You have to be CPI certified to input CBRS data into the SAS. Basically
says youre liable for inaccurate parameters. there are like 12 primary
parameters that have to be put in. Then the sas administrators run it
through radio mobile after hours and compare notes to decide whether you
are impacting and incumbent or PAL holder. if not they give you the green
light or some settings changes.

Id like to think the SAS administrators just have a room full of guys
running radio mobile on old PCs, piles of cigarette butts on the tables,
empty coffee cups everywhere, talking abut how FORTRAN is SUPERIOR to COBOL
and that its just a matter of time until linux takes over the desktop
market when people finally realize how it really is a superior OS. one of
the guys is playing DOOM in the corner. They all have mullets and mustaches
and thick glasses. One of them has an eye patch for no apparent reason.
Rush 2112 is playing on loop. Its just a madhouse back there
