Though 3.65 Ghz is basically treated as 5 Ghz, it can share the same space as another provider, though every link is registered with the FCC.We do have a nationwide 3.65 license. However we are only using it currently in one very small area in Iowa. There are other areas into which we're looking to put up service, but I know for a fact that in some of them there are existing WISPs that are using 3.65. I'm researching this for my boss to let him know that there may (or may not) be issues if we try to go into an area that already has a licensed 3.65 WISP using these frequencies there.I should've done a better job with the background on my original post.
Since you have the license, you are entitled to put up more devices, just not as Incumbent. So what you might want to do is pull the FCC's ULS records in that area to see what registered devices the existing WISPs have in the area you're looking to go into. It is possible that the WISPs in question didn't all bother to register everything they could have -- the number of registered devices in ULS strikes me as awfully low. Iowa, for instance, shows 60 licensees, some of whom register CPEs, some who don't.

Let's say I'm opening up a new WISP and want to go into an area where there is an existing WISP already there. And let's say I want to use 3.65 GHz (non-LTE if that matters) gear in that area, but that the existing WISP already has 3.65 GHz gear up in the same area, and has it licensed properly with the FCC. I'm guessing that the existing WISP wins, and that I wouldn't be allowed to come in and put my gear up, potentially interfering with his existing operation. Is that correct or is it not as simple as this?
