Google SAS no longer enforces Part 90 of the Grandfathered Wireless Protection Zone (GWPZ) regulations. This change opens more spectrum for CBRS usage in the 3650-3700 MHz range, particularly in Texas and Louisiana.
- CBSDs that were located within GWPZs can now use the upper 50 MHz of the range.
- CBSDs within 40km of GWPZs now have EIRP restrictions removed when requesting grants (if no other incumbent limitations are present).
In order to take advantage of the potentially higher EIRP, CBSDs must perform a spectrum Inquiry to check available EIRP or otherwise request new grants. For more information on how to perform a Spectrum Inquiry, see Best Practices. This feature is Generally Available (GA).
