Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Well, some towers have the RRU mounted at the base station... Can it be mounted remotely for the B41 equipment?

belusnecropolis Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Well, some towers have the RRU mounted at the base station... Can it be mounted remotely for the B41 equipment? Certainly is not an ideal condition, but yes they can be put into what some call a ground mount radio unit type setup. Essentially the way most setups were done before network vision decided to pop em up top and get all that distance out of the way.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD I'm pretty certain GMOs do not get LTE. The determining factor is does the antenna at the top support the bandwidth needed and the frequencies? If they do then the RRHs wouldn't be ground mounted. So no. Not to mention 8T8R requires specific antennas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a site is specifically a GMO, it has legacy antennas, so it can't support any 800 MHz services. But that doesn't mean sites can't have RRUs mounted at the BBU cabinets and NV capable antennas (in which case they wouldn't be a GMO). At those sites, all bands should be possible. As far as I know, you usually only see something like that in places like rooftops or small/stealth sites (like "flagpole" sites) like this one from the in-progress thread: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD The radios can be mounted anywhere. You just get a severe signal loss from the coax cables the farther the radio is from the antenna. They'll be mounted as close as possible but if it needs to be ground mounted then so be it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 6 RRUs are on the ground, like so: The county of Fresno (and Clovis, and everywhere else on planet earth) has different standards, apparently, so their sites look like more like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitslizer Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Will 8T8R require new phone? or can currently released phone take advantage of 8T8R? this giga ohm article say this is being tested in chicago?

superbluepsd Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Does an 8T8R installation at a previously completed NV 1.0 site require a new set of hybrid fiber cables to be run from the MMBS up the tower to the 8T8R RRU's? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that depends on how early in NV1.0 that site was built or converted. The site near my house was reworked May 2013 and they did not pull another snake up the pole. However a site in town was upgraded later and had to have additional cabling pulled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the sites in my area were mostly NV 1.0 complete between Feb and Aug 2013. I ask the question because I have recently started to notice an additional panel mounted on the Sprint rack next to the NV 1.0 panels on a few of the sites around here. I did a quick site visit to a couple sites and saw no new cables from the MMBS. I need to revist with a pair of binoculars and a DSLR to confirm what this additional panel is. Hoping for 8T8R!

ryry4ya Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Why is there an additional cabinet? The site is not high capacity. There's other sites they have additional cabs.. Why some have it why do some not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awsum gam3r Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 No. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk mhm. Okay, thanks. I just wanted to make sure because this one site has only two Base Stations and is putting out Bands 25/26/41. I thought for B41, there was an base station to go with it. But that's awesome anyways!

New hybrid cable maybe if the existing hybrid wires don't have enough fiber support and the new antenna and radios up top. Some sites have two cabinets because of high capacity setups.
