Yes that is correct. Giving b26/41 would give that band a huge capacity boost. It would also keep people on b41 longer. B25/26 together is also better than b26 alone. Sprint is the only carrier that does not aggregate all of the bands. If b26 is congested using it in CA would only help not make things worse. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I just wish Sprints b26 was faster. It's so slow almost no matter what tower. Sprint should be prioritizing b25/b26 CA and b26/41 CA Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I honestly don’t know. I don’t have Sprint on my iPhone any more so I can’t check. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Transmission mode 9 reduces interference between towers and helps keep SNR more stable. Sprint is the only carrier I have seen using this. For now it’s used only on B41. For FDD LTE carriers use TM3 and TM4 depending on signal. I have also seen B41 using TM7 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You can do it with the MSL code but it has never worked. For example before 2XCA had a toggle in the MSL menu it was already activated. Also I wonder what Sprint is planning on doing to band 25 since the setting to have it use TM9 is there but inacvtive Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Interesting. It’s not enabled in the settings Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What phone was doing 25+26?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

B26+b41 is equally more important. It would give b26 a huge capacity boost that I needed a long time ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

True but this was likely line of sight. Sprints upload CA breaks down fast when foliage and buildings are introduced. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At the moment I dont think there is enough 5G equipment Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Impressive considering the tower will still be running LTE Advanced too. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Sir you are incorrect. It went from 82.3 per carrier using 2x2 mimo + 64qam on configuration 1 and configuration 2 brought it to 112.5 per carrier using the same way and mimo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What is the theoretical max speeds down and up on a 5mhz slice of 600mhz spectrum using 5G??

I don't think he understands the hurdles that comes with building out a 5G network. Capex which Sprint and Tmobile lacks, health risks using mmwave since it has never been tested on humans, cities refusing to use small cells and the spectrum to have nationwide coverage in a reasonable time frame. There is alot more to this 5G game than meets the eye.

Realistically its anyone's guess. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

All Tmobile, Sprint and Verizon have the same site density. ATT is one tower less in the area. Sprint is the only carrier that tried to use a small cell but the county shut that down really quick. The nearest tower is only 1.8 miles down the road. The other 3 carriers have no issue with it just Sprint it's not range its congestion. The way I see it massive mimo is the only solution besides adding a new tower Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I wont post it because of the rules but Sprint recently upgraded an incredibly busy tower with 8t8r 8port equipment. 2 of the three antenna run at under 1mbps most of the day even at 80s dbm signal. The 3rd antenna between 70-110 in the day. Late night I have seen speeds over 200 mbps. That's a lot of people that even good backhaul,3xCA TM9, 4x4 mimo, 256qam and upload CA cant handle. Verizon and Tmobile are co located. Verizon put up what appears to be a massive mimo antenna and tmobile has a 12 antenna set up. The tower guy thought Sprint was crazy for not using massive mimo. But Sprints network is alot better than it was. I just cant help but think that b25/26/b41 CA should have been implemented already. Sprint is the only carrier than does not aggregate different bands. It would help indoors alot because I can tell you the minute b41 is gone its hit or miss with b25. Although b25 upload speeds are alot more consistent. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I still feel like tmobile would have had this taken care of by now. Also why is Sprint still building new towers without b41? What happened to them saying they dont have to go back for more tower visits? Why is Masa so quiet? What happened to 4XCA that they said was going to happen in a statement almost a year ago?

That's not volte. That's calling plus now rebranded as LTE calling. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Hey that’s 5G!!! At least that’s what AT&T would say [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have you spotted any small cells in Tampa? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

High possibility that's the native tmobile roaming. They use b66 instead of b4 in alot of places nowadays.

You should check. I know Jax is a round one 5G market. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

iPads don’t. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Only Samsung and iPhone have full info on what band is on AT&T. It’s likely b46 tho Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
