DaQue Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 As I understand it high capacity sites get 4 RRUs per panel and the other sites get 3. Does this mean those with 4 use another 5 mhz carrier and is that outside of the G block? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one carrier for LTE currently. ABQ market has several of these sites. Robert explained it to me during the summer when I noticed three or four. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they could do another LTE carrier with just the one LTE RRU. I think I read they could add a card to the base equipment for it but don't remember if the RRU is up to it. It won't matter much once 800 or 2600 LTE is up and spark tastic but right now I think a few places the LTE is a bit crowded at the moment. They just put up the RRUs 4 per panel that I can see from my apartment door yesterday. I guess I lucked out 3 g wise.

One for the far edges of the cell radius and the other close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaQue Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 I guess I understood how the panels were set up wrong. I thought there were 2 1900 antennas one for CDMA and one for LTE and a third antenna for 800. There are only 3 motors to control downtilt, you can see them in the pictures, and there are 6 antenna coax hookups. 2 pairs marked for 1900 + and -, and one pair for 800 + and -.

digiblur Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 The fourth RRU is for sites with more than 4 CDMA carriers. They are typical around here in the city even in our market where Sprint doesn't have many customers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
