Wireless Coverage Tahoe Truckee and Olympic Village
Wireless coverage in this mountainous area is challenging. It appears that the coverage with Sprint PCS is best, then Tmobile, followed by Cingular and then Verizon. In Olympic Valley or Squaw Valley, Sprint PCS was best with both Nextel and TMobile being strong once you get in the valley. TMobile and Cingular drop as you're coming up hwy 89 and then the first 1/2 miles or so into the valley.
Sprint PCS and Nextel also happen to be widely used by the local venues as their carriers if that means anything.
Northstar personell also use SprintPCS which appears to function well.
There is a TMobile site within the Squaw Village and a Skytel radio inside the Resort @ Squaw Creek.
No 3g or fast internet mobile services are available. SprintPCS connects on 1xRT, Verizon when you can get coverage is on 1xRT, and Cingular and TMobile switch between EDGE and GPRS.
In Reno Nevada not too far away, Sprint does offer PowerVision EvDO 3g service. I could not get 3g HSDPA/UMTS Cingular service nor could I get Verizon EvDO service in the Reno Sparks area.
