Is it not a software/firmware update on the existing 8T8R equipment?
It is. Several Nokia / Ericsson land markets have all three active. Software is not finalized and ready for widespread push yet though.

Any idea when 256 QAM and 4x4 MIMO may be deployed nationwide?

Nope because the news came from Milan Milanovic who, as far as I know, actually works for Ookla. Sprint's average speed climbed to 23.9 Mbps from 14.5Mbps last November.

Do you think Sprint will Sprint ahead once they turn on 4x4 mimo & 256qam?

256QAM made a huge difference in speed for T-Mobile when they activated it. I believe the same will occur for Sprint if they can implement. We have a commitment of early next year. I hope Sprint meets this... It will be awesome. I know it doesn't make much of a difference with Band41 (it will for Band 26 and 25). It will make some (more) difference even on 41 with a HPUE device.

Milan doesn't work for Ookla. He's just a TMobile schill. 

 

Remember his Intel vs Qualcomm iPhone modem articles? He conveniently forgets to mention how he's sponsored by Qualcomm and has a working relationship with them.

 

People shouldn't take him seriously, unless he's quoting crowd-sourced data. His "laboratory" tests mean nothing.

Quote from article..

"We took a look inside the Qualcomm iPhone with the help of Ookla's Milan Milanovic. (Note: Ookla is owned by Ziff Davis, PCMag.com's parent company.) Milanovic has a key piece of equipment we don't have in-house, provided by Rohde & Schwarz."

How much gear is capable of even doing that for B25/26?

I think Sprint has been moving a long great with B41, but not giving any love to their other bands.  Being able able to utilize additional LTE technology and have increased power output would go pretty far for B25/26 when one isn't on B41.  Especially spectrum starved B25 areas and high capacity sites.

He is a T-Mobile schill but he in fact does work for Ookla and receives information that carriers typically have to pay for. He has authored or co-authored at least 5 articles for them.

Interesting! Guess he finally got hired!

He typically spends his time trying to drive traffic to his Cellular Insights blog...

Now I know how t-mobile is getting into TV, by way of a cable company layer 3, they aren't in all areas though. 


No - if they want local programming. It’s extremely difficult. As not all local channels are owned and operated by the network.

And I assume TMO will need to beef up it’s network too.

    • I posted this in the Nebraska Premier thread last week, but just wanted to share in this thread the progress that T-Mobile has made in filling in the great coverage gap known as Nebraska. Between late last year and this year, they have added 28 new expansion sites filling in the coverage hole, plus 11 Sprint site conversions in eastern Nebraska and far western Iowa. Notably, in the last month n41 coverage was added on over a dozen expansion sites in western Nebraska that were added to the network last year. For comparison, here is the very first map that I created in October of 2022 after we noted expansion sites outside of Sprint conversion in Lincoln and Omaha. It doesn't show any western parts of the state, but just know there was nothing besides roaming coverage and a little B12 coverage leaking down from South Dakota to the west of Valentine, NE.
    • Sent a copy of my DB in an e-mail just now.  Couldn't leave the house today but can hopefully get a screenshot when I'm out on another cell site tomorrow.
    • 76MB Google Play System update after that, bringing the date up to 3/1 from prior 2/1 date. 
    • April security patch is already out - 738.30 MB download. 
    • What do you see with the latest alpha/ beta version?
