NR7101 SA carrier aggregation

Hi, I just would to know if buy a nr7101 nowdays is a good choice for future.

Can it do 5G CA? Dual?

Can it do 5G CA + 4G CA?

Or maybe an x62 modem is a better choice?

What bands are you using in your area?

In Italy, currently licensing bands are b1, b3, b7, b20, b32, b38 for 4G, and N28, N78, N257, N258 for 5G.

NR7101 can`t handle N257 and N258 but all the other bands.

In my area we only got B3, B7, B8, B20, B28 and n28. (700-2700 mHz)

Closest tower is 4,4 kilometers from where i live so pretty far away.

I only use B3, B3, B7, N28 (5G NSA).

NR7101 has good internal antenna gain especially at low bands compared to all modems i have seen so far on the market and believe me i have looked at many.

I´m satisfied with this speed under my circumstances.

Check this link and expand LTE CA Combos / EN-DC Combos.

For me these are the speeds with NR7101. The tower is 1,5km from me. B1 15MHz + B8 10MHz + B3 20MHz + N78 100MHz. RSRP's are 70-80 for 4G and ~85 for 5G. As SELBERG wrote, the signal levels with the NR7101 are very good. I don't have a clear view of the tower, but there are no big terrain obstacles, just a few buildings and trees. I am very satisfied with the NR7101.

In Hungary we don't got 5G CA yet.

Hi, my questions are about future. What wil do this router when isp will switch to 5G SA?

For now it's very good with NSA, i know (even if software is bad in handle wan reconnection).

Did you follow link and read as i wrote ?🤔

This is what it is capable in 5G SA.

You can't buy any electronics today and think it is uptodate in 5 years.

And,🤔 who knows anything about the future?🤔
