    Yeah I'm wondering when those will come out. I'm waiting for T-Mobile to start testing here.

    Next year. The em7565 I just picked up supports all the current bands and has 5GHz LTE, Cat-12. I am gonna wait for new radio 600MHz before I go dump 200 more bucks on a chip.

    T-Mobile is going to come and band 71 testing here... in less than 2 months. But that's good though beds live Where You Are.

    I am waiting for band 66 here. I am not sure when an embedded 600MHz radio will be available but 5 channels will be pretty impressive for the network experience.

    FCC supposedly gonna help fund network expansion into rural areas..

    Rural user here, all LTE connectivity except the POTS line. I used the savings from dumping CableCo -(that went out when it rains) to buy LTE equipment that is capable of (aggregated) 2 Gb p/s. If I add em all up I get actual about 60 or 70 Mb p/s. This is without any company CPE or "fixed wireless" dedicated frequencies. Shooting for 5/1 or 10/2 in a certain swath is lame and essentially make-work for air DSL when we have actual GHz of spectrum becoming available and software defined networking adaptive to a wide range of frequencies.

    The equipment is already there for much more, the carriers would like you to think having a dedicated, deprioritized channel coming from one site on one antenna is an actual effort at deploying good home service. Ffs just let people connect to your network in these areas and it won't be brought to it's knees, many do it every day. If you can deploy in publicly leased, licensed or even unlicensed spectrum in the hundreds of MHz you can service rural areas fully. Why would they spend millions and lobby for such large geo tracts?

    Not terribly detailed, but at least a peek into how Sprint's RF team tune and test the network...

    http://newsroom.sprint.com/article_display.cfm?content_id=126642&linkId=47922109

    Would love to see more of these with more detail in the future...

    "If you’re a news organization and would like to experience a network test drive, please contact Sprint at media.relations@sprint.com for more information."

     

    >Belus here at the Myrtle Beach Daily Necropolis Times, tell me more about this test drive . . .

    Since we have seen so many folks in the vendor/carrier alphabet soup collaborating, this seems like a great time for the smaller base carriers to get aggresive in competition. I like it. This may keep them honest on rollouts or worse, at least provide some dramady to distract us when they both light up two sites each in rural Montana on January 15 and call it a success.

    Also, >twitter

    I will save my super hot fire gif's once we see a reply back. Until then it is Yaass girl, 100% emoji, and fake news gifs.

  6. Not sure whether to MAGA or F A K E N E W S tag this. 

    The idea is great to motivate the out building of networks, densify or have the government haul out some Five Gee to cover rural areas. Make em compete on top where they wont build or create new competition. This could be part of an amazing infrastructure package. We get a sweet national network(under budget and ahead of schedule); plus we all get awesome jobs installing radios, fiber, antennas, towers and connected cars, telemedicine and the future is now etc inf.

    The government being the backdoor sure sounds lame. They could also spend 2T dollars on this and have anything from a huge hole, a unique view to your usage, and misuse and abuse. Let alone the implications of all that spending, unprecedented corporate take overs, and how it all shakes out for security.

     

    Hey if it comes to a vote and works out, hope we all get some sweet futurenet speeds.

    So there seems to be some talk of a nationalized 5g network to be mandated by the government.

    Why it matters: We’ve got our hands on a PowerPoint deck and a memo — both produced by a senior National Security Council official — which were presented recently to senior officials at other agencies in the Trump administration.

    The main points: The documents say America needs a centralized nationwide 5G network within three years. There'll be a fierce debate inside the Trump administration — and an outcry from the industry — over the next 6-8 months over how such a network is built and paid for. 

    Two options laid out by the documents:

    The U.S. government pays for and builds the single network — which would be an unprecedented nationalization of a historically private infrastructure.
    An alternative plan where wireless providers build their own 5G networks that compete with one another — though the document says the downside is it could take longer and cost more. It argues that one of the “pros” of that plan is that it would cause “less commercial disruption” to the wireless industry than the government building a network.


    Well, that sure is something.

  8. Good find @Paynefanbro. I expect the initial service to start naturally, in the cities they trial fixed wireless in. Good on Tmobile, pushing their hand if that is the reason. They do have an 8 billion dollar 600 MHz interest to market, so that may be a factor for all the hype. Plus cellular, companies love to hop on the next thing. I hope this makes a faster time to reach the masses then LTE did.

    Also; Ha! I'm still waiting for Five Gee Evolution.
