2x2 and 4x4 MiMo not enough? How about 8x8 MiMo...

World's First 8x8 MIMO Outdoor CPE Commercialized for Maximum LTE Network Value, Assuring Gb/s Experience

https://www.huawei.com/en/news/2019/10/ ... -cpe-b3368

Its $1500 on 4GlteMall
All of their CPE designs are very elegant. Sad that they are in the doghouse.

Maximizing 4G/5G signal performance - Transmit Power?

I have seen AT commands that can adjust the transmit power per band from 21 to 24.5 dBm Quectel describes setting the value up to a max of 24.5 dBm per band. Telit described the setting as the max value for the band. What is the default level? Is it already set to max? Is this feature blocked? Any f...

Re: Remote Management GoldenOrb

Although GoldenOrb and OpenWRT are linux derivatives, they do not have remote graphics such as VNC installed. This is a good thing, keeping performance up and reduce security issues.

Re: Unusual signal quality issues... Help!

With the timing of your construction, could the new/added electrical work cause an issue?
Did this change how your are grounding your gear?

Re: EM20g GPS

+1
I would like to know this as well.
Also, how does the card get the GPS signal?
I believe there are only 4 antenna snaps on the card.
Where do you put the GPS antenna?

Questions for Telit LM960A18 owners, please!

My current plan: ———————--- Put a 4x4 MiMo class module in a USB-3 enclosure with paddles, start with a virtualized router image OpenWRT/GoldenOrb to bench test, sort out signal strength and antenna placement, then work out the hardware support such as a RPi4B, and finally make the investment in out...

WOW, (14) Antenna snaps on SIMCom SIM8300G_M2

https://www.simcom.com/product/SIM8300G_M2.html

That would be quite the wad, using LMR400 cables !

You can download their docs if you register.
I wonder if they support MiMo 8x8, would be crazy.

Quectel EM20-G and EM16-G go poof?

On their web site, under 4G IoT, the strongest module now listed is EM12-G, plus EG18 as a chip.

Re: Google Fi phone service

I reached out with a chat session asking about data only service. I am not sure the other end was human, but impressive A.I. Although you can get a data only sim as a 2nd line, the list of data only devices is very small and no modems/routers exist. I don't know how their plan compares to the others...

They are a serious antenna company, even make antenna for mine shafts.
They have lots of informative videos on their youtube channel, IMHO.

GPS GNSS Antenna with 4x4 MiMo modems

If using a USB enclosure with a 4x4 MiMo modem like EM20, and OpenWRT/goldenOrb
The four snaps at the end of the Modem card are for 4G antenna.

Where and how would you implement GPS?

Future proof with 6 to 6 antenna?

Hello all, I am new here, you have a great forum. Getting all my facts and hatching a plan for my home wireless router. I like the setup of a USB enclosure with a 4x4 MiMo modem. Looking at either T-mobile or Verizon as carrier. That is an investment of four outdoor antenna. Would like to buy gear t...

Google Fi phone service

Anyone have any color on their service for phone and for routers? From browsing the site, they leverage Tmobile for 5G but say their phones can cross 3 carriers. They have unlimited but restricted plans as well as a pay as you go with a month cap on charges, So a monthly $20 plus $10/GB up to 6GB th...

Re: Need recommendations on a complete 4G LTE system set up for internet access at my new house in the sticks!

This response may be too late as the post is over a month old. If so, how did it work out for you? T-Mobile 71/n71 600MHz band may help the rural setup. (not sure if 600 is exclusively NR 5G or if 4G is flowing on it as well) To future proof the antenna purchase, I am reading that people should cons...
