Re: Altice Fiber Details, Pricing, and AvailabilityTowers would most likely use lightpath. This would be for in neighborhoods and other things. |

The strand mount cells are very limited in range, so there would not be too much traffic to manage. Plus the devices are powered by the coax infrastructure. If they moved to fiber, they would need to add power supplies which would complicate their setup. |

i assume these strand mounted cells are frequency & modulation configurable otherwise theyre useless for t-mobile customers. |

They are Nokia mini-macros, which are one of the two RAN vendors that T-Mobile uses.
I have to confirm but I believe this market is an Ericsson market for T-Mobile.
*source* worked for Sprint for 13 years, did my share of site walks and deployments of cell sites. |

Arent they powered by the coax? |

how could coax possibly provide enough power for a microcell? happy to be proven wrong, but every single microcell i have every seen has a dedicated power meter and power supply. |

These are the type of devices we are talking about. » www.airspan.com/airstrand/You are confusing them with traditional small cells, which are altogether different. |

Yeah...they're pretty cool...but I'm not sure that they actually work all that well!
They can easily be confused with nodes and wifi hotspots as they can look somewhat similar. |
