Re: Antenna and Tower Questions
said by Jim_in_VA  :Sprint (Millenicom) has a 1xRTT roaming agreement with Verizon and a 1xRTT/EVDO agreement with Alltel. Forgive the ignorant question, but does this mean that, bottom line, the antenna must be an Alltel or Sprint antenna for Millenicom's Franklin to connect to, to use EVDO?
Thanks. |

| Millenicom is a distributor of Sprint's service, and runs off the same towers that Sprint does. Sprint has roaming agreements with Verizon and Alltel, so if you are not within range of a Sprint tower but you are in range of a Verizon tower it will use 1XRTT, which is what Sprint's agreement with Verizon dictates for roaming Sprint devices.

The antenna can be anything that runs in the right frequency range (1900Mhz, I think.) and that you can get the right adaptors, cable and pigtail for your respective MBB device. While the antenna cables have a number of different industry standard styles (FME, N, etc), each MBB device usually has a proprietary connector for the external antenna, and you need to use a pigtail with the right one. Check with »wpsantennas.com and they can advise you which pigtail fits your device.
