As much as I detest nexhell... You don't understand what nexhell is and who its customers are. Neither does sprint.
nexhell is pretty much killed all the little mom and pop radio shops that provided local business users 2 way radio service. Its now all on nexhell.
nexhell is NOT, N O T a cell service! Its a massive nationwide trunked radio system. One of the features of the system is interconnect or making phone calls.
You simply can not say you need to get sprint CMDA phone and move all these subs to the 1900 CDMA network. You will LOOSE 80-90% of the customers of nexhell. The majority are there for the "chirp/direct connect/walkie talkie" feature of the system. Interconnect/phone calls are not the draw for nexhell customers.
Many companies use group connect as a replacement for their old business radio systems.
The only system that has come close to providing PTT on CDMA networks is Kodiaks and its very limited deploymnet, mostly Alltel. QChat is not up to the task.
Sprint and nexhell never made sense to begin with. Two different network technologies, iDEN and CDMA, two different bands 800 and 1900MHz. Two different classes of customers. All incompatible.
There was no synergy to mesh these two together. Nexhell needs to be spun back off on its own. -- Lorem ipsum ei pro stet equidem labores, at enim animal expetenda nec. Ea vix argumentum dissentiunt, usu esse ridens ex. |
