Where is this Verizon ED-DO signal coming from?

The combination of Walsh codes on the forward link, and Pseudo-random Noise codes on the reverse link make this possible on paper, but thats where it stops .

44,000 is not, and probably never going to be possible due to real world constraints. Namely, because as you stated, the 1.25Mhz spread that were working with.

 

Blue_Tech, I have another question for you since you are knowlegable on the subject.

I know that, generally, the more people that are talking on a cellsite/sector, the higher the noise level or Ec/Io of that sector. If the noise level gets too high, calls start to be choppy/ drop. How does a carrier lower the noise level on the site/sector? I don't think adding T-1 lines would help in this case...would it be adding capacity of what the site itself can handle?
Thanks,
Andy

 

When the noise floor stays high consistantly because of many users, it's time for the carrier to add RF capacity by putting another 1.25 MHz channel in service on that sector of the site. Then you'll likely need some more capacity between the cellsite and the carrier's switch, so plan to add T-1 lines from your friendly ILEC.

There is not much you can do to reduce high noise EC/IO on a given carrier freq.
Putting screens behind the panels, good forward & reverse power control minimizes somewhat, but as the prev. poster said, you eventually have to add another carrier freq (if available).

 

Thanks for the information, guys. I guess if no more carriers are available to put on the site, then a new site needs to be added to relieve the old one.
This stuff is interesting

 

Yes, due to the 1900 panel, but it looks more like a Cingular site if the picture is from the NY/NJ area.
VZW's upgraded sites all have 2 inner flat 1900 panels ( that I have seen), while many of ATT (Cing)'s are the sites with 1 1900 panel between the 800's (here in the NY market) .....

 

I agree with MeatChicken, this might be a Cingular site, but I might be wrong. It's definitely 800/1900 though
