Sprint LTE Tower Coverage Strength

[efyoiphone]

Can anyone give me an estimate of how far the LTE coverage radius will reach from a single tower?

Depends if the tower is rural or city bc they lower the wattage in city to have less overlap then the other towers so handoffs are more efficient and in rural the towers are more spread out and less people on the tower bc in a city the towers would be overloaded alot if they were more spread out. So it depends and depends on the frequency

I'm talking about a fairly rural area.

Up to about 5 to 10km depending on terrain, weather and radio in the phone

That's good to hear. I have towers on 3 sides of me, none of which are further than 6 miles away. Terrain isn't a factor, I live in Louisiana, its flat as a pancake here.
