Been around FCC enforcement action for 40 years. Not likely to happen. First of all, how would anyone know to report you. Have to be a disgruntled former employee. Then what are they gonna do? Actually come visit and audit? I think it is very unlikely. Probably a phone call that you have been reported and you better clean up the database. Not like you are transmitting in the DFS band or something.

If somebody goes and messes with it later on, you can't really hold the CPI responsible for that, so there theoretically shouldn't be any ongoing liability, as long as you did the job right in the first place. There's less incentive for an employee to make sure they did everything right, if they aren't personally responsible for it. A CPI leaving the company shouldn't really have any impact on any existing CBSD's... I would think the CPI could even be a contractor, but I never actually took the CPI course, so I could be wrong...

I did the Google test at Coursera. There simply can't and won't be a company CPI. If you leave the company then the company needs to recertify.

Every time. Every CPE, every AP. If it's operating under your NN license, which is almost certainly expired, you're operating illegally. If you're operating under CBRS it requires you to report every CPE.

I believed that what was supposed to be “registered” was a CBSD which had specific height requirements and type which these units aren’t exceeding these specifications. Yes the product is Baicells.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's true for some of the other LTE products too.

Maybe Andy has a different product that works differently. ….but yeah all fixed CPE are supposed to be in the SAS. I think mobile devices don’t need to be registered. Since Andy mentioned eNB I’m guessing maybe he’s got an LTE product, and maybe the vendor allows you to pretend the UE are all mobile?
