.

That is the key to making sure it performs. They also need to understand that voice is still a key part of the network. Do they have a good migration path for VoLTE or will they just worry about data?\u00a0 I hear about all of that spectrum but they need to make sure they have a plan in place to offer a voice solution as well. Some of us still make phone calls on our mobile phones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I really like the fact they plan to use small cells to the maximum efficiency they can. I hope it is a success. If they can move up in quality in some urban areas then they have a real shot at growth. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I may criticize Sprint but I am hoping that they can improve. That will push all the carriers to improve. Their coverage will need to improve not only outdoors, but indoors as well. Remember that a majority of urban calls are made in the buildings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>Subscribe today on\u00a0<\/i><\/span><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-ico-before dashicons-video-alt3\" style=\"background-color: #ebe412; color: #0f0202;\" href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/wade4wireless-blogcast\/id884500168?mt=2&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D4\" target=\"_blank\" data-fasc-style=\"background-color:#ebe412;color:#0f0202;\">iTunes<\/a> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>or <\/em><\/span><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-ico-before dashicons-video-alt3\" style=\"background-color: #13afed; color: #140202;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stitcher.com\/podcast\/wade4wireless?refid=stpr\" target=\"_blank\" data-fasc-style=\"background-color:#13afed;color:#140202;\">Stitcher<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So good luck Sprint.
