Comment on How pCell works and why its a bigger deal than anyone realizes

Sorry, its just beamforming. Its not new, its just marketing.

its not all that different from having an 802.11n MIMO hotspot in your house.

Infact its not all that different from femto cell base stations. You'll still need a license to transmit on that frequency, and you still need a reliable backhaul to dump the data on.

It's different from the MIMO employed in Wifi or "normal" LTE. They do not create a cell per user, neither does a femto cell base station (it only creates a small cell, not a personal cell).

The other, other thing is that inverse square law still applies. along with propagation loss, and the like.

wireless power is literally a waste.
