The greater portion of the MDAS (in-building cellular system) infrastructure construction has been completed for the buildings listed below. On Saturday, August 27th, On Air Solutions (OAS) will “turn down” the existing “Sprint Only” in-building cellular system and “turn up” the new MDAS; the existing Sprint in-building cellular system will experience a 60-minute service interruption between 12PM-1:00 pm. Once the cut-over is complete the new in-building cellular system will provide Sprint/T-Mobile coverage.
