For example, 4 X 4 MIMO increases the number of connections between a phone and a cell tower, 256QAM sends more data to compatible handsets using the same amount of binary signals., and carrier aggregation combines spectrum from two or more carriers to increase the data capacity of a data channel. In other words, AT&T's 5G Evolution is not really 5G, which is why Sprint has sued AT&T over the use of the 5GE logo on certain handsets that are connected ...
