ROTFL. Of course, so this time, I'll let you search the archives and find
them. You claimed that wireless backhaul would not do for 5G.
So let's get real for a minute.
In earlier discussions, we only talked about 5G in the millimeter bands - i.e.
Very high frequencies where the coverage is measured in feet, not miles.
IF I said 5G could not be used for backhaul it was a reflection of the distance
problem. But I did say that point-to-point wireless could be used for the
backhaul, and did not preclude 5G from this application.
but they are accurate. Obviously some form of backhaul is needed to the
5G fixed wireless radios.
So, figure it out. Whatever is used for backhaul has to at the very least
support the capacity of each of the cells that backhaul connects to, right?
5G cells are supposed to support up to 10 Gb/s, but I saw in the Verizon
trials that they are talking about 1 Gb/s.
That is the bandwidth per customer, not an entire node, and it is a trial,
where the technology is still under development. We won't have a 5G standard
until 2018 or 2019.
Now it is up to you, Craig, to see what that T-Mobile 600 MHz spectrum can
reasonably support, to give any credibility to your claim that it would be in
any way associated with 5G service. Actually, you should have done this
initially, before arguing.
I can say unequivocally that T-Mobile WILL deploy 5G in the 600 MHz band.
How can I say this?
Because I took the time to study the issues and discovered that there is a
planned upgraded path from 4G with MIMO to 5G as the standard is finalized.
This explains what T-Mobile is deploying, and how they will upgrade it to 5G in
the future.
**As always**, if you would go back to my very first post on this thread, you
will see that no other posts should have been necessary, to get this simple
point across.
Absurd. You clearly were wrong and did not know what you were taking about.
It just took a little more effort to prove you wrong this time.

Craig
