is this the legendary beam forming antenna? u mobile 5G access ZTE sapu E.M, W.M HW sapu.

deal already signed, unker shame gonna pay full penalty for UM?

unker shame is ball-less but barking like mad dog, you see europe also force them to ditch HW & ZTE, but don't compensate european at all, so Europe keep on using HW and ZTE, because replace with nokia or ericcson gonna cost them ten of billions of euro, who gonna pay for it? lol

Canada at it one time got it own telco equipment called Nortel, but thanks to the management that prioritize stock price over R&D, the end fate is not hard to predict. i know bell and telus are big players. my guess is smaller players tend to use Huawei & ZTE as they don't have the big barjet like their big player counterparts, as they are serving rural area where less revenue can be generated. as in the case of USA. Federal Government have to subsidize the replacement cost, which is cut the nose to spike the face. Which ever that float the boat of these unhinged governments.
Transceiver? that mean you are on FTTH?

cool, fiber is good, but only available in city with high rise apartment. the cost of running fiber on landed homes is unimaginable. lol that is why in EM, always suggest to get FWA, if the 5G speed is good, I tested UM in EM, speed is faster than unifi yet the price is cheaper somemore with unlimited internet.

if not DNB who else then? DNB2 just started this year, so very few area got served under DNB2. for now you can assume cheap plan aka prepaid are using NSA. SA is full fledged 5G, only high price postpaid will get SA.

from day 1, the idea is to run NSA by making use of existing LTE since it is already built with so many sites. hence we get B28 anchor lor. no? SA, only selected place with good pop density in city make sense, perhaps that is all. forget about wide spread SA deployment if they don't want to run into deep red.

in Network Equipment, there is a 3GPP/ISO standard of communicating between devices of different vendors. if for example the 1Gbps SFP fiber port is connected to 1 end with ZTE and 1 end with Nokia, then they all have to adhere to a set of 3GPP/ISO specification of 1Gbps so that both can established handshake and start to work at 1Gbps, so this boiled down to both vendors follow strictly to the ISO spec. while ZTE and Nokia implement its 1Gbps separately. for the case of NSA compatibility is not an issue if both vendors willing to co-operate. if not, then is Not gonna works.

some roadmap to ponder on spectrum
just dont quote me for the truth of it.

HW no horse run !

the calculus behind OpenRAN is to fight HW and ZTE and other smaller China telco equipment vendors, such as Unisoc, etc. it is never gonna materialize when multiple vendors seat together and create an open standard that its sole aim is to fight HW and ZTE and alike. it is purely political move by Unker Shame.

way before OpenRAN, there is WiMAX consortium, also Unker Shame move to fight 3G standard lead by european telco vendors. same old same old. WiMAX=OpenRAN=unkershamefailpetprojectasusual.

super gg. time to jump ship to dnb2

location!

that only means, MoF looking for big suckers lor.lol

if UM can win, highly suspect ahem ahem lar. everyone know, the big 3 is M, C, D, now CD merged, it is even bigger. so these CD, and M gonna be sucker for DNB? since MoF wanna wash hands clean clean.

by right SA should smokes NSA hands down, but here the margin is very little, you sure is SA? got verify with cellular-z ?

by right, the SA should unleased the raw speed of 5G, no?

btw your speedtest result at your signature is gotten from test lab environment?

if that is the case, I'm not sure if that is congestion of that served area or the exynos SoC chip? do you have the info how fast this phone can support the dl speed in NR SA?

the 4G core network aka EPC is what ultimately decide the speedtest result. as all RAN converged to EPC and processed there. so the
RAN---Transmission---EPC, the entire bandwidth from RAN to EPC is deciding factor.

as you know, the current setup, B28 LTE anchor to 5G NSA is because reuse of LTE RAN (eNodeB) to connect to DNB core network (aka Ericcson's 5GC) this is the most economical ways of 5G implementation.

I think it will be long road before we can have 5G SA, as LTE eNodeB is still making up most of the RAN equipment with years of deployment.

Those who wanted 5G SA, the bestest way is jump on the bandwagon of UM ultra5G. single vendor, Huawei for West Msia, ZTE for E.Msia.
I don't know much about YES, UM and YES are consider smaller players, hence their own LTE deployment is not as wide and big compare to big Three. so it make sense for them to jump straight to 5G full deployment without the 4G deployment cost baggage.

the advantage of 5G SA are uMBB , mMTC , URLLC and Network slicing,
in simple term
uMBB = speed + capacity.
mMTC = connect millions of small IoT devices efficiently
URLLC = real-time + ultra-stable connection.

IoT in term of factory machines, they have reduce capabilities, aka redcap under 5G. Which is 200Mbps. Good enough to get the job done. The key is very small latency for machine to machine IoT in factory. 5G normal end users is speed. Factory and Autonous driving is different things altogether.
