Sprint: Showcasing the Capacity of Massive MIMO

Below video done by sprint last year to showcase the capacity of Massive MIMO in 4G. Testing showed a capacity increase of approximately four times compared to an 8T8R antenna. To showcase this capacity, Sprint convened 100 people with Samsung Galaxy S7 phones. They ran simultaneous file downloads on a timed-test on all networks. This demonstration was focused on showcasing the capacity of Massive MIMO. Furthermore, the testing showed a 100 percent success rate on the Massive MIMO-powered Sprint network, which was a significantly higher result compared to the other networks.

Context : field demo. In this field demo, the main goal was showcasing the capacity of Massive MIMO.
