Sure. Would have to be almost 30% larger than the 900 MHz equivalent.
Full wave at 700 MHz is ~~ 42.9 cm (16.7 inches). If they are going
multiple wavelengths, it would have to be in units about that size.
Our 900 MHz "surfboards" are ~~ 4', or approximately 4 wavelengths.
Something similar in 700 MHz would be (almost) 6 feet tall.

I saw tower guys installing huge sectors with 8 ports to tower top
unit and then fiber and RF down for AT&T in 700mhz bands
Antennas are huge!!!!

I hear mention of MU-MIMO in LTE. But to deploy MU-MIMO would it not
require a multiple antennas in each sector with a very expensive LTE
base station for each sector as well?
