Drive-tests: Sprint 4G LTE Network Performance on the Moto Photon Q
Being the closest ATer to a Sprint LTE market (Atlanta, GA), I hopped in a car on Friday and made the nearly seven hour drive to Atlanta to test the Photon Q in its ideal environment. Raleigh, NC remains a Sprint 3G-only market for now, where I typically find speeds below 1Mbps (0.1Mbps - 1.5Mbps seems to be the typical range). As we've seen in our previous investigations of LTE performance on AT&T and Verizon, the move to 4G LTE can be significantly faster than HSPA+, and definitely compared to Sprint's EVDO. \\anandtech.com
The overall performance stats are below:
| Sprint LTE Performance (Atlanta & Athens, GA) | ||||||
| Average | Min | Max | StdDev | |||
| Downstream | 5.98 Mbps | 0.094 Mbps | 32.6 Mbps | 6.06 Mbps | ||
| Upstream | 4.82 Mbps | 0.152 Mbps | 14.3 Mbps | 3.36 Mbps | ||
| Latency | 59.8 ms | 31 ms | 578 ms | 44.3 ms | ||

Sprint vs T-Mobile USA - two unlimited data options comparision
Conclusion. On a financial basis, T-Mobile wins at every tier, and offers an even better deal if you're willing to bring in your own phone and forgo a contract.
T-Mobile also addresses the lack of an iPhone with its own Micro SIM card and ability to serve unlocked iPhones, but that's likely too much of a hassle for most customers. Sprint has a superior lineup, even if its phones can't yet take full advantage of the fastest possible network.
Of course, coverage is the real wild card. Customers in the few Sprint LTE markets that are up will have a superior experience. Coverage on either carrier will vary greatly depending on location, time, interference, and local wireless traffic. By the numbers, T-Mobile offers the best deal, but you should do your homework before committing to either unlimited data option.

Sprint expands LTE to Baltimor, DL is up to 15 Mbit/c
Sprint officials showed off new 4G LTE cellular service today in Baltimore, the carrier's 16th market in the U.S. to get the technology.
Network Vision calls for Sprint to first deploy LTE over the 1.9GHz spectrum it holds, followed by the 2.5GHz spectrum at some point and the 800MHz spectrum later, Chu said. The 1.9GHz channel offers wide geographical coverage, which means Sprint won't need to add more cell sites or towers as additional subscribers buy and use LTE smartphones and other devices, Chu said. The 2.5GHz channel offers greater LTE capacity, while the 800MHz channel will help with in-building coverage.
Some more information about antennas, RRH, small-cells is article too. Vendors for small cells are: ALU and Samsung. Vendord for the main RAN - ALU, Ericsson and Samsung.

Samsung to provide small cells for Sprint's 4G LTE network
Samsung announced it will help develop Sprint's small-cell infrastructure for use in Sprint's 4G LTE network and its 3G network improvements. Samsung's statement came several days after Sprint said Alcatel-Lucent would also be providing Sprint with small cell gear for similar purposes. Sprint has a massive multiyear Network Vision network-building intiative under way that will include the Samsung and Alcatel-Lucent products. Network Vision is expected to cost Sprint up to $5 billion. In the second quarter of 2012, Sprint had already spent $700 million on Network Vision. \\computerworld.com
