I thought the frequencies necessary for LTE in the US are licensed exclusively to carriers? Or does LTE tolerate different networks on the same frequency?

- claudeshannon 14y agoYou're right. This would be in violation of FCC regulation as it would interfere with a pre-existing network at 2600 MHz.

- a-priori 14y agoThey are, which makes the carriers "primary users" of those bands. As an unlicensed user, you may still legally transmit on these bands as long as your transmissions are limited to a small range and do not interfere with a primary user's use. This means that you must transmit at a low power, but exactly how low depends on the band.
