Just something to think about while we are being gimped more and more with single radio, non SVDO, non SVLTE, crippled junk.

 

I don't believe for a minute that a single radio with a single signal path will improve reception as Sprint claims, simply because the antenna tuning should be different between bands.  I further do not believe the battery implications that they claim multiple radios to entail.  These South Koreans obviously don't believe it either.  Further, multi-band aggregation would assure a smooth handoff between bands, while Sprint's band to band handoff is nowhere near smooth.

 

Sorry, just saw this today on Engadget and it reminded me to rant about a topic that has been on my mind for a long time.

Blah, blah, blah. Poor examples. The Korean handsets, too, will be single radio, hence non SVDO, non SVLTE, since they will be 3GPP only. Regardless, those factors are not relevant to carrier aggregation.

...and cave higher site density with lower cost.

 

No, the higher population density living in caves is North Korea.

      These creditors are going to get screwed one way or another. I see no exit for them that will be painless. Rule # 1 - Never get in bed with Charlie.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By Trip · Posted

      I don't disagree entirely but a lot of the really rural coverage (like where I grew up) still has little or no competition.  There is a lot of overlap but there are also a number of unique sites that will help things. But also, the fact is that a lot of the rural T-Mobile coverage is still "map filler" coverage that doesn't actually provide reliable service.  This will help. https://imgur.com/a/LRWF3FO Using where I grew up as an example, magenta is T-Mobile, blue is US Cellular, and gold are unique sites Shentel planned but didn't get a chance to construct before the buyout derailed things. EDIT: And even a number of the T-Mobile sites shown here are Shentel conversions.  The only reason for the site NW of Keysville is that Shentel built that one before the buyout pause.  The site southwest of Meherrin wasn't a Shentel conversion, although Shentel did plan to build there, but rather was added to fill a gap along US-360 when the Shentel conversions were taking place.  Three of the five sites in Farmville proper are Shentel conversions also, as is the one north of town just barely on the map. - Trip
