In the United States regulated by the FCC CBRS Tier 3 is available to "general authorized users." You can operate a private lte-network so long as you authorize and follow the spectrum rules. From the FCC Website

> The GAA tier is licensed-by-rule to permit open, flexible access to the band for the widest possible group of potential users. GAA users can operate throughout the 3550-3700 MHz band. GAA users must not cause harmful interference to Incumbent Access users or Priority Access Licensees and must accept interference from these users. GAA users also have no expectation of interference protection from other GAA users. Technical rules for GAA users can be found in Subpart E of Part 96.

Sort of a tangent-- I always wondered what was meant when you see FCC disclaimers (i. e. the Part 15 disclaimers on anything electric) that says "must accept interference."

That seems weird to specify-- interference seems like an environmental hazard to be expected, like saying a light bulb must "accept" a brownout.

Does it mean "it won't be damaged by the expected level of RFI" or is there some sort of "active rejection of interference" they're explicitly forbidding?

The requirement to "accept interference" is legal rather than technical. It means that if the device experiences issues with interference you can't use the normally available method of filing an FCC complaint to get the source of the interfrence shut down.

Have you figured out how to get a SAS connection as a GAA user? I can't even find a price list.
