Question, 5G and 8x8 antennas.

[runagun]

So the 5g map link that's going around  displays that 5G is available in my location in Az.  I don't have any of the 128 mimo antennas around me.  The 8x8 where added last summer.  My question is. Would they be able to split the 8x8 antennas And run 4x4 in 4g and 4x4 in 5G?  This would be a short term fix of course.

No. NR requires new M-MIMO hardware

Thanks for the answer. I was going to ask you privately but thought this was a pretty good question that others might want to know.

Yep.

As of now the only actual NR equipment are Sprints 2.5 M-mimo units and a few 28 GHz units for Verizon, tmobile, att, and the like.
