Cox Wireless Network Build Well Underway
Hires BCI Communications for network construction

In the recent 700Mhz auction, Cox Communications won 14 Block A and 8 Block B licenses for bids totaling roughly $304 million. Through a joint venture with Sprint and several other cable companies, Cox also spent $2.37 billion to buy 137 AWS licenses. The company has since announced they plan to become a wireless carrier, starting with CDMA/EVDO and eventually making the jump to LTE. While Cox isn't talking much about their wireless network build yet, indications are that BCI Communications is helping Cox and that construction is well underway.

CDMA/EVDO

Too bad they didn't go WCDMA/HSDPA

»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSDPA

quote:
High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) is a 3G (third generation) mobile telephony communications protocol in the High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) family, which allows networks based on Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) to have higher data transfer speeds and capacity. Current HSDPA deployments support down-link speeds of 1.8, 3.6, 7.2 and 14.4 Mbit/s. Further speed increases are available with HSPA+, which provides speeds of up to 42 Mbit/s downlink.

Obviously Cox is going to be using Sprint as a roaming partner. It's just a matter of time before Sprint will be bought out by one of the cable providers....

They're the ones that brought the $99 plan out. Everyone still offers it except VZW. Sprint is the one that brought out $50 flat rate unlimited nation-wide on iDEN and will expand to the CDMA network as well.

Well, not exactly. Most people believe they are trying to pump up the iDEN subscriber count to make a sale more attractive. Intergration efforts within Sprint have stopped, and they are rumored to be making efforts to make a sale easier. Also, Boost DID offer an unlimited CDMA based flat rate plan, that was $20 higher than the iDEN one. They scrapped it when the iDEN $50 plan was announced. I would be highly surprised to see a $50 unlimited Boost CDMA plan.

Re: CDMA/EVDO

I never said anything about them moving the $50 unlimited plan to Boost. I said about Sprint bring it out on their side. Boost will go away, Sprint-Nextel will drop their rates and will become one as far as rate plans go.

And you don't have to integrate the networks to offer the same plans. You can have a Sprint $50 unlimited without walkie talkie or you can have Nextel $50 with unlimited walkie-talkie. Easy to choose from no problems deciding. You either want it or not.

Re: CDMA/EVDO

it's doing great around here as well. I went the other day and donated blood and one of the employees asked if i had it and i told her yah and she asked me if it was really $50 and i told her YEP! she said DAMN! I'm changing from Revol/Cricket/MetroPCS to them! Screw paying $47 per month before taxes and only being able to use it here in Toledo. I said you can use it outside in other cities if you pay $5 extra for roaming but have to be in a "partner" city. She said F*(K that!

Boost needs a referral program!!! i have referred like 5 people in the last 2 weeks!

You're not looking at the big picture. Cox wants to do this now. They're going to be depending on Sprint to provide the national coverage. Sprint is CDMA. Cox is going to have to be CDMA. Its simple. With Verizon going to LTE, there is going to be a migration path to LTE, how it will work is anybody's guess but if you want to deploy something now, today, right this minute, you've either got CDMA or UMTS, and since Cox's partner is running CMDA, this is a no brainer.

cdmawon @sbcglobal.net 1 edit	It's all CDMA. HSDPA,WCDMA,HSDPA+,EVDO,EVDO RevA,RevB etc. LTE is forklift. LTE will be slow to deploy, offer very litte in improved spectrum efficeny and will be multimode devices for years to come. You talk about the death of CDMA what about GSM?
