So looking at tmobile (see it on B4 and B71 using a crapo app) now, got verizon up and going. I see ATT also. (B2)

So for Tmobile or ATT, it is going to take some elevation but possible. I have a 60ft antenna break over mast. So I can achieve this. My concerns are antenna selection, also where in ...

I agree. I need to start with a basic setup and sim. See where that takes me before going all out.

I do have ec25-af, ep06-a and 7455. Two spitz to test on. Yagis with be here Tuesday and I can start basic band 2 and 4 testing.

Should grab a USB to pcie... have several old routers with USB laying ...

I need to figure out if 4 white space antennas and b71+n71 aggregation is possible

Or two whitespace antennas and a parabolic grid or ldpa mimo setup for b2+n71 is possible.

Time to test with the WG1608, maybe install a few more pigtails to the trashcan.

Noticed the whitespace antennas will ...

Finally got a chance to test with the trashcan and the rm502q-ae.

I am using whitespace yagi. that are 480-698mhz or so. Also I've tested with a parabolic grid and 1700-2600?mhz feed horn.

I have observed B2+n71 CA. on the trashcan. Not the RM502Q-AE

The trash can I installed sma pigtails to pin ...

Also be aware, 4x4 mimo is not currently possible on n71 with available modems.

I may be wrong about SIM8200, though I think 2x2 is controlled at the tower anyways.

The Snapdragon x55 definitley has whitepapers stating such.

I suspect after I factor in b2 and b71 CA testing (only b2, b71, n71 ...

They're not pointed perfect but.. I need a break.. Too much ladder and wrenches this past month. Haha

*cough* We need a 600-900mhz 21dB+ 2x mimo feed horn *cough*

Only antenna's i've spaced too close together and had performance issues with were 470-690mhz whitespace antenna's, aiming for b71/n71. That is the lowest frequency we would ever go for as of now.

Most offered LTE/Cellular antennas have horrible performance below 700mhz, due to pole spacing ...

1) not sure, though elevation generally helps to a certain point.

2) EM160R-GL you can select bands at will. Modem will restart every time modification is saved.

3) Those bands will be available for service, the modem and tower will negotiate what band to use always.

4) Not sure, many factors ...

Been a busy month, still running the T-Mobile 5g gateway sim in a WG1608 with a quectel RM502Q-AE. Two TVWS 11dB yagi, One 2x MIMO 1710-2700 parabolic grid with feed horn. 4x 50' LMR400 runs.

Also a Visible sim in a GL.Inet X750, all I have for verizon is b13, so thats about as good as it gets on ...

Been tinkering with this a bit.

200mbps and under, anything that is in the supported devices list will work more or less. PI4 can get upto 250mbps.

For up to 400mbps throughput from WANs you want a dedicated 1gb NIC and gb switch backplane and modern dual core PC dedicated to OMR. At worst.

For ...

This is a WG3526-P build I just finished.

RM500Q-AE Modem
Mini PCIE to M.2 B Key adapter,
16MM N female to MHF4 bulkheads,
20mm - short body 8P8C connector - ethernet gland. (tight fit for the board, full sized 8P8C wouldn't fit)
TEA-005C model number diecast case. (it had all the proper threaded ...
