It’s not theory that you will be protected from CBRS interference if you are in the grandfathered wireless protection zones (GWPZ’s). The SAS is REQUIRED to honor the GPWZ and CAN NOT assign a CBSD a frequency between 3650 and 3700Mhz. You do not need to contact the FCC if you are getting interference from a CBSD - you need to contact the SAS the screwed up and granted the request. Note this is a little problematic - you can’t get a 3650-3700 frequency for a CBSD in a GWPZ even if it’s your own equipment. There is no current mechanism in the SAS to say “It’s my GPWZ and I want to change the equipment I’m using to SAS operation and use the same frequency. You would need to unregister the existing 90z equipment and then hope that someone else doesn’t get the channel.
