T-Mobile said to blanket Las Vegas in LTE within days
Share:
The CTO for the nation's fourth largest carrier, Neville Ray, says that after the Las Vegas launch, T-Mobile will quickly turn on its new LTE service in Kansas City. Ray hinted that T-Mobile's LTE roll out will follow the same path the company used in turning on HSPA+ in the 1900MHz band which started with Las Vegas before going through Kansas City, Baltimore, Houston and Washington D.C. T-Mobile hopes to have 100 million people covered with its LTE signal by the middle of 2013, reaching 200 million by the end of the year.
It is believed that the Samsung GALAXY Note II used by T-Mobile customers will receive a special update that will turn on a dormant LTE radio lying inside the device, making the phablet one of the first phones with LTE available for T-Mobile customers. The Samsung Galaxy S III will also be one of the first LTE phones available for T-Mobile customers.

T-MOBILE needs to RAMP UP THEIR LTE a little faster so they can get SOME LTE hand sets for their consumers.

It's always so easy to sit back and say " they need to do it faster" this isn't a download software and turn it on kind of task. There's a lot of hardware and man power to make this happen...

I have to say, even though they're really late to the LTE party, their rollout looks pretty quick. 2/3 of the population within a year is pretty strong.

they already have all the hardware in place, they've been testing out the LTE for the past 4 months.

hardware is present just like in other modernized markets, HOWEVER there's still some items that needs to be installed and uploaded, optimizing (you want to do that) and data testing. I know this because i live it and breathe it everyday i go to work
Let's just say we did what ATT has been doing for the past 2 years...no really its taking them that long to do what is being done on this network

Tmo will be just fine they are doing and excellent job not only with it's speeds but great battery life and signal strength. Tmobile here in New York City simply s**ts all over Verizon I love that. We won't even say what Tmobile does to Sprint with there customers walking around here in New York City with 3g Galaxy Nexus's, 3g Htc Evo 4g Lte's, and 3g Galaxy S3's and Galaxy Note 2's. Can't get NO MORE PITIFUL than that. Sprint was suppose to already have New York City with LTE. Thank god i roll with Tmobile in New York they have much network.
