There are some operators that have 2.5 licenses. Some acquired them privately or through the Select Spectrum Lease Auction. The 3.5 GHz version encompasses the 3.65 Licensed Light NN band (3.65-3.7 GHz) currently and once the CBRS band (3.55-3.7 GHz) comes out in late 2017, our equipment will only require a software upgrade. Most Wisps have NN licenses already. If not, I can help.

So Baicells offers 2.5GHz and 3.5GHz versions which require a license or arrangement with spectrum holder of these bands? How are you guys testing these without investing in licenses or permits?

You can still use a 3rd party CPE.....but if you're bringing a Baicells (or whatever) eNB into the mix then you'll need a separate EPC for that.

You can use the CPE's in between them as far as I understand. What changed with Telrad in the newest release is you can't add a non-Telrad base station to their EPC....which in turn means you can't use their system to authenticate/authorize any CPE connected to that non-Telrad BS. Ie: Telrad EPC requires Telrad BS, but other CPE are ok to use. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Mike Hammett" <af...@ics-il.net <mailto:af...@ics-il.net> > To: af@afmug.com <mailto:af@afmug.com> Sent: 10/3/2016 11:02:14 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] where is 3,5GHz heading to ?

Is Telrad and Baicells interoperable? Do cpes of both work with both BS? Or is the decision for one of them final? I see pricing of baicells listed by distributors so I guess they are cheaper than Telrad. -------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Adam Moffett <dmmoff...@gmail.com <mailto:dmmoff...@gmail.com> > Datum: 03.10.2016 15:42 (GMT+01:00) An: af@afmug.com <mailto:af@afmug.com> Betreff: Re: [AFMUG] where is 3,5GHz heading to ? We're wrestling with the same question here. M365 is inconsistent. We're testing Telrad LTE.

At the moment there are the following options: TDD LTE (Baicells / Telrad / Huawei) PMP450 (Cambium) WiMAX (Cambium/Purewave/Telrad) UBNT M365 (Ubiquity) WiMAX and UBNT do not have any development/future. TDD-LTE claims good NLOS capabilities. PMP450 claims higher sector capacity with LOS (QAM256). LTE claims Standards compatibility while there are not much options to select between. Baicell seem to bring LTE costs down to the Level of PMP450 while both are way above the level of wifi-based 5GHz systems. Baicell is in a testing/beta stage phase. PMP450 may increase performance/NLOS capability with cnMedusa next year. Not seen any announcements where TDD-LTE implementations are heading to next year. We’re still running WiMAX for NLOS as there is no clear path where to go
