Just because you mentioned 5G CBRS:

Freedomfi (https://freedomfi.com/) is selling hardware later this year which will allow you to become your own cell tower for 5G CBRS bands, based on Facebook's magma project. You can backhaul a 5G modem/antenna, offload to a major MNO/MVNO, and get paid $.50 per gb consumption, paid in Helium HNT crypto (yes, crypto). Its still a big work in progress but could totally unlock private deployments of 5G networks and make them almost as easy as setting up wifi.



This is cool, thanks! I'll check it out and probably add a link on startyourownisp.com.

A few of the other companies that I know are doing fixed 4G LTE right now are Blinq and BaiCells. BaiCells, at least, is also moving toward 5G.


Baicells will be a big partner with FreedomFi and probably a preferred antenna/modem vendor for the 5g small cells which CBRS is good for.
