tyroned3222 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Will be good for the inmates lolSent from my Pixel 2 XL using TapatalkYa band 41 doesn't reach that far out .. it's drops to band 25 at around the 3 mile mark Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyroned3222 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 So, as these band 41 sites turn on range is limited which I'm sure is part of the obtimization process. Now the whole the phone showing 3xca, but only brodcasting a single carrier band 41 will that also be fixed during the obtimization process ?Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDITED BY DKOELLERWX, THIS IS QUOTE FROM ONE OF MY POSTS: "So far, Ericsson 8T8R sites do not appear to support carrier aggregation. I have several in my market that I have found. For the moment, they are a step down from the Clearwire sites they replaced. 3 carriers are being broadcast, but aggregation does not seem to be happening."

But the site is most definitely broadcasting 3xCA. You can disable CA since you have a Samsung device for testing purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is active and live. 3xCA speeds aren't necessarily super fast. If the site has a lot of users on it or the signal isn't that great, speeds will be slower. My home site only gets about 15 Mbps during the day on 3xCA for example. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's explaining it wrong. Ericsson 8T8R sites are broadcasting 3 carriers, however it doesn't seem to support throughput on 3 carrier simultaneously. The speeds attained on Ericsson 8T8R sites are the same whether you are connected to 1 carrier, or all three through 3xCA. I have seen this on multiple Ericsson 8T8R sites in a couple different markets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrier Aggregation is not behaving properly on the relatively new Ericsson 8T8R sites. The older Nokia 8T8R sites in Ericsson markets are still working properly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does the throughput on each drop by 2/3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen this on multiple Ericsson 8T8R sites in a couple different markets. That appears to be similar to Samsung and I assume Nokia and ALU regions when 3CA was beginning to roll out. It turned out there was still backend upgrades that needed to be done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jroepcke51 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I was driving around ABQ yesterday running errands and I noticed three different towers with new equipment. Two with mini macros and one with 8t8r. Nice the northeast heights is getting some love. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgewood and Moriarty have B41 now, and every site in the canyon has LTE. Very slow LTE in some areas, on par with 3G, but fast enough for VoLTE. I'm thinking almost the entire metro has very usable data now! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookertdub Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Sprint still has some work to do in ABQ as speeds were quite slow of Frontier Restaurant, but at Isotopes Park, the speeds on Sprint's network were fantastic when I was there this most recent Wednesday.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
