Came upon my 1st 5G Install in the PHX market.   

Drove by just now.  8x8 panel has already been removed. Mimo panel live.

How is signal propagation compared to before and other bands now?

Curious about this as well.

Too early to tell.  But I will say the Mimo antenna takes up so little space.  They should be able to put that antenna on everything.

That unit weighs far more than an 8t8r antenna and radio setup FYI.

I'm familiar .  It should weight about the same as the RRU and antenna together.  Well thats what Johnny Saw would say in conferences.

Looks like a Nokia Massive MIMO unit! How are speeds around that area now?

It is.  Speeds so far are around the same as with 8x8 antennas. Device Im using is Moto X2 force if that matters.

Too early to tell. I do get more stalls while using data.   If that makes sense.

Not really.  I think they need to tune everything.  The same places where 8x8 b41 struggled. Still struggles with mimo.

Gotchu fren. When you get your data points in, let us know how many carriers and what frequencies you are seeing. I wonder if and how they will shuffle anything to accommodate New Radio, like the Magic Box or UE carriers. What is the available bandwidth Sprint leases on 2.5 in your daily travels? Thanks for what you have put together; these are great pictures.
