ingenium Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I wonder why they have not decommissioned the Nextel sites?They may have. This is just a record the city had of sites as of yet date. Likely pulled from their permit database. Sent from my Nexus 6P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyroned3222 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 The iPhone supports MIMO 4x4? That's news to me.I think it supports 256 QAM and 3 carrier aggregation! Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraydog Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I think it supports 256 QAM and 3 carrier aggregation! Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk It does not. Intel XMM 7360 powers the AT&T/T-Mobile/International iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. Therefore, Tyrone's speeds are likely done through 3 channel carrier aggregation. I assume Tyrone is in a market where T-Mobile is stacking 20x20 AWS, 10x10 PCS, and 5x5 B12. Unfortunately Intel lags slightly behind with no 256 QAM and no 4x4 MIMO support in the modem. Now Sprint/Verizon/Chinese models could conceivably support 4x4 MIMO, since they do not run on the Intel chip, but instead on the Qualcomm X12 modem. There is likely no antenna support for 4x4 MIMO in this generation of the iPhone. It absolutely could support 256 QAM but there is likely no plan for Apple to enable it when they would be creating a discrepancy between Intel and Qualcomm models. Performance has been better than a lot of people have thought it would be on the Intel models but the features aren't as good for the Magentans. To fully exploit 4x4 MIMO and 256 QAM, Magentans need to go to the GS7 class of devices, the GS7, GS7 Edge, or Galaxy Fire, I mean Note7.

floorguy Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Where was this from?? Because I sure as hell aint getting it around me..In fact I am still burnt about there "coverage" map and "verified" user tabs... load of Horse crap.... I went some where kind of remote, but checked the map... yeah wasnt happening... and its happened more then once... and I tweet and let them know about it... whos ready ???Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiWavelength Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 The new S7 update on T-Mobile enabled 4x4 MIMO! In the tweet, note the "not seeing much of a difference." That could be because these MIMO and modulation enhancements may require such optimal signal quality as to make little difference in the grand scheme. The only network upgrades that practically are guaranteed to improve overall performance in all signal conditions are spectrum bandwidth and site density.

I'm noticing a large difference downtown Jax now, but it's likely due to them enabling CA overnight as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
