I love America. I stand for the anthem, respect the flag & honor the men & women who fought to defend our Nation. I respect Free Speech & I’m exerting mine: until @Nike ends its contempt for those values, I WILL NO LONGER PURCHASE NIKE PRODUCTS. #WalkAwayFromNike RT if you agree.

[Ray Butler @RF_rkb]

Great partnership!

[John Saw @JohnSaw]

New #DAS at #OptimaSignature with @boingo @CommScope now on air providing even better @Sprint service to our #Chicagoland customers!

[Ray Butler @RF_rkb]

Looking forward to an enlightening MOKAN wireless session tomorrow https://t.co/KpJhrJ2esm

[CommScope @CommScope]

Our @RF_rkb will be talking #smallcells and #5G at MOKAN Wireless Assoc's Lunch and Learn tomorrow: https://t.co/lNSZSQm9l3

[Ray Butler @RF_rkb]

A10 Want to know more about 5G? Check out https://t.co/WPBNkMsXhb #COMMtweets https://t.co/xSO8CFFp1T

[CommScope @CommScope]

Q10: How can we build more flexibility and future-readiness into networks as they evolve to #5G? #COMMtweets

[Ray Butler @RF_rkb]

A10: Deploy poles today for 4G with 5G in mind #COMMtweets https://t.co/xSO8CFFp1T

[Ray Butler @RF_rkb]

Agree power to the pole is a key consideration #COMMtweets https://t.co/ZA75eEZkRD

[TESSCO Technologies @TesscoTech]

@CommScope Centralized line powering is helping to deploy small cells in areas where power isn't readily available. #COMMtweets

[Ray Butler @RF_rkb]

A8: Fiber connectivity is at the heart of convergence #COMMtweets https://t.co/3rHclsDB0E

[CommScope @CommScope]

Q8: How does the convergence of wireless and wireline help outdoor densification?#COMMtweets

[Ray Butler @RF_rkb]

A7: HOS is another tool in the toolkit! small cells definitely a part of mmwave and dense 4G #COMMtweets https://t.co/c24rQfBpw4

[EJL Wireless @ejlwireless]

@CommScope A7 I would think this is the preferred solution for the macro site and if the downtilt is ok, you could eliminate small cells. #COMMtweets

[Ray Butler @RF_rkb]

A7: Find out how sector sculpting can add capacity: https://t.co/8cLNSmMn3Q #COMMtweets https://t.co/bgQVFjC6J6

[CommScope @CommScope]

Q7: How about sector splitting and sectorization at macro cell sites? #COMMtweets

[Ray Butler @RF_rkb]

A7: Higher orders of sectorization offer a low-cost solution to densification #COMMtweets https://t.co/bgQVFjC6J6

[CommScope @CommScope]

Q7: How about sector splitting and sectorization at macro cell sites? #COMMtweets

[Ray Butler @RF_rkb]

A6: Outdoor DAS are the best solution available today for multi operator #COMMtweets https://t.co/pHPwd0VnGm

[Mike Wolfe @m_wolfetx]

A6: Also, oDAS and metrocells can be
complementary.  oDAS can be driven from
low power radios #COMMtweets https://t.co/w23MlyKKV3

[Ray Butler @RF_rkb]

A5: Centralized RAN paves the way for Cloud RAN #COMMtweets https://t.co/RriLoZKx6E

[CommScope @CommScope]

Q5: How does C-RAN support densification? #COMMtweets

[Ray Butler @RF_rkb]

Business case plays better when mobility is included #COMMtweets https://t.co/MuVYbIzj9e

[Sean Kinney @seankinneyRCR]

.@CommScope speaking of nightmares, what's outlook for #mmWave mobilization? Will this just be used for FWA for near/long term? #COMMtweets

[Ray Butler @RF_rkb]

Economics are driving sharing in other parts of the world. Could still happen here #COMMtweets https://t.co/Te4zs2PcT8

[Inside Towers @InsideTowers]

@RF_rkb @CommScope Do you think that will ever change? #COMMtweets

[Ray Butler @RF_rkb]

Site sharing has never been major trend #COMMtweets https://t.co/aZKTYAjipD

[Sharon Vollman @svollman]

@RF_rkb Shocker, right? #COMMtweets https://t.co/Mc8FfStKSn

[Ray Butler @RF_rkb]

oDAS is understood - bigger question is who pays #COMMtweets https://t.co/7LsOwmrnhB

[EJL Wireless @ejlwireless]

@RF_rkb Ray is CommScope seeing trends that cities understand these benefits at all??? @CommScope #COMMtweets

[Ray Butler @RF_rkb]

A4: Site sharing is done to a limited extent with tower companies as host. We see very few poles shared between operators #COMMtweets https://t.co/ne7PvMgvwQ

[CommScope @CommScope]

Q4: Is site sharing a common practice for outdoor small cells? #COMMtweets

[Ray Butler @RF_rkb]

oDAS provides a flexible solution for multi operator outdoor #COMMtweets https://t.co/CEyLSjCXqU

[EJL Wireless @ejlwireless]

A1 Going back to standardization and local issues, is there any trend towards cities considering oDAS? #COMMtweets

[Ray Butler @RF_rkb]

A3: Environmental requirements can vary from region to region #COMMtweets https://t.co/J2VGKI53ti

[CommScope @CommScope]

Q3: What are some of the regional considerations for concealment, thermal management, etc. of metro cells? #COMMtweets

[Ray Butler @RF_rkb]

A1: Challenges relate to PBS – Getting Power and Backhaul to the site, and acquiring the site.#COMMtweets https://t.co/zcfKldCrHg

[CommScope @CommScope]

Let’s get started! Q1: What are the challenges around outdoor densification in wireless networks? #COMMtweets
