Easily answered. There is no 3GPP standard for for such combinations. 

 

Can't that be changed tho?

No carrier aggregation for band 13 in the case of Puerto Rico. What about ca with Tmobile bands..if the merger.....

Devices including the pixel support B66+13 and B2+13 since vzw uses 13 in the US so T-Mobile will likely do that. Sprint could broadcast non G block spectrum as B2 then do 2+13. Why no 25+13 or 13+41 idk.

I don't understand why Both B25 carriers are not aggregated with B26 and or 41? Makes no since. Only Sprint does this. Other 3 do 2 B2 carriers with other bands all the time

No Pixel compatibility? Lame!

It can be the same way in other carriers. Att drops down to HSPA+ during calls on non att branded phone's. TMobile on the pixel I'm not sure

I hope they keep B26. Sprint still has customers that have phones that don't have B12. B26 is also more widely available than B12. So some areas that would only have B26 and 71. Others they would have 12,26,71. People should not have to buy a new phone just to get B12 if B26 is still there for them.

In the case of Puerto Rico market, the DL CA,  can it  uses B13 instead of B26  or we just cant  take advantage of this..?

I haven't heard it official that Sprint is using B13 in Puerto Rico?

Now if only Sprint allowed these devices On Boost.

I hope Swaps happen in the Minnesota market.

Is that a good thing?

I know it cannot do 3xCA what I meant was only broadcast that third carrier for capacity and still do 2xCA.

Clear sites will need to be swapped to do the 3rd Carrier. which I believe will happen at some point.

Sprint has been making some weird choices for the GS7 and G5?  Why make the G5 VoLTE capable but not the GS7 while at the same time make the GS7 3xCA capable but not this one.

 

I guess if 3xCA won't be a widespread reality until 2017/2018 then its not really a big deal.  2xCA is pretty fast enough but it would be nice if Sprint kept things more consistent with their flagships.  I am not curious what the HTC M10 will provide.  Hopefully it contains VoLTE capabiltiy and 3xCA capability.

3xca starts soon. it will rollout just as fast as 2xca.

PCS is the 1900Mhz spectrum right? aka Band 25

Yes

Does this mean also Band 25 could be 20Mhz? instead of 5Mhz in markets

Doing these swaps allows Sprint to do 10X10 which allows for up to 75mbps. anything higher they will need to thin out or shutdown CDMA or Buy more FDD spectrum.

There will be another article coming. Tmobile and, vzw swapping with Sprint now.

how about upload CA?

Sprint doesnt have any upload CA. I havent heard anything about them actually doing it. If they ever do then yeah these new phones will not work on it. 2xca upload would help increase the upload speeds to around 30mbps or so I think.

how about upload CA?

Sprint doesn't even have any CA for upload speeds anyway.

Found 10x10 in Indianapolis.  

 

 

How are the data speeds on that?

Band 25 carrier aggregation is not coming anytime soon. Sprint will have to rip out the entire PCS infrastructure (LTE Rel 8/9) and put in LTE Rel 11/12 equipment. 

Increaseing the bandwidth on band 25 or band 4 doesnt have anything to do with CA. FDD-LTE doesnt need CA on the same band. Its only when carrier use 2 diffrent FDD_LTE bands to run at the same time.

 It looks like we have a troll in qhinton.....

Yes you are right.

This popped up in my G+ feed. I don't understand why this conversation never changes so sad. It was the same with wimax, lte, spark, and whatever this is. Are you guys not tired??

what are you talking about/ LTE/spark is nothing like wimax. I dont get people. wimax was only in 71 cities. spark is over 100 or way more.

Can the S5 enable CA?  I'm going to chicago this weekend and would like to do some testing for you all.  Just havn't messed with S5 like I did the S3 i had.

 

thanks,

John

I have the S5. however the S5 doesnt support 2XCA
