Are you saying it's ok to run base stations in that band without a license? A quick search isn't showing me much.

- int_19h 6y agoCBRS is a 3.5 GHz band that's specifically designated for shared use. Priority licensing is available, but in places where there are no licensees or other priority users for a particular channel, it is available for general use on a first-come-first-serve basis, with explicit reservation (over the internet). This does not require a license for the operator.
- e12e 6y agoDo regular phones (android, iPhone) typically support this band?
- jauer 6y agoIt depends. Off the top of my head, major devices that support it include: iPhones & iPads since late 2019, Google Pixel 3 & 4, Samsung Galaxy S10.
- jauer 6y agobut you do need the certified installer flag/license, which ISTR is $700 on Coursera and access to a SAS to check out spectrum (like checking out a book from library). Harder than setting up a WiFi AP, but much easier than winning spectrum at auction and less work than getting a traditional cellco eNB running (IMO). The Ruckus and Airspan eNBs I have feel pretty similar to a enterprise-class WiFi AP (Aruba/Cisco).
