...at the cost of somewhat high probability of interfering with the
opposite sector on the same freq. Been there, done that. Note than
-52dBm is the default SM target receive level for SM Tx power control. I
usually try to back this off to -55 or -57.
And yes, I have short range SMs receiving at -45 to -50dBm. These will
sometimes see the opposite sector. 30+dB of f/b ratio is great, but in
this instance, it's not enough to achieve 256QAM. So you need to be very
careful about what you're doing with customers close to sites. Some of
these we've moved to an omni (yeah I know) at 5.4 dedicated to short
range customers.

-55 dBm is a perfectly acceptable target level. In fact, sometimes,
you�ll want to set the target slightly higher (like -52 dBm) to
overcome higher noise levels.
