"The proposed @TMobile @Sprint merger is vital to accelerating the deployment of a nationwide mobile #5G network, enabling the U.S. to take a leadership position in 5G." 

Translation this government needs to approve this merger so I can the millions of dollars that I was promised then I would move back to Seattle where I used to reside during my Clearwire days. 

Who the heck wants to live in Overland Park KS?  It's like the damn Truman show. Marcello couldn't wait to leave. Lol

Massive MIMO antennas found today in the Columbus market.  Can broadcast many beams of B41 LTE 2500 and 5NR (5G).

Yay, you found Mimo.  You know what tower it was?

It seems like something is happening to my home tower. Trying to get better pictures of it, but I'm just too far for anything but a blur on my iPhone. Over the weekend, we had sporadic LTE service go in and out. Speeds have slowed a bit, but now there are safety cones on the roof of the building where the equipment is.... fingers crossed.

 

Best shot I could get:

 

Yay Finding Mimo.

NIMBY people piss me off.  But I will say that I really did feel strange when I took pics of the last mimo antenna in the PHX thread.  I dunno if I'm extra sensitive or because the tower is only 40-50 feet high. But I personally notice a different feeling.

How is it, living the dream?

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

PH29XC403 

Half of the towers around me have been Mimo'd   This one Im surprised. Ive been checking it out frequently. They did this sucker really fast.

How is coverage/propagation with the new equipment?

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

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.       

PH13XC093

Tmobile upgrading the tower closest to me.

Doesn't look like Sprint to me.  Looks like ATT

Which tower is that? I need to pay attention....

 

In Tukee.  By 40th and Chandler Blvd.  Behind the fire department.

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.

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

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.

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

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

Just another pic install happening in PHX Az

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

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.  

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.

Ehhh, I don't think the rougher waters is not technical in nature.  It started when some Democratic lawmakers started to speak negatively.  Their friends on the bureaucratic side are starting to explore their concerns.  That's my theory.  It was all but approved until the publicly made negative comments started.

Robert

I agree with Robert.  Typically, Democrats tend to focus on helping the little guy.  And with this merger, which ironically I want to happen for Sprints sake-It's going to fuc* all of us in the long term tho.

Now the D's are grabbing on to that platform . I can see some trouble for the merger.  I guess we'll just see what happens.  

Giving back to what I said a few weeks ago. About TMobile team staying @ Trump's place of business is smart. They wash his back. He washes their back.  Pay for play my friends.

What do you mean? If you want to see the antennas, head over to the Equipment Spotting section and look at the Massive MIMO antennas.

The other antenna...  I know about the 5g one.  The other is something I've never seen.  Doubt it'll be the 16 port one.  

So this is from Saws Twitter feed.  What info do we have on the antenna that's with the 5g

They should build them in Wisconsin. By FoxCON.

Bud, You took it as a a disparaging comment.Subject Matter is T-mobile staying at his hotels.  Chill on the Kool-Aid, it could give you diabetes.   

Oh, I see your from AZ.  Coverage on the East Valley still stinks even after swapping to the Moto X2 force.  They've upgraded 2.5 but they still have a bunch of holes around Gilbert. 202 East is a nightmare from I10.
