    Question, 5G and 8x8 antennas.

    in General Topics

    Posted

    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.

    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.

    All that is baseless libel. Evidence of wrong doing? Nope! Then don't accuss people of crimes or disparage their reputation without evidence

    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.

    For what it's worth, Verizon does have more spectrum in use than Sprint right now in NYC. I think they are using something like 110MHz of spectrum compared to the 100MHz that Sprint is using. Also like nexgencpu said, the main accolade is that Sprint is now beating Verizon in their home borough, a borough that has a daytime population of nearly 4 Million people. Having the fastest speed in Manhattan affects not only those that live there but also the millions that commute there from throughout the tri-state area on a daily basis.

    In one way the graphic of Sprint beating VZW. 60megs to 50 in one way is kinda sad.  VZW has 2.5x more customers then Sprint does and they still are competing.

    Received my MB today and it's plugged in and connected. It weighs a lot less the GEN 1 MB. None of my devices have latched on to the MB yet. It's been about 15 minutes now. How long does it take for your phone to see the MB?

    Just for shits and giggles do a prl and profile update.  See if that changes.

    TMobile is crappy..I mean seriously though... Charging $15 to swap your sim card to another phone even if you just take it out they charge you an extra $15 that's ridiculous that's total BS. I'm glad I'm with Verizon prepaid now. I don't have to deal with that crap.

    It's for Metro Pcs and it's always been that way. Just didn't enforce it until now.  Dealers are losing money when people get there new phones and leave the store only to swap the device then sell it.

    I hear what you’re saying.

    The collective feelings of the market/industry (self-interested as it is for the traditional tower folks) on the Mobilitie build was that it wouldn’t work out... and they were ultimately correct. It didn’t. Sprint clearly believed it had the secret sauce such that traditional wireless/economic rules didn’t apply, and Dr. Saw/Marcelo spoke to this a number of times. Ultimately, Sprint now has to go with a traditional tower build and the money/time that went into the Mobilitie plan is a sunk cost and had to be largely written off.

    Masa overextended himself with buying Sprint. He either didn’t do the due diligence or fully appreciate that the worst case scenario could happen and how much money it would actually take to turn the company/network around. As a result, he now holds just under 85% of an undercapitalized and underperforming asset, which will either merge with T-Mobile as a minority partner (not something he ever imagined I’m sure) or if it fails to go through, have to forge ahead on its own with all of the competitive issues (shrinking scale, limited 5G deployment, smaller coverage vs other carriers) that Sprint attested to in its “coming clean” FCC Filing.

    As a Sprint shareholder, I feel like I was sold a very different bag of goods when SoftBank took over. It certainly wasn’t this in my opinion. I feel like I should have taken a hint when Marcelo kept hitting the snooze button on the actual build plan/funding when asked and Masa kept talking about buyer’s remorse and going back and forth on the commitment to his Sprint investment.

    Being a shareholder as probably most of us are. It was always known, Masa's intention was to combine Sprint & T-Mobile.  It's easier to spend 50B in a network with 120+million customers then just 50m.  When that couldn't happen. Yess, absolutely it that dinged Masa confidence in Sprint.

    All in all everyone is getting what they wanted when/if this merger goes through. I personally really have no doubt it will happen.  Sit tight, if you work for either company sell the shit out of the services.  Uncertainties always brings opportunities.

    Look I hate Charlie Ergen, but at this point I think that it would have been much better if he had acquired Sprint or rather merged with it. At least he would have brought some spectrum with him and would have invested some money in Sprint.

    If he bought the company there would have has much much less money for any capital improvements.  His balance sheet is a lot worse. There's no one outside of a few companies that have billions that the can just throw to pump up a network.  A business has to be self sustainable.  Which Sprint wasn't for a decent amount of time, hence the cut in capital expenditures.
