That's what I'm seeing as well I guess. Can't get more SNR, can't get
more hertz.
The only path to improvement I see is really big beam forming array with
even more MU-MIMO chains. Cost will go up accordingly I think.
The alternate path would be millimeter wave with all the obvious
caveats. Not trying to be a doomsayer, but I'm seeing a wall in front of me.

It's seems to me that it would require a pretty radical change for
fixed wireless to progress a whole lot beyond what it's currently
capable of. Maybe 6ghz being opened up will allow for using much wider
channels, and keep things interesting, but I don't see things like
MU-MIMO being more than an incremental improvement, like practically
everything over the past decade or so.
60ghz has the potential to be a true competitor to fiber, but that's
going to require a completely different network design than what we're
used to.

I’m pretty sure there’s time travel involved.
I think RF Design hasn’t evolved much. Simple N=1 reuse and
cell splits are the method that’s been used successfully for
decades. Going smaller isn’t innovative. MiMo is a big leap
however. Broader channels are the only way to deliver huge
bandwidth. Going higher and higher QAM doesn’t work well for
mobile handsets and the diminishing returns and crazy timing
necessary to maintain a high QAM other than a lab are not
practical. Small cells are UGLY. They’re also close to the
people and EMR is a concern to many. The FCC has guidelines
that I do trust but we’re not dealing with sites that are 100’
tall and every 1/2 mile now. They’re on just about every
street corner. Most carriers are digging up the streets to
bring fiber to each of these poles. It’s an expensive
deployment. 802.11ax is the best innovation I’ve seen and it
is truly 5G more than anything else that’s out there. 8x8 and
12x12 MiMo and color coded streams for interference mitigation
are a big difference maker.

*Subject: *[AFMUG] Wireless future
Any opinions on where wireless technology will evolve in the
next 5 years?
There's a compound annual growth in demand, and trying to
think about
how manufacturers will meet that going forward. I'm assuming
we can't
count on bigger channels or more spectrum. So what then?
More MU-MIMO
chains? Or is it going to have to be street level small cells
(60ghz
etc)? Or something else?
We're investing heavily in fiber, as I know a lot of you are,
but the
wireless customers aren't going to go away.
