Dish Network 5G Internet?

[AZ.]

Did you expect to see towers springing up instantly? There's a lot of behind the scenes planning, engineering, and testing that goes into a project of this scope before the first subscriber can sign up. It looks like Dish is pretty much on track at this point.

Well, after 8 years yes....I would expect something....All we heard was excuses!....Now sure take 2 covid years away, that leaves 6 years of excuses and extensions!....Remember they won that bid and was talk selling it off......

Dish Network recently won the bidding for wireless broadband frequencies in all 176 U.S. markets auctioned by the Federal Communications Commission. Dish bid exactly the $1.56 billion it promised the FCC that it would spend in exchange for more flexibility in how it uses other wireless broadband frequencies.Mar 5, 2014

Rollout must start significantly. Not tower by tower. And no need to tip off competitors where you are going.

I don't think they care

 

[navychop]

They will.

Never bet against Charlie.

...While other companies are still offering 2G, 3G, 4G and now 5G as well in about the same spectrum DISH has, DISH's network out of the gate will be ALL 5G.

I believe that Verizon is the only carrier still supporting 3G, but they are turning that off at the end of this year (2022).

Since they are on shared towers, the competition knows where they are going.

As I said I know they ordered 100 ten gigabit fiber connections from Verizon. So i would expect at least 100 locations soon.

Why would, without physically looking, company A know company B is leasing space on a tower they are using from company C?

Any idea how many locations/towers ATT or V are using nationwide?

He is a bit late to the party

Att and v sold all their towers

 

[navychop]

“are using”

Is 10 Gbps enough for a single location? That seems "small" for 5G's range.

They will.

Never bet against Charlie.

Dish's future pretty much is leveraged on this shift to Terrestrial 5G. So yeah, Charlie is pretty much all-in with this, so doubting it wouldn't be wise. But, he needs the tech to be Hopper 3-esque to compete. From reviews, their current phone is more SlingTV quality than Hopper 3 quality.

Thats normal...sometimes they buy a second incase the first one fails

Will 100 towers meet their 20%?

 

[reubenray]

The great part of this is over the time the technology has improved greatly. While other companies are still offering 2G, 3G, 4G and now 5G as well in about the same spectrum DISH has, DISH's network out of the gate will be ALL 5G.
Again we are just over a week away from Team Summit, and SatelliteGuys will be there covering things. Be sure to pop in often for our live updates right from the show floor.

Could you explain what Team Summit is?

20% of population...probably

Better have some big high density cities lit up then...20% thats over 60,000,000 people?

You can that with just California

Could you explain what Team Summit is?

It is Dish Network’s big event for retailers and partners.

It’s where they announce new things and show off new equipment and ideas for the future with all the Dish executives.

My understanding is they will be officially launching Genesis there in Las Vegas at Team Summit.

Do a search for Team Summit and you can see our coverage from over the years.
