milan03··on 5G, the Long Road Ahead
Walrus01, you brought a very interesting topic. In NYC market for instance, operators provision their cell sites between 100 and 400Mbps. Verizon for instance has 45MHz of aggregate downlink radio capacity, which in today's 2x2 MIMO configuration means 337.5Mbps potential throughput per sector, times three sectors per site and you're at 1Gbps requirement. Yet, their sites are mostly provisioned at 150 or 200Mbps PER SITE, and then shared between three sectors. Most of their sites have 1Gbps capable cards too...

It's been an opex saving trend for all operators which will allows them to "control" incremental capacity gain at their discretion, without a truck roll.

I definitely plan on addressing that in the future posts, it's an annoying issue from the consumer perspective, that's for sure.
