Based on theoretical peak speeds. Actual speed experienced will be less. * Limited 4G LTE availability in select markets. 4G speeds are delivered by HSPA+ (with enhanced backhaul) or LTE, where available.

LTE & DAS LTE offers greater capacity and speed • Long Term Evolution (LTE) utilizes an all-IP based network architecture that has lower latency, which is essential for high demand data applications. • LTE supports Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) that has multiple Transmit & Receive antennas (each able to transmit & receive an independent data stream). • In theory, a 2x2 MIMO configuration should be able to double throughput. Signal quality, RF Environments & Venue Types impact the level of improved throughput. • Antenna spacing is key. The distance between the individual transmit & receive antennas impact the signals to be able to be deciphered as separate data streams.
MIMO Advantages / Disadvantages Design guidelines and performance requirements are complex issues
