Both Nick and I are in agreement with you on that front. Carrier aggregation is a horribly way to use spectrum. Things like MU-MIMO are far better approaches. Carrier agg is the technically lazy, cheap (as in R&D cheap) and band-hosing method to increase capacity.

CA doesn't get me as excited as a lot of people... just light up more channels and push people around. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com [Image removed by sender.]<https://www.facebook.com/ICSIL>[Image removed by sender.]<https://plus.google.com/+IntelligentComputingSolutionsDeKalb>[Image removed by sender.]<https://www.linkedin.com/company/intelligent-computing-solutions>[Image removed by sender.]<https://twitter.com/ICSIL> ________________________________ From: "Gino Villarini" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, March 6, 2015 7:49:52 AM Subject: Re: [Telrad] LTE Categories Verizon is banking heavily on CA with 5 and 3.5 Ghz.. That would help in the push…. But in Band 41, there are plenty of chipsets – its a very popular band in China and Japan, among others like US (Sprint) I would love to see better CAT support on band 41 CPES Gino A.

The latest phones (as in not released yet) can do 3x 20 MHz carrier aggregation. Not currently possible in 3.65, but would be in a 3550 world. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com [Image removed by sender.]<https://www.facebook.com/ICSIL>[Image removed by sender.]<https://plus.google.com/+IntelligentComputingSolutionsDeKalb>[Image removed by sender.]<https://www.linkedin.com/company/intelligent-computing-solutions>[Image removed by sender.]<https://twitter.com/ICSIL> ________________________________ From: "Patrick Leary" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 6, 2015 7:16:32 AM Subject: Re: [Telrad] LTE Categories I think it more relates to the band. It is all about mass. As I have shared with many, I think that changes fast with the advent of 3.55 GHz.
