Happy, no, but it wouldn't be illegal. And if they are building their
warehouse automation based on wifi, it would surely be a problem if someone
was competing for bandwidth.

The policy functions and timing interval of a cellular network are also far
superior to wifi.

What makes it different is once you've been allocated spectrum, which for
in-building use is almost guaranteed, no one else can use that spectrum, so
it's guaranteed. Unlike Wifi, where any device can transmit in those
frequencies.

If it's in premise would that really matter much? I mean if I tried to set
up an AP in an Amazon warehouse I assume they wouldn't be too happy about
that.

What do you mean 3rd Tier?

General Authorized Access? Taken from some random site looking it up.

The spectrum is CBRS and there are MANY benefits to 5G over Wifi,
including but not limited to guaranteed spectrum.

For the 3rd tier I assume that works pretty much like wifi spectrum,
right? It seems to be at about 3.5Ghz so that would be pretty short
distance. Other than handoff what other advantages does it have over wifi
(can wifi do seamless l2 handoff these days?)

Why would somebody want this over wifi? And what spectrum are they
using? They can't just camp on allocated spectrum, right?
