Because it's capable of transmitting different data on each of the 7 2x2
MIMO emitters in the same frame. aka MU-MIMO. Think about a single 2x2
sector. It can talk to only one SM. Now add another sector facing the
same direction. You've doubled your capacity, right? Sure, but you're
using twice the spectrum. Put up 3x 30-degree or 5x 20-degree sectors.
More spectrum, more hardware. The cost of the hardware adds up, but is
kind of a moot point. The spectrum, or lack of, is not so moot.

Also what I don't understand about Medusa, since it has a bunch of
smaller sectors inside of it,, is the sectors inside of it running
ABABABAB frequency re-use? Why is the SM's not getting interference
from the adjacent array if they are all operating on same 20mhz frequency?
