Hi Maxis team,

For the LTE-A that you guys implement, it's using interband CA or intraband CA?
I'm currently own a Mi 5 and it do have support LTE-A just I dunno Maxis is supported to the phone or not

Is LTE-A = 4G+ ?

yes, you should see icon 4G+ if using CA

thanks! yep, 4G+ appears on my s7 at some places. Hv u check mi5 spec?

from GSMarena website, it shows support.



but, if xiaomi malaysia official website, it doesn't state clearly.

The reason i asked this question is I'm using Digi now, but then although Digi stated that they have LTE-A but i never detected, also reported some device who supported also can't detect, so I'm plan to switch to Maxis
For what i research now, Japan NTT Docomo and Taiwan Chunghwa Telecom LTE-A have same configuration, and the Mi 5 user there is managed to get connected
So i need very clear answer to this before i switch

But then Maxis admin here never answer to me since the date i post

I bet you no one from front liner can answer u, even if u walk in to their store. Get a prepaid to test it out or borrow simcard from your friend.

okay, fyi, CA capable phone is at least Cat4 and above. Since Mi 5 is using Snapdragon 820, this chip set is able to support Cat12, 3CA (up to 3 carriers). As long as the network that you using is what the phone able to support, in this case Mi 5 support LTE FDD B1(2100), B3(1800), B5(850), B7(2600).

based on latest MCMC spectrum allocation, and previous LTE spectrum allocation maxis is deploying LTE on both B3(1800) & B7(2600). So, i think the only possible for CA is B3 + B7.

Maxis are using interband CA for your information. I'm 100% 64GB and 128GB variant of Mi5 are able to utilize LTE-A on Maxis but not sure about 32GB variant.
