Re: I don't understand
Hang on.. Let me clarify this statement...
1900 MHz frequencies penetrate buildings better than 800 MHz signals do AT HIGH POWER LEVELS.
For example, a Sprint tower NEXT to a highrise will have better penetration into the building than an 800 MHz frequency would if the tower were farther away.
However, in the real world, this situation isn't always the case and 800 MHz carriers will typically dominate.
Conversely, 1900 MHz (aka. PCS) networks typically have more cell sites (dense tower spacing) in a given area than 800 MHz (aka. cellular) networks, which could make this situation more likely in certain areas. |
