A hybrid technology is what comes next. Its better than Wimax for fixed wireless and performance like LTe A for mobile.

Do you have any links to work being done on this hybrid, or does it not exist yet?

The only "links" were for testing, if you catch my drift.

 

No links with a URL

 

Also most sites will have a fiber circuit, so even though the air link capacity is several times that of traditional microwave capacity I suspect the main advantage comes from accelerated deployment capabilities and redundancy. The setup most closely follows protocol for LTE -A and will feature up to 18 RRU's per site.

That's a lot of RRU's!! I thought I read here at S4GRU that there were several Sprint sites in which the supporting structure could not support RRU's mounted behind the panels (due to the additional weight and, drag produced in heavy winds). As a result, these select Sprint sites were forced to ground mount the RRU's.  I would think with the 18 RRU's per site this technology requires, more of these type of problems would result.

The mounting will be as wind load effective as possible. In situations where the tower owner feels the weight is excessive higher lease agreements will be arranged. Insuring the tower structure and your equipment is always advised

 

A "low traffic" site can run on 4-6 rrrus.

 

Ground mounting the rru will only save me 12-20 pounds in total weight. A loaded site will have around 100 pounds of equipment

      Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.

      Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.

      No? RCS on Google messages works great for me, messages between anyone with RCS enabled go through with no problems. Don't remember the last time I had an issue. I only have issues with people on iPhones on different carriers from T-Mobile.

      Has anyone experienced a ridiculous amount of difficulty with Google messages with RCS enabled?  It has been a train wreck for me for the past year so I now use WhatsApp.  That works very well for all of us.... Android and iOS.

      Probably not worth the fiddling given that that's a few percent of the band. Also, if they really wanted to push my assumption is there are still guard bands in play for the n41 carriers so they could fit two "100 MHz" carriers into 194 MHz anyway. Looks like minimum guard band is less than 1 MHz and a 100 MHz channel is only 273 30 KHz resource blocks, which is a bit over 80 MHz total, so if they really wanted to pull another 5% or so capacity out they could.
