For sure. I'm not a WiMAX user and don't have much inside info. I'm guessing our operators use the 2500MHz-5800MHz range - pretty sure it's 5500-5800.

Oh boy, you need not have asked. I'm busy unloading my DSLR and then be prepared. I actually would love help identifying all the equipment e.g. LTE vs GSM vs WiMAX sectors since there's low interest back home. Our cell operators are very secretive with everything they do. Even though they frequent forums back home, they don't share anything. I know we use Powerwave and Huawei sectors; I'm sure there's the other usual suspects as well. I did 3 photo shoots on Sunday so have plenty to show 'n tell.

'Sup LTE friends. My name is Pete and I hail from the land of lions and zebra and live in a place called Johannesburg. Unlike a lot of my fellow countrymen, I'm not much into wildlife but rather into wild mobile broadband. My current obsession is all things LTE from the technology itself, to link distances, to base stations, to operator equipment, to end user speed tests and experiences. I also have a special interest in LTE outdoor antennas. What is LTE like on this side of the world? Well, I'm currently subscribed to a FDD LTE Band 3 operator and my daily speeds are 20-30Mbps down, 20Mbps up, with 30-40ms pings. For pure speed achievement, I've had up to 73Mbps with a TDD Band 40 operator while using dual LPDA antennas. The link distance in both cases is 1622m with clear LOS. LTE is quite prevalent here with the end of our operator trials about 18 months ago. We now have 3 of our "Big 4"operators offering LTE services. (2 FDD, 1 TDD). What makes me tick? I have a passion for wireless which has led me to following the cellular industry in recent times. I'm a self-confessed Apple fan boy BUT I have owned many an Android device. On the photography side of things, I'm a Canon DSLR user. I'm also a parent to a 1yr old boy who consumes 80% of my free time. Lately I'm also into base station photography and have a newly acquired 300mm lens. My home network consists of a LTE CPE, which feeds into a Ubiquiti ToughSwitch Pro, which in turn feeds into 3 UniFi LR access points and 1 NanoStation M 100m wireless bridge. I have 1 UniFi Outoor+ AP that isn't commissioned yet. I came across your forum while doing research on sector antennas and found some pretty hardcore information, with lots of related topics. That was the beginning of the end as they say...and here I am. Edit: a recent LTE installation I did...
