It might be different in Europe (deployments, not physics). Here one carrier owns nearly all of 2.5. All share the rest of the bands. The US carriers have only talked about 3.5 from the small cells aspect. Maybe outdoor urban, but definitely high density venues.

When it comes to wall penetration 3.5 is not very good. Carriers here have 1800 and 2500 for smaller cells. Von: Af [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Mike Hammett Gesendet: Montag, 3.

Indoor, they'll use 3.5. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com/images/fbicon.pnghttp://www.ics-il.com/images/googleicon.pnghttp://www.ics-il.com/images/linkedinicon.pnghttp://www.ics-il.com/images/twittericon.png Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.ics-il.com/images/fbicon.pnghttp://www.ics-il.com/images/linkedinicon.pnghttp://www.ics-il.com/images/twittericon.png The Brothers WISP http://www.ics-il.com/images/fbicon.pnghttp://www.ics-il.com/images/youtubeicon.png From: "Stefan Englhardt" < [email protected] > To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, October 3, 2016 7:05:16 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] where is 3,5GHz heading to ? As 3.5 GHz isn’t that good with indoor coverage I guess cellulars first fill up the spectrum below 3GHz and migrate from UMTS/GPRS/GSM to LTE to squeeze more bandwidth out of the lower frequencies. Indoor they might use wifi. Vodaphone and T-Mobile e.g. do wifi-calling with some handsets. Von: Af [ mailto:[email protected] ] Im Auftrag von Josh Reynolds Gesendet: Montag, 3.

TDD-LTE claims good NLOS capabilities. PMP450 claims higher sector capacity with LOS (QAM256). LTE claims Standards compatibility while there are not much options to select between. Baicell seem to bring LTE costs down to the Level of PMP450 while both are way above the level of wifi-based 5GHz systems. Baicell is in a testing/beta stage phase. PMP450 may increase performance/NLOS capability with cnMedusa next year. Not seen any announcements where TDD-LTE implementations are heading to next year. We’re still running WiMAX for NLOS as there is no clear path where to go
