4x4MIMO is not possible on 700 because there is not enough spatial diversity on the handset side.

Is Sprint doing 4x4MIMO on B41?

Why the sad face do you really need 300+ Mbps on a phone. It does not affect the total capacity of the tower. 4x4 and 4x2 have the same tower capacity.

As I understand it, 4x4 would allow 300mbs from the device end, but we will still have beamforming plus the 4x2 benefits so edge of signal should see a sizable improvement.

It doesn't seem to matter though when it comes to Sprint. If it sees band 41 at -116 dbm and there is a band 25 or band 26 tower with better signal even if they are at capacity it will switch you over. With band 4x4 it would hold it longer maybe.

I think this is more of an optimization thing than anything else...

Has anyone seen any upgrades going on? Looks like everyone has come to a halt except for AT&T.

In Ocala and Gainesville I seen Verizon and At&t upgrading left and right. Sprint and Tmobile not so much especially Sprint.

Great. Better battery life, more features better rf in very band(hard to believe )+ CA, s pen, samusng pay, gorgeous screen, faster wireless charging, better front and back cameras and camorders, fingerprint scanner and even better Bluetooth. Im not complaining. I only miss those front speakers and all of the lte bands the nexus 6 had. Well that and updates

For some odd reason I want to try an iPhone 6s plus. When I went to buy my Nexus 6 I was tempted to buy a 6 plus. I'm getting that Apple itch again.

I've recently received an iPad mini 3 to place orders for customers. I also won a iPad mini 1 for being 8 year with no work related accidents. Anyways I just can't get into tablets anymore. I think I'll wait until my wife gets her 6s plus before I make my final decision.

B30 additions? Most permits around me in South Jax is Tmo or At&t. Little amount of Verizon, too.

I talked with some Betacomm folks that worked on a DAS system for all of the carriers at my workplace and they mentioned AT&T has a set budget and often hit the budget before year's end and they stop all projects, even maintenance for their sites.  It is interesting that they seem to be getting the most attention in Jacksonville, though.  I believe they have a monopoly on the cellular frequency here.  I have never been able to connect to Verizon's 850 1x/3G signals here.  Only 1900.

I only have seen one site upgrade in my region from AT&T this season. And they aren't even complete with their LTE deployment here.

Yes AT&T does have all the cellular in this market. To me AT&T has better overall coverage and that is why. I think that AT&T are doing all their upgrades that they should have done last year because for the first half of this year I didn't see any work of theirs going on.

Which carrier seems to be doing the most work in your region?  IIRC, T-Mobile/Sprint are limited where you're located.  Unless you're referring to a nearby town?

Verizon and Tmo are actively deploying here. Both significantly.
