I’ve got requests into a couple of the SAS choices asking why are you the best choice. The “choose wisely” thing puts some pressure on. Also makes you think about what happens if there’s a shakeout. With 4 now and more in the pipeline, it’s possible some of the spaghetti won’t stick to the wall.
Are there differences on things like frequency reuse between your own sectors and even other friendly WISPs based on the way we have traditionally done frequency planning on Cambium stuff with GPS sync? What about requesting and granting channels larger than 10 MHz (20, 30, 40 … well at least 20)? Are they pretty much the same on that, or do they differentiate themselves?

You get 1 bill, then they pay the administrator. You still get an account to interact directly with the administrator. They very much stress to choose wisely upfront, changing administrators mid stream can be a nightmare they said, all of your grants have to be revoked and redone. It was brought up using this sas administrator account for non cambium, but that may cause weird billing issues, so dealing directly with the administrator would probably be best on that. It may be worth turning up cnmaestro, requesting CBRS and picking the vendor to get the account set up correctly anyway. One thing they did say too is that delinquencies are a manual process, so if you have some weird billing thing, your SAS account wont be suspended (assuming cambium pays the bill). But the point is you wont wake up one morning to a dead network because cambium lost an ippay token On Thu, Jan 30, 2020 at 5:10 PM Ken Hohhof <af...@kwisp.com <mailto:af...@kwisp.com> > wrote: Specifically for Cambium and cnMaestro as a Domain Proxy, I’m still a little unclear if we first establish an account with one of the SAS vendors. Or just select one as part of switching cnMaestro cloud to CBRS mode. Cambium collects the money from us and pays the SAS vendor, so I’m assuming any discussion here about $5K upfront payments doesn’t apply. Not sure about NDA. I haven’t come across anything in the Cambium instructions or online training yet that say to sign up with Federated, Comsearch or Google first.

They have so many cost effective services for our industry. Theyre also working up some CBRS planning that seems like it will be beneficial, especially if you are thinking you might want to bid on PALs. they have the biggest GIS (please make them a meme about that) On Thu, Jan 30, 2020 at 4:30 PM Eric Nielsen <ericlniel...@gmail.com <mailto:ericlniel...@gmail.com> > wrote: I can’t speak for the other SAS providers, but I can definitely affirm that CommScope is working directly with licensees.
