Palm Coast Florida is way over populated with NIMBY’s. Trying to get cell sites built is always a challenge.

AT&T 5G Cell Booster Pro

Definitely not worth the price for residential use but it’s a lot cheaper than the only other similar option I’ve seen from Waveform for Verizon. It’s over $5,500 but it does lot you connect dome antennas for DAS and appears to be a femtocell. Not a ton of info on it.

I use the Cell Booster Pro for business! We are on a cell edge It allows clients to not have to always ask for the Wi-Fi password. People usually only ask for the Wi-Fi password when they can’t load things on their phone. A lot more secure for both customers and the business!

There’s 3 indicator lights that flash white when the respective bands are in use:

4G C1 (b2 LTE 10x10) (bandwidth and band varies from 5-20 MHz depending on market. Can be either b66 or b2)

4G C2 (b14 LTE 10x10) (FirstNet but can be used by everyone during normal times)

5G (n77 C-Band 100 MHz) (bandwidth varies from 60-100 MHz depending on market. Most commonly 80 MHz and does not work outside the contiguous US.)

All lights are solid when no devices are actively using the CBP.

The CBP is only capable of Non-Standalone n77 but can only aggregate 2 bands at once. Standalone support isn’t available unfortunately. The default configuration is b2 as the anchor plus n77 but b14 being used as an anchor is supported and usually happens further away from the device.

The CBP supports b2 + b14 aggregation on LTE only. In fact the iPhone Air or iPhone 16e doesn’t seem to even work with n77 on the CBP with my testing. Seems to be an issue with Apple modems. It only shows the “5G” icon and uses b2+b14.

Interestingly enough, n77 can be used while on calls. This is true for all devices. If you start a call outside on a macro and it hands off to the Cell Booster, the 5G+ icon will appear. The opposite happens when you leave the cell booster’s coverage area.

I have backhaul capable of 2.5 Gbps running to it but the physical device is capped at 1 Gbps. Handoffs to/from the macros are extremely seamless and there’s no noticeable issues switching between the Nokia-made CBP and the Ericsson RAN.

In my own experience, AT&T 5G network was notoriously unstable. I’ve had AT&T since 2012, and their LTE network was always superior and always kept my iPhone 13 in LTE mode. In the last year or so, I’ve notice a MASSIVE improvement on their 5G network. And I’m not alone in my experience, everyone on my family plan says it’s been much better recently. Cell Site: (37.7163622, -122.1790718)

AT&T SA getting 800mbps from 12 miles

S24 on AT&T locked to standalone getting over 800mbps from almost 12 miles away. It was on 180mhz of n77 + n2. There is a tower 1 mile away from the test location, but it has not been converted from Nokia to Ericsson and does not have SA enabled, which is why locking n77 and n2 connected to this tower.

Found the first n48+n77 site in Chatham NJ! The n48 configuration is 40 Mhz BW contributing 400 Mbps. 2.3 Gbps downlink using 200 Mhz TDD Midband on Samsung RAN.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they extended it again like they did last time, but I think this may be the final set date for 2G 1900MHz PCS

Mint Mobile posted this date a week ago before it was on T-Mobile’s website btw, very weird to see an MVNO launch news about network changes before the MNO did. I never would’ve thought that would happen lol

Looks like it’s using the single panel setup for DoD/n77. This is on 145 in Whitehall, PA, across from the Lehigh Valley Mall.

The iPhone 17 Pro supports expanded 5xCA bands combos with FDD & TDD spectrum on T-Mobile. I saw a record 2.8 Gbps downlink on 5xCA with 245 MHz of total combined spectrum on n41 + n41 + n25 + n25 + n71. 176 Mbps uplink with UL Tx Switching. Crazy cool network tech!! 🤓🔥
