Sounds like Tsunami/Linx equivellent, running DSSS using most of the band to deliver a few T1s. The carriers use unlicenced for the same reason we do. They sub it out to a contractor, and then the contractor comes up with a solution that takes the least planning. Dont take it personally, the carriers usually dont use the Spectrum hogg gear to hurt you, instead they use it for selfish reasons. They figure use the protocol that require the least SNR so they minimize the risk of others can step on them. I hate that.
One option is that you can deploy licensed wireless, and then go to the cellular company and try to sell them a more reliable circuit, maybe even at a discount. ONe thing that you might be able to use to your advantage is..... Often the big carrier deploys unlicensed with the mentality that because its unlicensed that they dont have to tell anyone at the tower, or license that specific freq with teh tower owner. Meaning, they may not have the right to use that spectrum at the tower nailed down. So you might be able to license the use of that spectrum at the site, if you try. They likely are only protected by a first in non-interference clause, if they listed the ubnlicensed gear in their tower agreement. You might be able to re-use the spectrum if you give your self about a 100ft of seperation. I guess my point is.... Dont assume that The cellular carrier who owns the gear is the one that you have to negotiate with. Thats not necessarilly a given. Remember, interference can be bi-directional. And you ahve the ability to interfere with them if you also use inefficient technology. That always creates some leverage for everyone to play nice togeather.
