CBRS is very US-specific... It is indeed an innovative way to give access to spectrum, but it's a pity it has been done in this band (which had a huge potential for usual operators in terms of site reuse). I suspect in Europe a light l

There are already a lot of things that are feasible without any license. In Europe/CEPT, you might have a look at all bands under the provisions of ERC Recommendation 70-03 ( https://docdb.cept.org/download/2464 ).

I am not familiar with this specific situation in the US but there are also similar topics in other parts of the world (with civil airborne radio-altimeters as a victim). It might seem odd to talk about interferences while 5G is in its dedi
