Old LTE (the 700MHz HPF kind?) or the new (608MHz HPF kind?)

For the old LTE deployments, this is the usual "go to"

  (sold on Amazon as:

)

For the new LTE deployments (and forward looking as
more mobile providers deploy in those bands), the
solutions are currently custom (and priced accordingly),
although everyone expects consumer priced devices
to start being publicly(*) available as phase 10 finishes.
There is a 600Mhz HPF availalbe, but blocks channels
35 and 36, which is in use in some locations.


(*) The problem is that if ChannelMaster (and their
ilk) release now, they will block existing channels
until the FCC phases are complete, so there would
be great public confusion, as most people don't
understand the even the trivial RF physics involved.
