We have 2 tower sites (each with 4 sectors of Cambium 3.65) on County Line Rd. I worry about the issue of serving customers across county lines. Oh, and PALs are out of the question, one of the counties has much higher population and we are only on the far (rural) edge of it. But even using GAA, not sure if there is a solution for crossing county lines. What really sucks is that the tower with the most subs actually sits a few feet into the more populous county. Even if we moved the subscribers in that county to another band, would we not be allowed to serve our subscribers on the other side of the road?
Maybe this is not really a problem if counties are mainly an issue for PAL licenses.

I get alot of answers from people not in the trials, its all guesswork though, Id like to her something definitive. The answers are driving a 100k difference in product decisions. If any of you degenerates are involved or can forward to people who are involved, Id give my first born for clear answers 1. Are you overlapped with other CBRS/SAS trial operators? a. Is the overlap same county/neighboring county? b. What are the SAS controls looking like. EIRP alterations, channel changes, channel size decreases, etc? c. How often are SAS commands being issued? (constantly, hourly, daily, weekly, rarely, etc?) d. Is there any site/POP colocation with other CBRS/SAS trial operators? e. Are you able to effectively operate ABAB/ABCD within the band effectively while overlapping, and in what channel size? f. Have you come across a scenario where your operations were ceased by SAS? i. Example being, all CBRS channels in use and a temporary outage occurs, during which time another operator is granted access to the silent channel. 2. Does SAS impact your operation among your own cells. a. Are you able to allow overlap in your own cells that would not be an option with another operator present on the license region? 3. Is the predeployment modelling available from any of the SAS vendors for site planning? 4. Are there real time tools for monitoring your regional CBRS environment? 5. How have you dealt with non CBRS/SAS trial operators still operating under the N license? 6. Has the mechanism for recourse been defined should SAS not resolve conflicting CBRS operations amongst operators. a. Is there a tool for obtaining a contact when there is a discrepancy to self resolve amongst operators? 7. When operating near a county line, assuming it is PAL operation, are you able to place a subscriber onto that base station that resides in the neighboring county? a. If operating in GAA in this environment, does the neighboring county GAA supersede the ability to install a subscriber to the neighboring county base station? If so, how does SAS calculate the Instruction set to the base station? I don’t know if anyone is able to provide any of these answers due to NDA or not
