Is Cambium still planning an LTE product? Just curious.

Regarding the original question… I am not sure what they’re worth, but
depending on the FCC response to the petition to extend part 90
operations beyond April 17, 2020, and what they rule regarding license
expiration dates, that value could go up a bit.
The whole CBRS subject is quite complex as you might imagine…
As of right now, I believe there are 5 vendors approved to be SAS
providers: Federated Wireless, CommScope, Google, Keybridge and Sony.
(Of those, there will be 2 separate ESC (Environmental Sensing
Capability) sensor networks. One installed by Federated, and one
jointly owned/operated by Google and CommScope. This network provides
capabilities for coastal operation where exclusion zones existed under
Part 90 rules).
We at Cambium plan to utilize cnMaestro as the domain proxy (or the
link) to the SAS service. As a customer of ours, you’ll be paying the
monthly fees directly to us, and we will be handing that over to the
SAS provider. We are working with all of the Big 3 (Federated,
CommScope and Google) and will choose the provider that provides the
best service and price for our customers. The goal is to eliminate
some of the burden associated with CBRS operation. I am not yet sure
exactly what the fees will be for this, but you can ball park it at a
few dollars per device per month.
Dave is correct in that the PMP 450 platform (all devices), which are
currently certified under Part 90 rules, will require simply a
software update in order to continue operating under Part 96 rules.
All of the hardware was designed to support operation all the way down
to 3550 MHz from the beginning, and will communicate with the SAS as
required by Part 96.
Regarding timing, it looks like ICD (Initial Commercial Deployment)
may begin in May, and actual commercial release of GAA operation
should happen sometime late Q3. PAL auctions look to be mid-2020 or a
bit later.
Cambium will publish more about this in the near future on our site,
and we will be discussing this briefly during WISPAmerica. I will be
there if any of you guys want to come out to Cincinnati and chat about it.

My point was there is not a single SAS administrator, there are
multiple vendors like Google, Federated Wireless and Commscope I
think. Each will have their own pricing and other pros and cons to
choosing them vs another.
As far as Cambium, I expect you will need to use cnMaestro which will
provide the interface to whichever SAS vendor you select.

From what I understand if you have cambium gear that it can be turned
up with a firmware update.
As far as who gets paid the monthly check for use of the sas I am not
clear on yet but I think cambium will
be a big player in this to help folks that have their gear.

I heard today that the SAS was supposed to be operational
imminently. The claim was that it would already have been up if
not for the federal shutdown. I was told to expect it in March.
....I guess we'll see. It was a year away for 10 years, so maybe
it'll be a month away for 10 months.
