Patrick explained it before on one of the WISPA lists. It seems to check out.

They do have spatial diversity at the tower side....which theoretically gives them a little something extra in the uplink direction. They obviously still have the same 1W/mhz EIRP limit and the CPE (currently) has the same size antenna, and their base station antennas are still around 17dbi......so I can't see where that 10db comes from. They have 18 and 20dbi CPE coming down the pipe. Maybe they count 6db from the bigger CPE and allow themselves a little extra for the antenna diversity? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzAkMGKT5_M I feel like there might be some koolaid here somewhere -- All parts should go together without forcing. You must remember that the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you. Therefore, if you can't get them together again, there must be a reason. By all means, do not use a hammer. -- IBM maintenance manual, 1925
